Our 1st Trick or Treating

Yes my Son is 3 and we have never been Trick or Treating! His last 3 Halloweens have been spent at Harvest Festivals and Halloween parties!

We did not do door to door Trick or Treating . Our gym held a Trick or Treating event the day before Halloween.

All the kids were encouraged to wear their costume from 5pm to 6pm to the gym!

It was just so precious as I watched the Ladybug and Tiger walk through the parking lot with their Dollar spot mini candy buckets.

They turned so many heads and people even stopped to tell them how cute they were!

After their 1st candy stop they got the hang of it!

It was just beyond adorable to hear the words " Trick or Treat!" come out of their mouths as they approached every stop in the gym!

This event was so simple but simply sweet!

I love the care that my kids get from the workers while I workout at this gym. This event that they took the time to throw for kids just impressed me even more!

After the Gym we headed to the Great Aunt's house, to show her their costumes and get their special treats from her.

She is definitely a great Aunt that is more like a 2nd Grandma.

The kids got a real candy bucket(for next year), a flash light, a pencil(once a teacher always a teacher), and 2 pumpkin suckers each!

They both were so thrilled to eat their 1st Halloween sucker!

The stick to the sucker glowed in the dark!

They had a ball sucking away , so we clicked away with pictures!

A simple Halloween that will forever be cherished in my heart!

WIWW: World Champions

I would be lying if I started this post by saying that I have always been a S.F. Giants fan! I am currently living and was born and raised in the Bay Area. I have always known about the Giants because my Grandfather was a big fan when he was alive. My husband  has also always been a S.F. Giant fan. Since the Giants games are always on in my house I have gotten to know the team a bit, or ALOT. I went to my first Giants game on this post. I am now an official fan! My husband stated that he loves that I am now an official fan. He feels that our common interest brings us even closer!
With all this being said, it was a big weekend for our household. We have been glued to our T.V., the gyms T.V's, and car radio(when not at home). This last Sunday was the Biggest Game and it was also church day. We went to church in the morning and then watch the game later that afternoon. My whole family wore S.F Giants gear to church...yes to church! It was so fun and our fellow church members thought so too, as we wore our Orange,Grey, Black, and White proud. 

What I Wore:

Hat: New York & Company Shirt &Skirt: Target

Earrings: Target Purse&Watch: Coach(Birthday Gifts!!!)

Team Spirit: In Our Hearts

The Family : From God

Time at the Patch

When I think about Seasons I love I think of Fall!

When I think of Fall I think of pumpkins!

When I think of pumpkins I think of pumpkin patches.

When I think of pumpkin patches I think of family fun!

We took our family trip to the patch last week.

It was in the middle of the week and in the morning!

This meant we almost had the whole patch to ourselves!

The kids loved looking at all the pumpkins.

It took them both a little time to warm up, but when they did they loved running and climbing over the pumpkins.

I loved seeing their eyes as they looked at all the beautiful orange pumpkins.

I also loved their reactions once they seen the patch had rides too!

We ALL had fun riding the rides!

The kids could of stayed there all day.

Maybe we could of too!?

It was time for lunch so we said goodbye to the pumpkins!

Another great family memory in the book and now on the blog!

They are My Sunshines

Mr. Wonderful, Boy, and Girl are truly the brightest sunshines in my life. When I seen this painting on pinterest I wanted to make one for my family. I love to sing this song to my kids and husband. When everything in the world can seem grey they brighten my day.

I am in love with chevron print and browns right now, so I incorporated it into my painting.

I used :

4 colors of Acrylic Paint(JoAnns $1.99/each)

1 Canvas(50% off at JoAnns)

3 of my paint brushes

A pencil

Any suggestions on where I should place it in our home?

I will leave you all with the sweet lyrics:

You are my sunshine

My only sunshine

You make me happy

When the skies are grey

You'll never know dear

How much I love you

So please don't take

My Sunshine

Away

The Red Chair

Yes, this post is about a red Cars chair. A red chair that the Boy received from his Grandparents 2 Christmases ago!

It looked liked it was love at first sit. We were not completely sure if the boy would love sitting in it for long.

It has been the Boys' go to chair for milk time, cartoon time, sport watching time, and as you can see, lounging time!

Over the last five months of the Girl being mobile she has tried to declare it her chair. Needless to say the Boy is not handing it down easy. He is about to out grow it and I just can't believe it!

He has literally grew on this chair over the last 2 years. If this chair had eyes it would of captured not only the Boys' growth but our family's growth. I will forever remember this chair and it will always carry sentiment in our hearts.

I guess this post is more than me talking about a red chair but me being mindful of a sweet thing. I am taking time to cherish a simple thing that will be a big memory in the years to come!
