Early Trick-Or-Treating


Friday was Halloween for Will's company.  Families were invited to the high-riset to do some trik-or-treating, the employees were in charge of decorating and candy.  Holy cow did Reese get a good haul.  And I'd be lion if I said Liam didn't too well either.

Also, it was fun to see where Daddy works.  Though I am a little concerned that we still have ward trunk-or-treat tonight and a party plus regular trick-or-treating on Monday.  Sheesh.  WAAYYY too much candy.  Anyone know where I can donate the excess to?

Pin The Tail On The Elephant

Yesterday Reese wanted to play pin the tail on the elephant.  We Googled "pin the tail on the elephant" and found the results to be disturbingly lacking.  So for the benefit of all you who have been searching in vain for a proper elephant tail-pinning game, I've decided to post ours.
No need to thank me.  My reward is simply knowing I've made life better for others.

Reese won.  Though I have a sneaking suspicion that she peeked.

Birthday

Yes, my birthday was two days ago.  I spent most of the day reading.  It was fabulous.  Will and Reese got me some flowers, some jewelry, and made a cake for me.  We ordered pizza for dinner so I wouldn't have to cook.  I loved it.

I didn't take any pictures, but grandma did.  Maybe I will get them from her and post them.  We'll see.

Riding A Bike

We took a walk and insisted that Reese stay on her bike even when she says it got "too hard."  She's getting better at the pedals now.  So proud!

 

 

 

Liam, on the other hand, just took the stroller.

Painting Pumpkins

The pumpkins were from my dad's garden.  Reese has been super excited to paint them since we picked them.  I even let Liam hold a paint brush:

Sorry, I was behind the camera.  Happy Halloween!

Playing In A Box

 

And also my cute kids at Gramma Faber's house:

Freebies2deals

Okay, so remember that ipad that Will got a couple months ago? Yeah?  Well, Reese already dropped and cracked it.  Not super surprised.  

BUT my favorite deals site, freebies2deals, is doing a giveaway of an ipad, and I thought I might try and get him a new one while letting you all in on the greatness that is Freebies2deals.

So here's the scoop:

This site updates on a multiple-time-a-day basis to bring you updates on deals, savings opportunities, high-value coupons, shopping advice and, of course, FREEBIES.

for example, I get free samples of cosmetic products all the time, and my most recent favorite was a completely FREE full size shampoo and conditioner from Pantene.  And I wouldn't have gotten it if it weren't for Freebies2deals.  

So there you have it. 

 Friends tell friends about good deals.
