Hallows Eve

10.31.12

We've gotten into the habit of joining our sister and brother in-law at their house for Halloween. We had a nice time this evening around the fire pit.

Yup

10.30.12

New leopard print flats from Angela and Elkins for my birthday!

Ice Cream

10.29.12

It's a good night for ice cream and hurricane coverage. 

Birthday Folks

10.28.12

If you are a regular follower you are probably thinking, "Man, do the birthdays ever end in that clan?" And the answer is, no! Today we celebrated Dad and Jennifer's birthday along with my own.

Gangsta Style

10.27.12

Today we helped celebrate the marriage of Rebecca Setzer, our family friend. Cigars were in order. Check out some of our guys with their gangster style cigs. ;)

Crayons

10.26.12

There's only one thing this picture could mean... Halloween party day at school! We have a fun time dressing up with the kiddos.

Ohhhh...it begins!

10.25.12

In years past I would have been done and done with holiday shopping by now. I married into a large family though and so that's just not possible anymore! I've officially begun though. Looking forward to black Friday to finish it up.

Halloween Treat

10.24.12

Look at this sweet halloweeny treat from my administrators! I appreciate that they take the time to do the little things to let us know we are appreciated! 

My Toolness

10.23.12

I love having Pandora radio at the tip of my fingertips! Best invention ever and it's free!! 

Annual Koenig Lovett Punkin Carvin Extraveganza

10.22.12

A few years back we started an annual tradition with my in-laws - punkin carving! We got together tonight to continue it for another year.

Shades...

10.21.12

I started a new book this afternoon. NOT the Shades of Grey you may have heard of though! Brian is enjoying Jasper Fforde. What's better than discovering a new author? Not much...

No Obligations

10.20.12

This is our first no-obligations weekend since BEFORE school started. School started on 8-14 so this relaxed weekend is way overdue. We bummed around the mall for a bit today which was fun. 

Some Cards Action

10.19.12

We hung out at Hotshots this evening to watch the Cardinals game with some other fans. Unfortunately we did not win though!

New Music!

10.18.12

I finally figured out after a year with my iphone how to take a screen shot. This is my new favorite band. They are an indie pop band from the UK. I dig this whole album!

Lazy Night

10.17.12

I had a lazy night tonight. Huxley was lazy with me. I figure, this must be what it's like for most people who don't have jobs they bring home with them. It'd be nice to be able to just clock out sometimes.

In The Clouds

10.16.12

I love when the kids start making great things that I can hang up at school. I love having my walls covered with student work! This afternoon I hung up some venn diagrams and clouds my kiddos made during our Science lessons.

The Red Stuff

10.15.12

This is my favorite sauce in the whole wide world.

Happiness

10.14.12

Enough said.

Orange

10.13.12

This gorgeous tree is right near my school. We went by today for the annual fall festival and chili cook-off. I couldn't resist snapping a picture of this glorious fall orange.

Cash Money

10.12.12

One of my favorite things to do is take in change and make it turn into cash. It had been well over a year since we did this and so today I went to the bank. It was not a lot but enough for a date night of course!

Lucky Day

10.11.12

Granted it doesn't take much to excite me but I had a lucky sort of day. In addition to getting a free coke from the coke guy, when I got home from work I got this sweet front row parking spot. Woot.

Yes!

10.10.12

Look at the gorgeous fall foliage I found on the way to work.

Hydrate

10.9.12

I am so thankful for clean drinking water today. I love to put it in the fridge and drink it COLD. I realize there are countless people who don't enjoy this simple pleasure. I get so thirsty at school - as I can't go to the bathroom so I can't drink liquid either! By the time I get home in the evening I can't get enough of this stuff.

First Official Frost

10.8.12

This here is the ice that had accumulated on my car window this morning! Thankfully it wasn't enough to have to scrape. I just hung out inside blasting the defrost until it melted. It certainly tells us that fall has arrived. I'm all for it. I love this kind of weather!

New Recipe

10.7.12

I'm preparing for company tomorrow evening and figured I needed to bake something. I tried a new recipe tonight from one of my favorite cookbooks. They are strawberry bars. They look and smell amazing! I love when I find some time to bake.

Dog Play

10.6.12

This is my cousin and his sweet dog, Cooper. We visited with them this evening watching the Mizzou game and eating some yummy food. 

WOOT

10.5.12

When I was in KC last weekend I randomly had some mail from an old Dr.'s office. Inside was a check for $30.00. Can't beat that sort of surprise. 

Favorite Season

10.4.12

Fall is definitely my favorite season. I love the cool, crisp weather, the spicy smells and the gorgeous colors. I've got my mum and punkin out front.

Office

10.3.12

For my birthday, one of my friends gave me the Office board game. Of course we love board games and the Office has historically been one of our favorite shows. The best of both worlds. Thanks, Jen!

Soup!

10.2.12

Today was the perfect day for soup. It was a cool sort of day and I was home with a pounding headache. Tis the season to eat soup!

Monopoly Time!

10.1.12

I LOVE this time of year! This sort of goes along with my sweepstakes obsession but I really get into the Monopoly game at McDonalds. Of course every year I am SO close to winning big. One of these years it's going to happen for me.
