Happy Holy-ween

Here is a "spoiler alert" to tonight!  We had our Halloween dress rehearsal last weekend at the Clubhouse.....  So without further delay- I give you-

*****

My G.I Joey mini me

*****

My I dream of Geni wanta be

*****

My hottie hubby {after gentle persuasion} went as the Mad Hatter.

*****

I dressed up in Pirate garb :)

*****

They we had a ball.  We ALL won prizes and Prissy embraced false eyelashes like a champ.  She can't wait to wear them to ballet tonight then trick-or-treating :()  I have no words...

*****

He just makes me wanna squeeze him... and I frequently do!

*****

He & I made cupcakes for his class last night...

*****

He was a big helper and is gonna make some woman very happy one day!

*****

And I know this because he makes me happy daily.  Especially when he asks me to make "special things to put on top of them please m'am."  I bolted to my sewing/work room to only to find these beauties from last year.  $0.30  SCORE!!!  They became just what he wanted.  And it was my pleasure!!!

HAVE FUN TONIGHT!!

Good things...

True to "Harris form" we have been crazy busy this month.  Prissy has ballet/rehearsals 5 DAYS A WEEK.  The A-man has basketball 2 days... That pretty much sums up our free time :)  But..  I wouldn't trade these days for anything in the world.  And being in town EVERYDAY leaves room for treasure hunting...

*****

I found this guy... kinda quirky, kinda scary but he's a keeper!

*****

And I shopped the house to re-style the living room.  SO FUN to do but it takes me an hour to move anything {I guess that's cause I'm an amateur}.  And I finally found a glass topped coffee table for the living room... I so want to see Gerdie {my cowhide} but wanted to spend less than $50.  Hello Friday morning tag sales!!

*****

I helped out with the SCCS Fall Festival- which was amazing!!  We had a total blast..

*****

And yes.... clown noses were sorta the "thing"

*****

I finally got my long awaited monogram from Southern Proper {wanted one last year but they were on back order}.  It's LOVE!!!!!

*****

But... as busy as I have been....  I think for the first time in a VERY long time.  I'm trying to make my husband a priority over... the house, the extras, ballet, basketball, and many other things.  After all I am called to be his "helpmate" and that means making him feel like he matters to me!

"Will you?"

Though you slay me - still I will praise you. 
Though you take from me - I will bless your name. 
Though you ruin me - I will sing a song of worship
To the One who is all I need.

1 year ago today my friend lost her mom.   People all over the world go through things....  Horribly things. Unimaginable things.  I will too.  I pray I cling to the one who will never leave me when I do.  The one who is all I need.  Will you?

thought of you...

I love this.  Thought you might too :)

{flying by...}

Oh my goodness gracious... I cannot believe that it has been nearly a month since I sat down to chat...  But the month FLEW!  First we had the stomach bug {boo}, then we went back home to IN for a visit {SO FUN}, then our Internet was out for 2 weeks {I have no comment about that!}.  Lately.... A-man is OBSESSED with Spaghetti squash. I like that about him.  

*****

Currently I am sorting through pics on my camera {which I sadly always forget these days} to try to catch y'all up on us...  The kiddos had "career day".  One was a little MORE excited about the camera than the other :)  He was an "Expert Lego Builder" {he has stayed firm about his career choice for 3 years running}.  She was a "Ballet teacher" {she waffles on that an a fashion designer daily, but liked her tutu so it won out in the end}.

*****

When we got home from our travels- we found that we had been "Spooked".  So... we got out goodies together & went  "SpOoKiNg" ourselves in the neighborhood.  It really is one of our favorite traditions!!

*****

I found some huge bird prints that made my heart swoon {I know y'all think I have lost my mind.  First a cowhide now birds??  I'm quirky what can I say..}  But they were water damaged {hence there price tag} & they needed an updated mat... I adore them!  

*****

  I took countless loads to donate on break.... It is so freeing to purge!!   But my obsession with house plants is being fueled by my green-thumbed precious neighbor who drops these frilly little green things at my door.

*****

A-man is still on "fall-break-time" clearly....  Prissy has been asleep over an hour.  He had his 1st basketball game last Saturday {I had to work- boo}. But I cleaned his tennis shoes, pressed his uniform, & made snacks for the team Friday night- he he.  They {and by that I mean Joey, Prissy, & the A-man} were instructed to call me ASAP after the game.... He called.  He said "Momma I had the best time... and I didn't miss any shots!'.  I teared up.  Later I found out he didn't take any shots either :)  I {heart} him!!

*****

Oh and one of my very favorite things is this little clever addition to our laundry closet.  Joey's Aunt Gerl Dean did this to her closet to hang dry clothes.  GENIUS!!!  That's pretty much it with us.  And now I'm off to fill it up :)
