My Attempt at a Fall Photoshoot.....

The girls and I went out yesterday and just drove looking for fun places to stop and take pictures. We had so much fun! Here are a few shots from my amateur photoshoot....







Not a tough job at all when your subjects are so cute!!

Thursday's Menu: Buffalo.......

So you obviously know what comes to 4th grade Social Studies the week before Thanksgiving! Why the study of the Pilgrims & Indians, of course.
Hallie was beside herself yesterday as she danced, giggled, and announced........


"I can't wait until Thursday!" she joyfully exclaimed.
"Why?! I anxiously asked.
"Because we get to eat BUFFALO BALLS!" she said with uncontainable 4th grade pride.
"Whaaaa?" I nervously questioned.
"BUFFALO BALLS! You know B-U-F-F-A-L-O meat rolled into a B-A-L-L!" she spelled out ever so sarcastically, because good grief, what else could I be thinking!?
Hello!? Hence the name BUFFALO BALLS!

"OH! Buffalo Balls, of course...Yum, I wish I was in 4th grade!"
My question is.....when the teacher told them what Thursday's "palate-friendly" lesson would hold, how did she do that with a straight face?

ModgePodge Remodel...

Kellyskornerblog.com is hosting "Show Us Your Life" and today's featured room is the BATHROOM! Since I just redid the girl's bathroom last summer, I thought it would be fun to participate.

I always loved this bathroom, but the girls began to complain that it was a bit too "Blahhh"....I had to agree, so we decided to add some color! I took some "Blahh Before" pictures, before I went MODGEPODGE NUTS on the place.

Here are a couple of befores..
I know, Blahhhh! huh?

and here are some AFTERS....


This wall shelf needed its own little makeover...

So BEFORE:

and now AFTER: TA-DAAA!
The cabinets were for sure in need of some fabulous color....


and now I love me some BLUE cabinets!



I call this the ModgePodge Remodel, because after this bathroom redo, I should own stock in Hobby Lobby and it's ModgePodge aisle.
It was a messy project, but lots of fun!
Thanks for stopping by!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

Squirrely Kind of Love.......

Yesterday, while sitting in the car waiting for my oldest daughter to come out from a friend's house, I noticed Hallie sitting very still watching a squirrel scampering around in the yard. After a few moments of silent squirrel observation, she said, "Oh yea! Look at that little guy, he is DEFINITELY lookin' for a lady!"
Not real sure why she thought he looked like he was in need of a "lady"??
What I saw was a squirrel running around chasing his nuts....
(my apologies for the play on words, but seriously he was!)
I guess she saw something different.

The girls named her after Khloe Kardashian, of course!
