It's also been REALLY difficult to get my head in the game when I am just a few short weeks away from Thanksgiving, Christmas vacation, and maternity leave!
I'm happy to have a few moments to return to my blog for now though and look forward to the holidays and maternity leave, where I will hopefully be able to post more often.
One. Zoey. We happened upon the Frisco Arts Walk one weekend in early October and Zoey's whole 2.5 years of life was made when she ran into Anna and Elsa. She still talks about it.
She also dressed as Elsa for Halloween and enjoyed her first trick or treating experience at Trick or Treat the Square in Frisco.
Two. Halloween. Speaking of Halloween, this year we found an 80 pack of Play-Doh at Costco back in August and purchased it for our Trick-or-Treaters at home. I have to say, even the middle schoolers were psyched to get Play-Doh over candy. We will definitely be doing this again next year! #TealPumpkinProject
I also put together treat bags for Zoey's Halloween party. It took me two years, but I finally caught on to the untold treat bag thing Zoey's classroom seems to do at holidays. I was proud of myself. If you can't tell, we don't do candy in this house...Halloween is tricky.
Three. Pantry. It's been over 2 years since I last organized our pantry! I finally got brave and tackled that one weekend in September. My genius husband took it to the next level by installing some lighting in the darkness of our pantry. Glorious.
Four. Weekends. I live for the weekends with my family. Nothing better than cooler (slightly) weather, college football, and precious time with my little family.
Five. School. As luck would have it, our annual flu clinic occurred during my third trimester, which meant I was able to get my flu and TDAP shots knocked out in one go, on the clock, fo' free!!
I also had the pleasure of making my favorite recovery meal for a coworker. It beats the casserole and it's so easy to prepare. Seasoned taco meat {my taco seasoning recipe}, diced tomatoes, chopped onions, shredded lettuce, cheese, sour cream, soft and crispy shells, refried beans, Mexican rice, chips, salsa, and a little dessert!
Six. Nursery. At 31 weeks pregnant, we are finally starting Luke's nursery. We've been moving and consolidating our guest rooms - which, of course, entails some renovation (removal of "decorative" shelves surrounding the room, addition of a ceiling fan, and paint (the very last room of the house not painted by us!)). Luckily the nursery is already painted and ready to be Harry Potter-fied as soon as the guest room furniture is moved out! I AM SO EXCITED.
My Sooners are about to wrap up a sloppy win against Iowa State tonight. I am looking forward to wrapping up my Friday by chaperoning a sixth grade dance and then heading out later this weekend for a little solo time with Chris to see Doctor Strange.
That's it for this week! Have a fabulous weekend!
