It’s a crazy-good time!

So…  I’ve been a single mom for the past week or so, gives me a whole new respect for the moms that are handling life on their own on a normal basis!  Only a few more days, though, and I’m ready!

I love to bake.  I mean, LOVE to bake- something about taking all the seemingly-random ingredients and combining them to make something warm and yummy and usually chocolately- it’s therapy to me!  One thing I can’t seem to get the hang of, though, is anything with yeast!  And I’m a total bread fanatic, I just can’t seem to get the hang of using yeast.  I found a mix yesterday at the store that seemed promising, though, so I thought I’d try it.  Screwed it up.  Only I can screw up a box of mix!  It didn’t rise a bit, but it’s still yummy!  Guess I’ll stick to cookies!

I know it’s early, but I’m gearing up for Halloween!!  It’s one of my favorite holidays, such fun picking out costumes and watching spooky shows and hello- anytime you get candy is a good time!  Andy is too old and Alec and Kate pick out their own costumes now, but I get to pick out Mallory’s and I’m getting my creativity ready for this year now!  Here are a few contenders (not really!!):

No, there’s no way those are an option, but how funny!

So this happened…

My first ticket in many years of driving!  Ready for what it’s for??  Using my cell phone in a school zone!  Really?  I NEVER talk on my phone!  How crazy is it that the one time in weeks I’m actually talking on my phone I forget and use it on the way to get Andy from school!  UGH- $170 I would have liked to spend on anything but this!

So here are some random pictures of the kidlets this past week, look how cute they are!

That’s it for now, hope y’all have a great week!
