Our Halloween fun 2012

Whew- It's been a busy few weeks around here! - (such as the Mom Mayhem life ;) some things have not been so fun like Dr's visits and calling the plumber out -but, there's also been fun times too- Like during fall break a couple of weeks ago we had some out of town guests to entertain and pretty good weather so, it was a perfect time to go out and about -We went to Oktoberfest, The zoo, and of course the pumpkin patch:

 

Then this past weekend it was time to carve/decorate the pumpkins -we were so busy we did a simple carving and the kids painted their little pumpkins:

 

 

And then of course last night it was Halloween! My son has been going through the Avenger costumes the past few years -he's been Iron Man, Thor, and this year he was the Hulk. My daughter went as a witch:

 

We had a fun time going out around the neighborhood trick or treating:

 

 

Oh and I should also mention that my son was in the assembly at school yesterday for being 1 of the students of the month!

 

(They had their costume day last friday at school)  So, we had a fun and busy Halloween - Hope you had a good one too!

The Friday Five

Here the weather is getting cold- You can just feel the fall crispness in the air. Fall -it's a great time of the year! Which brings me to today's Friday Five... 5 things we've done to get ready for fall here:

1. Since the weather has been pretty cold into the 40's-50's- Brrr! I pulled out some of the winter clothes.

2. Of course cooler weather means some great fall food like -We've recently made Chili

3. And I've made some Chicken Tortilla Soup -twice now -Yumm!

4. Getting ready to go to some Fall attractions - Hopefully going to the Fair this weekend!

5. And although we haven't gotten out all our Halloween decorations yet -there's that too and of course going to get a pumpkin soon. Which by the way for anyone that reads this and is near Tulsa -I made a list of local pumpkin patches -etc. on 1 of my Examiner articles HERE and I plan to have more Halloween articles out soon :)

So, that's it for today's Friday Five -Hope everyone has a good weekend!

The Friday Five

The fall season of TV is here ! There's so many shows I want to watch! I almost always record them and watch when I can -I can be behind a lot =P But, here's 5 shows I will be trying to catch up on that have started their new season or soon will:

1. You know I love the Reality shows! ;) So gotta have Survivor -I've actually been keeping up with these so far -Urgh! That Russell!

2. So Thursday is a big night! Not only is there Survivor there's also Grey's Anatomy(I haven't watched it yet):

3. Also on Thursday is of course- The Office! (I haven't watched these yet either though):

4. After The Office is a new show- Community. I watched the 1st episode and it was pretty funny (Gotta love Joel McHale) so, it's one of the only "new" shows I'll try to squeeze in:

5. Even though it hasn't started the new season yet, It soon will! -Desperate Housewives:

So there you have today's Friday Five! So many good TV shows on -So, little time. Hopefully I can catch up some this weekend. Hope you have a good weekend too- Until next time :)
