Halloween Wreath

Halloween is just around the corner.
Are you getting excited?!
I am not a huge fan of Halloween, although I do enjoy the costumes and candy.
Just not a fan of the darkness or gore.

When I was little I would hide on my roof with my brothers and spook parents using sticks,
or hide in the car and pop out in the window with a mask.
The parents would get so freaked,
they never suspect leaning against the car waiting for their kids.

Well this year I decided to finally make a Halloween wreath and absolutely love it!



Made from cupcake liners and contact paper.
I used a hot glue gun for the cupcake liners and let the glue pull after each one to make it look like cobwebs.
then I cut out bats, glued them onto skewers, and stuck them into the wreath.
(This way I can reuse the white for other holidays.)

What are you going to be for Halloween this year?
My costume to come. Stay tuned.

Happening Upon A Rainstorm

Tonight I went for a little bike ride with my family.
I love bike rides.
We went to the dollar store, which was a good distance away.
On the way I remembered that I forgot my wallet. Luckily I had something to return to a near by store and they gave me cash back!
Hooray for having $6.43 to spend at the dollar store.
Guess what my total came to?
$6.30
whoop whoop!
Then on the way home it started to pour.
My hubby was a little worried about our daughter but I was ecstatic!
"I'm riding in the rain! Just riding in the rain!"
That is me singing to the tune of singing in the rain.
So fun!
It even started to hail a little.
The best adventure of the day.
When I got home my daughter and I took a hot bath together.
Lovely memories.
