 Homemade Scarecrow

     Being a working mom the weekend sometimes are the only time I have to catch up on anything. They can be so busy sometimes, I don't know where anything is ever. I don't have time to sit down and even relax. This weekend was like that. Friday was Halloween, during the day heavy and I ran all our errands and then after my daughter got home from school we had an hour to figure out her costume and get her ready. We ended up being our late to my brothers house but her costume is Hilmi pretty proud of it. Saturday was the anniversary of my husband's father's death so we decided we're going to stay busy all day. Normally helps him if we're busy to working through the day. He worked on homework, and I worked on cleaning the living room. I steam vac-ed the carpet. It looked amazing looks being the keyword. Because then on Sunday we decided we were going to paint our bedroom. Everything in our bedroom went out and into the nice clean living room. But with We painted entire living room bedroom on Sunday from a dark red to light blue. It looks awesome!! Then yesterday I cleaned out the oven and went to my moms and discuss the wedding. Came home got my daughter dinner and then went to her football game that she was singing it. Like I said it's been a long weekend here. What did you do this weekend?

Everyone wanted to help

     Today go back to work. My little one has a school so she'll be coming with me. Kids will be so excited because they love when they see her.

Today's goals

1. Work- I work from 8 AM until 6 PM. I'm not sure I might have all four kids say because of election day. We'll just have to see.
2. Cooking - I want to make the menu for the week. This week is going to be all home cooked cook meals. 
3. Workout- Today is workout day. I have to remember to bring an extra set of cloths so I can trade them out. 
4. Cleaning - stick to daily sure card today. I want to keep this house in order! 

     I'm only writing for goals four today,  because it's a work day and I'm not going to push myself way too hard. What are you doing today what are your goals? Are you gonna be home when the suns out and get in the garden? I'm going to miss the sun all day today by the time I get to work and I'll be up by the time I get home I'll be down. 

Workout Thursday

    Don't judge me to much for the pictures. I am trying to lose weight for the wedding! I weight 160+ for my brother wedding. I'm hoping to weight 120 or lower for my wedding. Now before anyone says anything 110-120 is perfect weight for my size. I'm only 5'1''.

    I am using Trim and Healthy Mama. I love this deit. I can eat and eat well. The food I eat is really. I have 2-3 eggs for breakfast, chicken salad for lunch, then a protein shake (blueberry, yogurt, and protein powder), and then chicken stuff with mushrooms, and spaghetti squash with mushroom sauce. Mmmm

     I am using Pact to help me focus on staying on tract. You make a pact to work out x amount of days. Then if you don't do it you pay $5 per day you miss. If you don't you can make a little money. I help me stay focus, because I hate wasting money. 

     I have been using slim 6 for about a month. Okay I'm not great at working out and today was the frist week I worked out 4 days in a row. So don't judge me to much on not losing it as fast as she is. 

      

Gardening - Trying to save what left of this gardening year

A picture out of my gardening book

     I have been so off lately. The wedding and family drama has just messed me up. I am a working mom and work about 35 hours a week out of the house. Some times maintaining my garden goes to the back burner. That is what happen this year. 

     I was off to a good start, but the long winter, two wedding and hubby being out  of town for 6 weeks just throw me off. It happens. I'm not perfect. 

     Even though it is late in the season and not much will grow will I can get a little planted for the winter garden. I can also get my garden beds ready for the spring. 

     One thing I tell everyone is there is always next year and you can try again.     That's what I'm going to do. 

     Now I will start to figure out my winter garden and post what I plan to do. This garden might not be prefect because I have never grown anything in the winter. 

Stick with my and this new adventure! 

Happy Halloween - Scary Movie Night

   

"Carrie" movie

      One thing my family loves to do is watch scary movies!! So we decided to have a scary movie bonfire night. It was so much fun to curl up on the swing chair and just sit and relax and watch Carrie. 

Mmm some popcorn!!

    My little one decided she wanted to watch their original Carrie movie. We pop some popcorn, made some warm apple cider, and had a bonfire. It was a such a fun night. 

Fire and apple cider make it all worth it!! 

    Have you ever done a movie outside? What fun and spooky things are you doing to get ready for Halloween?

Happy Halloween - Carving Pumpkins!!

     I might be the worlds worst pumpkin carver!! But I think the experience of carving your pumpkin by yourself is more important!!

Little man picked a perfect pumpkin to carve! 

     The boys and I started with an awesome pumpkin hubby got for us!! One of the little guys picked out this one. This side of pumpkin is awesome, the other side isn't.  

Little ones did touch it, but they didn't like it. 

     We started as I cut open the Pumpkin with the regular knife. Then started to take the insides out. The boys were not too fond of the inside of the pumpkin. We did set aside some seats to save the garden next year and some the toast up to have for snack. 

He came out okay looking! 

     I don't think he turned out to bad! We decided to make triangles for the eyes and a square for the nose. Even though I wouldn't win a contest the boys had so much fun! 

     Did you carve pumpkins this year? If so text and pictures I would love to see him!
