This Is Us

  As I shared in  this post  my sister is getting married. I painted my nails and this post is for my toes. I painted them the same way, all of them black, then put this  purple metallic nail powder  on my big toe. Then I put the regular top coat on and the matte top coat on all the rest of my toes that are black. I really like how they turned out! Now I’m all matching for their wedding!

  My sister Jess is getting married to a wonderful man, Brian. We will be going to Reno, Nevada for their wedding. They decided on elegant Halloween colors. I am one of her bridesmaids and my dress is a dark purple/plum color. So for my nails I painted all of them black and then put this  purple metallic nail powder  on my ring fingers. I then put the regular top coat over the metallic purple and the matte top coat on the rest of my fingers (that I left black). I really like how they turned out, so hopefully they stay good for the wedding! I also painted my toes to match.  Painted Toes

  I am making my kids Halloween lunches again this year.  Last year we started making our kids  Home School Lunches .  Last year for Halloween I made them  Fun Halloween Lunches .  This year they have new lunchboxes and we can add more to them.  Here is one of the lunches I made this year for fun Halloween.

  Here is our little family Halloween Party this year.   I made mummy dogs (hot dogs in crescent rolls) that I make every year, zombie mac & cheese (regular mac & cheese dyed green), and little bags of chips. We got drinks from the gas station, which we do almost every night. I bought Halloween plates, dessert plates, and napkins. Zain wore Xander's inflatable dinosaur costume, Lydia was Jasmine (except when we went trick-or-treating she wore Xander's inflatable bull rider costume), and Tyler was a police officer. Brichette and Sam joined us (Sam is wearing the white wig). Xander went with his friends to a party. I felt like I was running around all day and hardly got anything done.  It was a crazy night! It got dark before I could get individual pictures of them in their costumes, so I took them the next day.  Although Zain wouldn't let me take it, so there's that!

  This year we have been making our kids school lunches. You can find our list of lunch ideas  In This Post .  Here is a fun lunch for Halloween. I gave them mini bagels with pumpkin cream cheese, cut up strawberries, and Halloween shaped pretzels.

  We made these Hocus Pocus Halloween signs to sell in our  Etsy Store .  Nick bent the metal and drilled holes, and I put the vinyl on and tied the string on. What do you think? I added the string later…

  With it being close to Halloween, I thought this was so neat and wanted to share. There is a big spider, a cat spider, that made this beautiful web on our chicken coop. I don't really like spiders, but as long as they stay outside and don't come in our home, I leave them alone. If you'd like to see our chicken coop it's in  this post .

  Tonight for movie night instead of making my mini sourdough pizzas round I shaped them like pumpkins. Here is my  Recipe For Sourdough Mini Pizzas When Jeff (my cousin who is more like my brother), his wife Abbie ( Here  are their wedding photos that I took), and Jeff's boys come over for movie night, we have so much fun that I don't usually get a lot of photos.  Tonight was no exception... I only got these three photos. haha We watched the new Hocus Pocus 2.  It was really good and I enjoyed it.  However, the first one will always be my favorite!

  Today Nick put up or new Halloween lawn decorations.   We got an inflatable Hocus Pocus Sanderson Sister's and Gizmo (the Mogwai from Gremlins). They are so cute!
