Happy November!

I won't be online a ton this week, since I'll be hard at work painting a set. But I wanted to check in with you all and see how your Halloweens were and what you're up to this week!

Halloween was a bit of a bust kid-wise. We still had half of our candy leftover. I think about 20 kids stopped by in total? Which is a bit of a bummer, I love seeing the littles in their costumes.

Not up to much this week. DEFINITELY ready for Thanksgiving. It's my fave holiday and I wanna cook up a storm.

We had a light turnout of trick or treaters too. Luckily I bought candy that DH and I like!

I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving too. We're flying home, and we'll get to see both families plus a bunch of our friends. And I'll get to meet my BFF's baby!

Hey ladies! I'm so sorry I haven't been around much again! I'm really going to try harder to stop by at least once a week for the check-ins!!

Halloween went pretty well but also light on the kids - we had about 15. We usually go all out on the decor so that's been fun! Been grazing the leftover candy everyday since then

Some of you guys may remember we're renovating our rental property and all that's left to do is to finish hanging the siding! That's been kicking my butt lately as well. Since we're working on it only on the weekends and when whether permits, it's taken a little longer than expected.

We are also very much looking forward to thanksgiving!!! What's on the menu persianmaman?! And have a safe trip home bonzo2012!

Have a great week ladies!!

bonzo2012, meeting babies is the best! Have fun!

agpjt413, renovating is a paaaaain. Glad you just have on the one thing left. I can't remember where you live - are your winters mild so that it's easier to do when it gets a bit colder? We wanna reno our bathroom but I'm a little afraid of doing it mid-winter and having turn off the heat to work on some of the electrics.

I am cooking NOTHING actually. ;_; Maybe I'll get to. We're visiting DH's family up in VT for the first time in like... gosh, nine years? Maybe eight. It's cold up there and I have no idea if I'll be allowed to cook anything. Maybe I can convince my friends to do a potluck the weekend before at our place.

Thanks persianmaman!! We live in central VA where winters can get cold, but luckily not brutal. As for your bath reno, I agree to warmer weather before tackling that as well VT sounds like a lot of fun!! I haven't been up that way since I was in Jr HS but I remember it being just absolutely gorgeous up there.
