Preparation for Halloween

Toby wanted to have a practice run with his Halloween costume and practice his "trick or treat" on his Nana. Thankfully, she gave him a treat, otherwise he may have given her a trick that she wouldn't have liked.

Ceramic Heater

I recently bought a new ceramic heater. It has two settings, automatically turns off when the air reaches a certain temperature. The heater also oscillates from side to side and has a remote control to change the settings. Here is Toby relaxing near the new ceramic heater, but he didn't stay there for too long because I think he got too hot.

Canna

My yellow Canna finally decided to bloom. It was a nice pleasant surprise to have a flower blooming in October though. Hard to believe that it is October already, and Thanksgiving and Christmas are just around the corner!

NC Zoo

Happy 10/10/10!
To enjoy the beautiful weather yesterday, I went to the NC Zoo. The zoo consists of two areas, Africa and North America. The Africa section consists of the typical African animals and the North American side consists of the animals we find here in our country. The zoo is very widespread and has about 5 miles of pathways. Needless to say, there was a lot of walking involved, but it was a fun day.

Cookies from Scratch

Yummy, I made cookies from scratch. These cookies have Craisins, oatmeal, white chocolate chips, and the other normal cookie ingredients. The first day they were good, but the second day these cookies were amazing. It is fun making things from scratch and not from a mix.

Waterproof Shoes

I bought some rain boots, so now, I will be ready for the next rain storm AND be fashionable. Aren't they soooo cute? Watch, now it won't rain for a long time since I have cute rain boots.

Fall Decorations

My townhouse is now ready for fall. I have lots of mums and impatiens/vincas planted along my flower bed border. They are so pretty and have already grown a bunch; the blooms are visible from the road! Last night, I put up my 2 scarecrows and my little witch to add some fall spirit to the door. I love having a place to decorate!

Time for Fall clothes!

It is that time again, time to break out the fall weather clothes. I recently purchased this outfit, but I was finally able to wear it this weekend. While I love the summer, I am ready for the cooler weather to get here. Halloween is just around the corner!

Baby shower for my cousin!

My younger cousin Isaac and his wife Shandle are the soon to be parents of a little baby girl. Zoe is scheduled to be born in mid November, and we are so excited. Our family threw her a baby shower this past weekend, and it was a blast. She got so many great gifts and they should be ready for baby Zoe's arrival. Here are a couple of pictures from the party.
