I Love These Ladies

This made me laugh and laugh and laugh!!! Oh, how I love Kellie Pickler and Ellen. Check out this hilarious clip of Kellie dressed up as Dolly Parton on Ellen's Halloween show today. Too Funny!

Rain, Rain, Go Away!!!

Don't bother coming back another day! I think its rained every day this week, and I'm really getting sick of it. How am I supposed to make the hubby rake leaves if they're all wet and soggy? Hopefully it will be dry for a couple days in the near future, so I can crack my whip and get him moving..LOL! I'm sure I'll pay for that comment later if he reads it..lol!

I'm also hoping it dries up by the weekend for Halloween. It could warm up a little too, but that might be asking a little too much. So I'll just be happy with it being dry.

We carved pumpkins a couple nights ago...I think everyone had fun. I ended up doing a moon and a couple bats. I went for something a little simple this year...I think it looks pretty good though still. Kaitlin had a lot of fun. At first, she didn't want anything to do with the pumpkin gut removal, but by the end she was all over it...lol! She was scooping like a pro...if there was such a thing..LOL! I'll post pics of all our Halloween activities after Halloween is over and I get pics of the kids dressed in their costumes. So look for those sometime this weekend.....

That's if I don't melt from all the rain......cause you know I would melt...cause I'm pure sugar..hahahahaha....................yeah right...

Happy Birthday!

Today is good day....Today is the day Ryan Reynolds was born...let's just take a moment of silence to fully appreciate that and take it all in...................................................ok...I think that's good. This is really just a shameless excuse to post his pic again....mmm...isn't he yummy! lol! Happy Birthday Ryan Reynolds!!!!!!!!

Boo!!!

Did I scare you? lol! Well, Halloween is around the corner! I'm so excited, its probably my favorite holiday. I love the decorations, the costumes, trick or treating, the CANDY...LOL! It's all fun. Oh and the pumpkin carving! I love carving pumpkins. I usually try to do something a little creative with mine. I've done skeletons, Frankenstein, cats...all sorts of stuff. I love watching my daughter do her pumpkin, she sits down for quite a while just thinking about what she's going to do, takes a while to draw it on...and it's usually only the typical Jack o'lantern face...its too cute..lol!

This year Kaitlin is going as a princess again. She even wants to wear her costume from last year, which is fine with me...less money I have to spend..lol! I'm not sure what Cameron is going as yet. I'm thinking maybe a puppy since he is very into puppies right now... he loves dogs...well animals period. He's my little animal lover. He spends hours playing with our dog...they are inseparable.

Tomorrow I'm going to clean the house and then when dd gets home from school, we'll decorate! First we are stopping by the store to pick up pumpkins though. She's excited about that..lol! Tomorrow should be a fun day...for both of us..lol!

Check These Out.....

Aren't they cool? I made these for my daughter to take to school for her birthday. I knew I wanted to make cupcakes, but I also knew I wanted to jazz them up a little bit. So I googled cupcakes and happened to find these. It's really easy to do.

You just make the cake mix like usual. Divide the batter by however many colors you are going to use. I did 4 colors and it was a little over a cup for each color. Then you add your food coloring. You have to use gel food coloring though.....to get the vibrant colors. Wilton makes it and you can find it at Walmart or Michael's in the cake decorating section...I even found it at my local grocery store, and I live in a very small town...lol! I used a 1/4 tsp of coloring for each color. Then you just layer each color in the cupcake liner, and bake as usual...its very easy...and Oh so cute!!!!!

The cupcake in this picture has hardly any frosting on it...it was for my 2 year old....and it was also 8:00 at night..lol! The ones I frosted later had a generous amount of frosting on them...lol! I thought they turned out pretty cute though.......
