This is real life. The truth is, I'm not that great at it. But this is it, and it is my life. You want me to post pictures of what I wear every day? You'd have a collaboration of different yoga pants, and oversized t-shirts--some worn multiple days in a row {cringe}! You want to know my toddler lunch meal ideas? They often vary between dino nuggets, pb&j, or ravioli--but hey, at least it's the frozen kind and not Chef Boyardee...although that has made a few appearances! You want pictures of my home decor? Well my house is usually a mess. There are dishes in the sink and laundry to be put away. Most days, with my two crazy sidekicks calling the shots, I don't have time to shower, and rarely even do my hair {am I really admitting this in a public forum?!}! But this is life, and it is my life. And I'm lucky enough to get to share it with an amazing husband and the 3 cutest kids in the world, so no matter how you look it, I'm the luckiest!

Pumpkin Fairy

Back in October Megan and I took the kids to Gardner Village to show Melia the witches.  I love the way Gardner Village is decorated at Halloween time and I USED to love the shops, ESPECIALLY the awesome Christmas Shop but much to my chagrin, that shop is gone and has been replaced with a lame "holiday store"--so not even worth stopping in.  :(  At any rate, we still had fun seeing the witches and eating lunch at the yummy cafe.  Melia dressed up as a Pumpkin Fairy!  When I took her picture in front of the first witch on the bicycle, we gathered quite a crowd of onlookers.  At first I thought people were waiting for us to finish so they could take pictures, but then I realized they were actually all just gathered around to see how cute Melia was!  :)



 I had Melia sit next to this nice Witch who had her arm out.  After I lifted Melia up onto the bench she looked over at the witch (realizing the witch had her arm around her) and was TERRIFIED!  Here she is trying to get away.
 I finally convinced her it was a nice witch and that Evera was even willing to sit by her (and that she was just pretend) and she agreed to set for another second.  Evera was wearing his cute ghost shirt (but you cannot see it too well).  I think he looks so cute with his little hands under his chin while he snores away.  :)  Pretty sure I have the cutest kids in the world.
Happy Halloween in January!  :)
