Great Pumpkins Batman!





Happy ... Tuesday! :) No i don't "Celebrate" halloween, it isnt a day or reason i care to "celebrate" BUT, i DO love seasons and festivities, and being in dressup. So, we carved a great big lovely pumpkin yesterday, My first time doing that actually, it was alot of fun, Grant LOVED the " 'cooping out the ucky messy yuck" part the best :)

My hubby's family has always celebrated Halloween, this is my last year not making a stink about it, my kids are still kinda young to go out and trick or treat, so i will dress them in thier costumes we got for our annual "Creation Celebration" at church, and they will go see MaMaw and hand out candy to the neighborhood ghouls. Next year *groan* Next year i must say, No, we do not trick or treat, BUT we will still come over dress up and give out treats. After all, we can learn lessons from the Joy of giving :)
Our Party at church was a blast, I dressed the part of Princess, after all, I am ALWAYS a princess, but on sunday i dressed the part :) We turn our entire Church building into a Carnival of various games and face painting and food and candy and prizes, we invite everyone and anyone who wants to come play games and eat sweets. Only restriction is no scary costumes, but other than that, wear what you like :) It is fun every year, and this year i took hom the decorative pumpkins. Hence George, the face :) and then i cooked up the other two, took me all day to cut up cook and mash the things :P I also roasted the seeds, and made creamy pumpkin soup fr dinner, YUMMEH!
Grant Told me i HAD to make the pumpkin scary, who ever heard of a silly pumpkin :P
He also tried to imitate the face LOL thats this last pic, isnt he a darling? heeheheheee so today, i must freeze all the orange mush, bake some yummy pumpkin treats and .... hope to GOURD i never see another pumpkin in all my life :D

Update

Well, life got crazy for everyone. Updating a hair blog didn’t seem very important, but as we stand and look forward at what is sure to be an even more bizarre year end, I find the need to be thinking about something frivolous and fun. I’ve had some serious health issues lately that are still working themselves out, so I really just needed a pick me up. Who doesn’t? So here are some pics, my hair is crazy curly these days, and recently I even cut it, by myself, after doing some online reading about how to do it, and I LOVE my hair right now! It’s so bouncy and light and off my neck!  My last hair appointment before the quarantine shut down.  Got pneumonia had to go to ER for Covid tests and all the fun stuff. Thankfully it was quickly fixed with antibiotics  I am trying to grow out my grey and embrace the “sparkle” but, it’s hard without a good colorist, or cut, so I made it through the shut down with manic panic ultra violet. 🤷🏻‍♀️😂 4th of July, didn’t go anywhere of ...

Why my phone is part of my life......

Yup, I admit it, I am one of those. One of those people who cannot put down my phone. I am one who needs to be told "it's not phone time now" or "we are doing real time here, face to face, no phone" I used to deny it, (sometimes I still do) I used to feel bad about it, (sometimes I still do), but you know what? Deep down, the real me, the rational me, says, 'Yup, thats me, and that's ok!" You want to know why? I am an introvert, through and through. I have anxiety and battle depression. It's part of who I am and knit into me, and I will be dealing with it my entire life. The Deal here is, find ways to live a meaningful life around all that. This is where my phone comes into play. I am not ant-social, I love hanging with my BFFs as much as the next guy, but I don't have that many really, I don't have a need to gather a whole gaggle of besties to surround me at all times, I like to have a few solids, that I can go to, no matter what...
