Halloween Party

We went to a friend's fun Halloween party with some friends. They had lots of fun. 

This year, Lizzy is going as a pink fairy. She even got pink eye lashes and a pink light up wig. We teased her that she's going to get an electrical failure and go up like Big Tex. I just don't understand why my children are so paranoid.

Katie is her favorite singer, Taylor Swift. We could always find her because she leaves a trail of glitter every where she goes. 

Our neighbor was a zombie indian.  

And our other neighbor was the Mad Hatter.

Women of Faith

Thanks to my wonderful friend, she again got tickets for everyone to join her in her suites to go to Women of  Faith Dallas. We had such a great time with friends and amazing music and speakers! Cece Winans and Selah performed the music, and speakers included Sheila Walsh, Selah's lead singer's wife, and a football player's wife. 

 Cece Winans

Loved the cell phones. Looked so pretty!

Mops Price is Right

At our last MOPS meeting, we played price is right. It was lots of fun. The girls who were planning it, did an amazing job. I got called up and then languished on contestents row because I don't know what anything costs.

Service project

Today, we went to the nursing home with MOPS where we distributed socks we had been collecting. They loved the kids and socks were great because they all said they are always missing socks. 

Gingerbread Houses

Last week we held our annual gingerbread house decorating party. Since the kids weren't home to enjoy making the houses with me this year, I decided to take the lazy way and buy pre-made ones. They didn't smell as good, but they looked prettier. Everyone had lots of sticky fun!

Twilight

Last night, a couple of friends and I went to see the midnight showing of Breaking Dawn. First we met at Romano's for dinner, and then headed over to the theatre to claim our seats and enjoyed chit-chatting through the three hour wait. The movie was fun. Yes, we were the pathetic group of 30 somethings surrounded by teenagers. The girl in front of us was working on math homework! We finally made it home around 3am, the latest I've been out in awhile. It was so much fun, and I hope to do it again next year!

First MOPS Meeting

Wednesday, we had our first MOPS meeting of the year! We had so much fun and it was good to see my friends again. This year my good friends took over as coordinators and I joined the hospitality team, in charge of decorations and greeting new people. We had 7 new people at our meeting which was exciting!

Tuesday night Over the summer, we worked on the table centerpiece boxes and I think they turned out totally cute. You may notice that our theme this year is games.

We played Mommy Feud and Minute to Win It. The ladies really worked hard to set up some fun games.

Please keep our MOPS group in your prayers this year. Due to cutbacks at our church we have lost our childcare funding and have to come up with $300 per meeting to pay for childcare. (We can't take turns due to the child protection policy). MOPS is such a great outreach ministry to moms who need friendship. All of my best friends were made there and I still remember when my kids were tiny and that was my only social outlet. It is a great program for our community!!!

MOPS BBQ

Last night, we had our fifth annual Mops family BBQ. We had a great time with our friends!

 

Bridal Shower

Today, my friend and I put on a bridal shower for another friend who is getting married later this month. We had a fun luncheon, and some games. 

I got another use out of my cupcake stand.

The one who could get the most cotton balls on their head with a spoon won a prize.

I designed this gorgeous toilet paper dress.

But lost to this one.

Here are some more pictures from my friend's blog.
