What a fun weekend!

I had the best weekend you guys. It all started earlier in the week when I decided to break out my sewing machine and make a quick blanket for Kylie. I found this adorable lady bug fleece at Wal-mart, so last Wednesday I whipped one up. It felt sooo good to sew again. I’ve missed doing it ever since I had to stop because of my back surgery. I’m so excited to make more blankets.

Jordan gave us some apples off their apple tree, so I decided to can some apple pie filling. My recipe called for some apple juice, but I didn’t realize till after I had made it that I had bought apple juice punch blend. So we’ll see how gross or good my apple pies turn out!

Last Friday, my friend who sells Mary Kay invited me to come to a Mary Kay party at the mall. I invited Wendy and Ashley to come along. They were going to have Olive Garden dinner for us and then we were going to get our eyebrows waxed and a facial and makeover. Dinner was great and the facial and makeover was a blast. I got so excited when Wendy decided to be a consultant! So if any of you need Mary Kay product, call Wendy! I also won some free eye shadow. Heck yes I'm good! Anyway, here is a before and after pic of our hot selves.

On Saturday I went to get my hair done. Love it! Crystal Mitchell does such a great job. After I got my hair all beautified, Wendy, Ashley, Kylie and I headed over to Gardeners Village. I have never been here before, but I must say I have been missing out! They have all these little shops that are in these old houses and since it’s October, they had all their witches and pumpkins out. It was so much fun. We only got through like half the stores, so I’m excited to go back.

Well that’s about it. I am sooo looking forward to Halloween this year. Kylie is going to be Tinker Bell and she’s finally old enough to go trick or treating. That girl is going to score me some serious candy! Oh come on, like you aren’t going to eat your kids Halloween candy :) Happy October everyone!

Oh, I just found out this incredibly cool site. If you're like me, you like to look at other people's blogs...some of whom you have never met before :) Well, I was doing just that tonight and found out that if you go to www.uddercovers.com and click on shop now, you can order a free nursing cover! All you have to pay is the Shipping and Handling which is $8.95! Just enter "1free" in the promo code prompt. I'm so excited to get mine. I also bought some nursing pads that are machine washable and I entered the promo code again and just had to pay for shipping. Anyway, check it out!
