Wishing all a Spooktacular Halloween! Be Safe!

Back to the Future

You know that movie that you could watch over and over again, for me it is Back to the Future and crazy thing is it is celebrating it's 25 year anniversary.... that means I am old. I was just a teenager when it came out. I think Back to the Future ranks right up there w/ Goonies.

What is one of your favorite movies you could watch over and over again?

You Capture: Autumn

Nothing screams Autumn more than a trip to the apple orchard. Hay rides, apple cider, apples, donuts, and pumpkins of all sizes. I love the cinnamon sugar covered donuts and caramel apples! What did you capture?

May the force be with you...

Halls Review and Giveaway

Well now that my son is back in school that means cold season is here, yuck! One thing I know for sure is that when I go to the drug store looking to purchase cough drops Halls have been a trusted brand in our household for many years.

Aloha Friday: No raisins please

When you were a kid what was the one candy you didn't like to receive when Trick or Treating?

For me it was Whoppers and Raisins.

You Capture: Orange

The above pumpkin weighs 550 lbs. and was at The Henry Ford for their Halloween event. I am pretty sure my nephew was smelling it, he likes to smell pumpkins. Orange is Will's favorite color so Halloween is an extra treat for him. What did you capture?

Wordless Wednesday: Not Allowed!

This is what I came down to the other morning and I am pretty sure it isn't allowed. Not sure why he doesn't think his dog bed is good enough.

Happy Wednesday friends!

The Mom Song with lyrics

Happy Monday friends! This is a oldie but a goodie but is a funny reminder of what a day is like for a Mom. But gosh I wouldn't change a thing, would you?

Aloha Friday: Halloween Costumes

What is your kiddo/kiddos being for Halloween?

Will is going to be Anakin Skywalker. I think we are all going to dress up so I will be Princes Leia {secretly I have always wanted to be her for Halloween} and John will be either Yoda or a Jedi. We have three Halloween events so this should be fun!

You Capture: Friends

OOPS! This week was suppose to be Animals not friends, but these pics are so stinkin cute I am going to keep it!

Friend: A person whom one knows, likes, and trusts.

Will has been friends with his "girls" since he was a year and a half old and when these kiddos get together they always have a good time. These pictures are from their favorite park. I especially love the last picture where they are all looking over at the park. What did you capture.

Aloha Friday: Something very annoying...

Something I find very annoying is when people talk on cell phones while at a restaurant. I mean do I really want to hear your drama and smacking at the same time while I am trying to enjoy my meal?

Tell me something you find really annoying?

You Capture: Faces

I snapped so many pictures of faces this week but what I loved most was this impromptu set of pictures I took of my Will. Will was in a silly mood so he was the perfect subject matter.

What did you capture?

Wordless Wednesday: Ballet Slippers

These are my brand spanking new ballet slippers. I am taking a adult ballet class at the studio I danced at for 15 years. It has been almost 20 years since I have danced and it feels so good, a bit like riding a bike. It is funny now that I am older I am even more critical of myself.

Yummy Apple Crisp Recipe

One of my favorite desserts to make is Apple Crisp and it is so easy to make. Do you have a favorite dessert to make?

Apple Crisp Recipe

6 apples peeled and sliced
1 c. dark brown sugar
1 cup flour
1 stick butter
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 c. uncooked oatmeal (sometimes I leave it out)

Place apples in bottom of 9x13 inch pan. Blend sugar, butter, flour cinnamon and oatmeal together with a pastry blender. Streusel over apples. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Serve warm or cold but is especially good with vanilla ice cream.
Enjoy!!!!!
