Halloween

I had a really good Halloween this year.

Lance had already left to begin the move down to Kissimmee, but I was still in Raleigh with my parents and two youngest sisters.

Emilee and I decided to make tutus.  Emilee and Lily dressed up like ballerinas. I didn't dress up. I'm not cool like that.

I had so much fun making Lily's tutu! And she looked stinkin' cute in it, too!

Here are some pictures:

Playing the piano while she waits for us to go Trick Or Treating.

She's ready to go!

Emilee and Lily walking down the street.

Lily had a little flashlight she was carrying. Also, how cute is Emilee? So cute!

The quality on this is really bad, but that's me and my baby girl!

Her tiny little bun. ♥

Lily had so much fun!  She didn't understand why people were giving her candy, but she loved it!  She never really did get the hang of saying "Trick or treat", but she did say "thank you." Granted, she said it after we had left the door step and were practically to the road, but she said it! Silly little thing.

You can't tell in the photos, but I unleashed an entire can of glitter spray on her.  She was so sparkly and so stinkin' cute!

Halloween in Raleigh was like Halloween in the movies.  The weather was perfect. It was so warm, we could wear whatever we wanted and be just fine.  The sidewalks were littered with yellow, red, and orange leaves that crunched when you walked.  It was gorgeous.

Special thanks to Emilee for helping me to participate in Halloween this year. I probably wouldn't have without her.

Nothing Really

I have so much I want to talk about. But I am also very tired, and I have to get up pretty early tomorrow. So here are two recent pictures so this post isn't completely retarded.
 

Living With the Land at Epcot

Our first day in our new place.  I too can't believe I've been going out in public with my hair looking like that.

Ipsy November Glam Bag - Sneak Peeks!

From what I hear, November and December are some of the best months for Ipsy subscribers.  We shall see!


Sneak peaks are a little late this month, aren't they?  We have only one so far, but usually we get one sneak peak each day of the last week of the month.



I will update this post as more information becomes available.




 Sneak Peak # 1:

Six items in the November bag!  That is awesome.  The bonus item will be from em. em is the new makeup line created by Michelle Phan who is also the creator of Ipsy. Her products are supposed to be really good, but I've heard both good and bad reviews of certain items.  It will be fun to get to try something for myself!

Sneak Peek #2:
 

It's basically the same thing as the previous sneak peek, but we also get the theme for the month: Glam it up.  Sounds really fun!  I am not a fan of the gold glitter. I would not like a gold bag. But, if it is gold then oh well!

Sneak Peek #3:

Looks like a Be a Bombshell Lip Crayon. That's fun!  To me they look like the colors Some Beach which is a coral color and Trophy Wife which is a light pink. I'd be happy to try either of these, even though coral generally doesn't look good on me.  I'll keep trying until I find a coral that does!

Sneak Peek #4:

I think these are Pixi bronzers. I can't take credit for knowing that, because I saw this on an Ipsy trading page:

I'd be happy with the lightest shade or the darkest shade. I could use the lightest shade as a highlight, and the darkest as a contour.  The medium shade would probably look bad on my skin tone.

 Sneak Peek #5:

This clue took me a second to understand. For some reason I was thinking we'd be getting wine glass charms. What in the world would I do with those? I don't drink wine!  But after looking at the picture, I realize it's nail polish.  The shape of the bottle reminds me of the Nailtini I received a few months ago.  Sure enough, Nailtini has Silver Slipper and Cognac in their mini bar line. They also have Caviar Cocktail and Liquid Luau. I'd really prefer a silver color. I think a silver polish would look awesome! If I get the bronze one it would be added to my gift pile for someone with a lovely warm complexion. :) I really hope this is Nailtini because I love the formula of the one I already own.

Sneak Peek #6:

Looks like Kiss Ever EZ false lashes double pack, TRESemme Tres Two Hairspray, Cailyn Built-In Sponge Tip Mineral Eyeshadow in Orchid, GlamGlow Pro Sexy Youthmud Tinglexfoliate Treatment, BH Cosmetics Galaxy Chic Baked Eyeshadow Palette, and HSI Argan Oil.

I'd like any of these items, however the false lashes and hair spray would be used the least by me. I'm crossing my fingers for the mud mask, or the Argan oil.  I love getting new eyeshadows, but I have so many that I really don't need any more.

Sneak Peek #7:

 

This is a gorgeous Starlooks Gem eye liner. I have one in black, and I definitely see myself rocking this one!

Sneak Peek #8:

Annd the bag.  It's really, really cute. I'm sure I'll find a use for it. :)

Drink Please?

Today was a difficult day.

Me and Lily are the only ones in the house, and I'm trying my best to gather all of our belongings that have made their way in here, and take them back out to the motor home or the trailer so that they will move with us on Friday.

I'm moving on Friday!  I'm so overwhelmed.

Lance left this morning, really early, with Bentley and Layla.

I have to say it's too quiet and lonely without my dogs here.  They usually keep me company while I'm working.

I wish I had gone with Lance.  I didn't go because we thought that since my parents are being nice and taking the RV down to Kissimmee and pulling the trailer that has all our stuff in it, I should go with them. And pay for the gasoline.

It's going to be a lonnnnng drive.

The drive is normally 8-9 hours.  But in the RV you can't really go faster than 60mph, so it will be more like 10-11 hours.

We're leaving Friday after my dad gets off work and driving for a few hours. We'll stop at a rest area to sleep, then drive the rest of the way on Saturday.

The motor home will be good for Lily so she doesn't have to be strapped down in a car seat the whole time.  But, I'm still worried.

At least there will be a nap!

Anyway, alone with Lily today while trying to clean and pack wasn't very fun, or easy.

I came into the kitchen to find several messes.

The last one was kind of funny though.

Lily was on the table, and had spilled my drink, which was a full can of soda.  I had opened it, taken a sip and moved along.

So there she was, swishing the liquid all around the table.  When I walked in she looked up at me and said, "Drink please?"

Big Mess

Yesterday while I was working, Lance came in here and was sitting next to me. Lily was in the other room making a lot of noise.

I looked at Lance and said, "Are you ready to clean up a big mess?"

He laughed and said, "Yes I am!"  Then he went over to see what she was up to.

When he saw her he laughed and told me to come see.

Lily was sitting in a box with all of her toys. She was just putting her toys in the box, then taking them out over and over again, babbling all the way.

Lily likes to play in boxes, so it wasn't anything new. But it was super cute.
