Hello everyone. Back from a day at the soccer field to try and publish our Weekly Wrap Up.

Well, we finally got the house ready for Halloween. What do you think of my $2 tablecloth, which is waterproof? I love it! Also loving the gourds which are spicing up our house.

Every year we save the same, simple pumpkins that I drew with the kids several years back. Although super simple, this pumpkin cut-outs have special meaning because the kids recognize what they drew in the past and they love the tradition of taping them to our walls with my favorite blue tape. I recommend these as a fun Halloween craft for kids!

This year we are welcoming two Jack O Lanterns to the house — both a girls and a boys. Yesterday meant girl time and we carved our pumpkin and spent the afternoon roasting pumpkin seeds with plenty of sea salt. Loved the special time with my little yummies.

Here are some shots from our entry way with more of the simple Halloween decorating we’ve been up to. It’s one of our favorite holidays so this is certainly getting us in the mood!

Do you have any go-to easy Halloween decorations? Share them with me in the comments!

That’s about it for our Weekly Wrap Up and make sure to enter our giveaway below!

Oh, and here are my resolutions:

Try to work out three times

Visit my Mom. My Mom had a total hip and a post-surgery complication that threw our family for a loop. All is well time but she needs some support during the recovery period, so trying to get enough coverage to get to my parents house this week for a day or two.

Try to plan a visit to Miami for Feb long weekend to see my best college pals.

Help the boys study a bit more. Middle School has had its ups and downs. Although I’m trying to encourage the boys to be more independent this year, they’ve got quite a few quizzes this week so some Mommy intervention in the study planning department would not hurt.

Pay bills – yuck!

Make applesauce — yum!

Buy candy corns – my favorite!!



Wishing all of y’all an amazing week and check back in next week for our Halloween photos!

Love,

Melissa xoxo
