Jumping Back In Time

So one of my friends decided to throw an AWESOME Halloween party this year.  It was a Roaring 20's Speakeasy Murder Mystery and let me tell you, they went ALL OUT.  I was so impressed and hope to someday throw a party that is even half as cool as this one was.  I seriously felt so cool from the moment I walked in the door, it was like we literally went back in time.  Despite my best efforts to dress like a flapper, I really ended up looking like an innocent little 1920's girl that certainly did not belong at a speakeasy, but luckily they didn't kick me out.  Everyone else's costumes were AMAZING!  I felt so out of place standing next to them they looked that good.  


Me and the Hubs started out by playing a game of pool, which I won... by default... after I had already lost by default but the hubs let the game continue. Doesn't he look like such a stud in this shot!  :)


The party took place in a room that had an actual bar.  They made up some awesome virgin drinks that were made to order and boy were they tasty!  Well, all except the Tabasco sauce and Ginger Ale shots we decided to take... not the greatest idea we ever had.


We also played a murder mystery game.  I was the second to last one alive and I totally knew who the killer was but didn't get a chance to call him out before he killed me.  Bummer. We all had slips of paper that said how we were to die, I spun to death.  Jeff Hiccuped to death.  Another person sung to death.  It was a riot!  

I am so glad we had the chance to go.  It was so fun to do something Halloween related that did not involve kids and candy (not that I am opposed to that, but this was just the date night we needed!) and we were able to make some new friends too.  :)  

You really need to check out Elyse and Ashley's blogs.  Their post do the party much more justice.  They have way more pics, and are much better with words then me.  Not to mention Elyse put videos of both the girls and the boys taking the shots... awesome!  Thanks for an awesome evening and the pics to remember it by.  You guys are the best!

What to pack . . .

By
So now that he really could come ANY DAY I figured it was probably time for me to pack my bag. I of course have one of those "What to bring" checklist, but I was wondering what your thoughts where. Is there anything you wish you had brought but didn't? Is there anything you would have died without if you hadn't brought it? I'm just so clueless! A few tips from you experienced mothers would be greatly appreciated!! I cant believe it is so close!!

Have you noticed?

I need a haircut ASAP! This is me saying, "I'll smile if you ignore my hair." Don't get me wrong, I am really excited I have long hair, I love having long hair , but it needs a little TLC. It has been a few months since I have even got a trim and I am still re-couping from a not so good hair cut. The last few times I have really CUT my hair, not just a trim, I was not pleased with the results. Now it would probably help if I was willing to pay more than $10 for a hair cut . . . but I'm Mrs. High Pockets as my father calls me and it is really hard for me to spend money on my hair. So I need your help! What do you think I should do? Before you make any suggestions you should know: It MUST be able to go back into a ponytail!!!!!!! My hair is STICK STRAIGHT My hair will not curl to save my life (via over night curls, hot curls, even curling irons, they just don't work) I want and need something EASY! I do not like to spend time on my hair and I don...

No Use Crying Over Spilled Milk . . .

By
So being an emotional pregnant woman is definitely taking its tole on both me and Jeff (what a wonderful, patient, and understanding man he is). Saturday morning I was so excited because for the first time in weeks we actually had a morning together. I had planned to make us a delicious breakfast just like my dad always did for me. We had Eggs, Hashbrowns, and even Bacon; we were so excited. So I started cooking the bacon first, knowing it would take the longest. Then when I thought they were close to being done, Jeff started cooking the eggs and I threw on the hashbrowns. Well, needless to say, the eggs finished super fast and the others were not even close. And then to add more to my frustration the pan I was using for the hashbrowns was awful! Despite my many tablespoons of butter the entire thing was completely stuck! I switched pans in the middle to try to save them. In the meantime Jeff ate his eggs so they wouldn't get cold. I insisted on waiting so I could eat th...
