Here and there.













Halloween was simple.- We had a twirling Cinderella and a tiny bumblebee buzzing through our home. Our oldest had a friend over for games and a few crafts. 
We filled our cups with cider.- This is something we do every year. 
Later, we headed out. We visited a few homes and filled their bags with sweet goodies.

 I'm still enjoying this fall weather. - The snow never did make it.  I'm happy. I'm not quite ready for snowy weather. For now, I'm enjoying the cooler weather.  We were able to try out this year's Halloween drink from Starbucks.- Frappula Frappuccino.  It was delicious.

 Little pumpkins remain on our windowsill. I'll move them soon and rearrange them on our dining table.  I've taken a few requests for Thanksgiving and so I've been making a list of new foods to prepare. 

 Things have been simple.- I like it this way. We're still taking our weekly trips to our local library. I recently checked out a craft book. Maybe I'll make something soon. - My girls keep me busy. I'll see if I can fit in a little bit of craft time. 

 I started working on finishing my little ones' scrapbooks.- I'll admit I'm behind just a little.  Things tend to get a bit hectic around here.- I'm fine with that. For now, I'll enjoy these simple moments with my family. 

 Thank you all for your sweet comments on both my blog and Google+. I'm so happy you all enjoyed my post on my pumpkin doughnuts. They were delicious and really just hit the spot! I hope you were able to try out my recipe. 

 Thank you all for following along on my blogging journey. I appreciate all of you!

    I'm hoping to have my girls photo scrap books caught up with Christmas. I am not a Starbucks person but that drink up there looks delicious! They still have it? As always love your photos.

      Angela, thank you! The Starbucks drink was available for a day or two after Halloween. -But I'm sure if you go to your local Starbucks and tell them you want that drink made, they can do it. ( They even have a secret menu) :)
