Thursday Thoughts

Guys. This whole "back to school" thing is kicking my butt this week. I seriously feel like I haven't been able to accomplish anything on time, and it's wearing me out! Between the four of us, I'm pretty sure we have something going on every night for the next two weeks. Gah! Call on the coffee!!

Regardless, I thought I would share my current wishlist. Ya know- it's fall, so I feel like it's time to add in some new seasonal decor and clothes... plus maybe a snack or two. ;) Only the good stuff here folks! [Read: More like only the cheap stuff- ha! Good thing I didn't go into education for the money ;)]

First off, let's talk fall crafts. That counts on a wish list- things I'm wishing I had time to put together!

These wooden pumpkins are totally adorable! I'm thinking about making a set for my house to put outside... and making a set for my sister. She's getting married on Halloween, so can you imagine those with their last name & wedding date painted on them? Talk about the most adorable anniversary/fall decor of all time!

Also, this spider and spiderweb are something that I can totally imagine putting together with the boys this year & then putting them out forever and always (yes, I'm that mom). Maybe on a canvas to hang on the door for October? Hmmm... I've also seen where you can make pumpkins with handprints & they're also too darn cute.

I usually get the boys picture taken in the fall, but I don't think we've had for real family pictures taken since Monkey was born [#momfail]. I'm thinking this fall we may have to talk my mom into going to the pumpkin patch with us for pictures. I'm kinda feeling the whole orange-olive-tan color scheme... plus, Monster already has some shoes that are those colors (thank you, Old Navy clearance last year!). I'm still looking for outfit ideas, but we may do some combination of these:

For Monster:
Graphic tees are a favorite at our house.

For Monkey:

The hat *loooove*

For Mom:
Because cardigans.

For Dad:
Pictures only happen if Hubs is cool with his outfit.

I'll have to do some closet shopping ... I'll let you know what I decide in the end! :)

Also, fall means anything and all things pumpkin. I'm debating pumpkin cupcakes for tonight... though currently we have a super sick Monster (like, now), so I'm going to have to let you go. I see lots of cuddles in my future. Prayers for a speedy recovery (and that the bug doesn't attack the rest of us) would be greatly appreciated!!
