Halloween Decor on a Dime

I love Halloween but for some reason I don't really have any decor to decorate with. With us being on a really tight budget at the moment I decided to to get a little creative and decorate anyway diy style. Using pinterest as my go to idea guide, this is what I came up with.

Pumpkin Patch

There is this amazing pumpkin patch in Pittsburgh, that Tiffany Angus took Donaven to when I was on bed rest, while pregnant with Emerson. She invited us all to go again with her this year and I am so glad that we did!

We started with a hay ride around the grounds.






Then scaled the hay mountain.






There were so many fun things to do. Slides, zip-line, an obstacle course,
games, and much more!











What an awesome way to kick off the fall season with friends!

Touch-A-Truck

Over Conf. weekend one of our favorite community events, Touch-A-Truck/Feed a Family took place at the Longview Fair Grounds. We all had a great time seeing some fun trucks.

And a few familiar faces...








Donaven was elated to get a penguin painted on his face.









Time is getting away from me. Take a look at how much my Donaven has grown from a few Touch-A-Truck's ago (2009).

Worn Out

Pirate Playtime

Arrrgghhh!
Pirate Captain Donaven
of the seven seas...


Me treasure.




"What would you do with a scurvy pirate?"

"Make them walk the plank!!!"

While Momma's away the boys will play!

While I was off enjoying myself in Florida the boys had a lot of quality time with their Daddy! Putt-Putt, swimming, movies, and park outings just to name a few.









I am happy to report that everyone was alive and well when I returned. Brandon is amazing and had everyone sleeping in their own beds through the night. He even potty trained Donaven!!! Brandon you are the best husband ever for taking such great care of our sweet boys and allowing me the opportunity to go and be with my sisters for the week. I love you babe!
