On Halloween!

October 31, 2013


Its a great day to work at a small school! The Elementary kids had to get creative and be a historical character the primary kids all got to be whatever cute thing they could come up with! 

I am a Minion! My group of friends is pretty great with dressing up so this year Snifferella came up with the awesome idea of being Minions…and we made it happen! 

Here are some pics from last weekends shenanigans with my friends out celebrating: 

This is how a minion looks when they enjoy the music! 

My lovely sister!!

I’m going to trick or treat with my nephew if the weather permits and then just pass out candy.
How are you spending your Halloween??

Five on Friday….

October 25, 2013

So I always see these fashion posts pop up…and I seriously can barely dress myself every day let alone put together some masterpiece outfit to compete with the other girls that get up hours earlier to get pretty. I get up at 5 am right now…imagine if I actually combed my hair and put makeup on before work!?! HA! never. 

So I thought it would be fun to list 5 trends that I can never pull off….

THE GOOD LIFE BLOG


{1} 
Awesome hair styles…You know why?! Because I have curly hair..not wavy…actual curly hair. So yea. I can’t do cool shit like that to my do. 

{2}
 Printed pants or leggings.Besides the obvious fact that I do not have thin thighs there is the fact that I am short. One can be helped the other can not. Short/chunky thighs DO NOT look cute in printed pants or leggings.

{3} 
Pointy Nails. This is one of those I am sure I could pull off but won’t. They are gross. That is all.

{4} 
Ridiculous shoes. I mean seriously…who besides an expert stripper can walk in anything over 3″ without doing that weird shuffles so you don’t fall? Not me. That’s who.

{5} 
A T-shirt. This pretty much encompasses any DIY type outfit. For 1 I can’t possibly get my ass not to hang out the back of a t-shirt dress & 2. I am just not creative enough for that nonsense.

Do you have trouble with any of these? What are some trends you just can’t work with??

On Paintballing…

October 23, 2013

Somehow The Boy convinced me to try paintballing with him…so we got a group together and headed out to middle of damn nowhere also know as Badlandz to run around the forest and shoot each other for fun. 

It actually turned out to be a great time and I am excited to go again. I do have some welts and I got shot in the thumb in my last game…I pretty much gave  up on life for about 5 minutes until I regained feeling in my thumb. So here are some photos to share….

The Girls in the group!

The whole group…this map was called Normandy..and it was evil 

Have you been paintballing?? Love it or Hate it? 
If your in Chicago we are going again in 3 weeks!
