So Happy!

November 7, 2017

I am interrupting the regularly scheduled Tuesdays @ Two because I am officially an aunt  x3 now!!!

My adorable nephew Axel Carter was born yesterday weighing in at 10lbs 4oz (yes my sister has some big babies!) He is wonderful and all that good stuff!!

My sister is recovering well, baby is healthy, dad is happy, big brother was excited and big sister was jealous (she is only 15 months though)!

 
 
 
SO excited!!!

High Five for Friday!

November 3, 2017

Linking up with Della at Della Devoted, Katie at Cup of Tea, Tif at Bright on a Budget for High Five for Friday!

{1} 
 Halloween was super cute this year! I never get trick or treaters since I live in a gated apartment building on a block with all apartment buildings so I was super excited to go over to Thenewguys place to sit out and give treats! He must not have believed I was going to do it but I sat out there for 2 hours in the cold…and we got a pretty weak turnout but everyone was saying they were too. After that we made some super cute Jack o Lantern stuffed peppers and watched Hocus Pocus. He was pretty disgusted with how festive and cute the evening went.

Went to Starbucks this morning and this mofo’s had Christmas music on. They better stop playing.. it is only November 3rd. Don’t get me wrong I love love love Christmas but eff off with this nonsense give it at least a week into the month before you get crazy. 
{3} 
I am really trying to go to Disneyworld for NYE this year…well actually I was planning to throw a party but then Thenewguy was all “lets go somewhere” and now I can’t stop planning. BUT flights to Orlando for NYE are expensive!! Has anyone been? Which park do you recommend for the festivities??? 
 
{4} 
Zipping through books this month. No seriously. I already read 2 and am half way through a 3rd this week. I am not giving my homework that much attention. NO BUENO. I need to stop but I can’t! 
 
{5}
In an attempt to get my weight under control and also kick this dependency I am giving up coffee (specifically all the wonderful sweet goodness that is Starbucks) for a few weeks. I have to get my life together before I gain 15 pounds over the next 2 months! 
That is all I have for you today! 
What’s your five this friday?
