Toddler Delights: Halloween Decorating

I decorated my Halloween mantle last night with my little man and we had so much fun. After we put everything up, we lit the candles and turned all of the lights off and just sat there and stared.

It was so cute because hubby was sitting on the couch watching ESPN and us at the same time. When we turned all of the lights off, little man said, "Daddy, turn off the tv too." He did, and we sat there in the dark with just the candles and pumpkins twinkling and I said to my little man, "We're gonna have so much fun this Christmas, I can already tell."

After I took these pics, I let him put fake spider webs all over the fireplace screen and just about every other item that he could cover in the room. It's gonna be even more fun cleaning it all up.

    Just found your cute blog. I bought the Martha Stewart "Happy Halloween" garland and then ended up returning it because I couldn't find a place to put it. Your idea is perfect. We have a similar mirror over our mantle. I love the garland there and now I am so mad that I returned it. Oh well, next year maybe she'll have it out again.

Happy Pills

I'm a crazy person. At least, that's what I feel like some times. And it runs in my family. No, not really crazy (and don't take offense if you are one of me), but just clinically depressed and filled with anxiety. It's as if I don't have something to worry about in my head constantly, then I don't feel normal. Luckily, there's a pill for that. It's a bitter pill, one that I'll basically have to take the rest of my life, but I've slowly accepted that it's like any other disease, and just like diabetes or heart disease, that little pill is gonna make me better. But that little pill makes me gain weight, gives me the brain shivers when I miss it, and although I've tried to get off it multiple times, I just can't. So I guess that makes me an addict as well. But it's a pill that my grandparents and family didn't always have, and they suffer from it as well, so I should be thankful for this little red capsule of happiness...
