halloween party

We had our Halloween party early this year due to everyone's obligations. since it's her kids' favorite holiday, the duchess offered to host it. Everyone brought yummy food and we got together on a Sunday afternoon to hang out, catch up and let the little monsters, i mean kids, play!



this punch was REALLY COOL LOOKING...the duchess made it..but it didn't taste all that great IMO. It had seltzer water in it, and that was all i could taste...but it certainly looked cool!

some of the monsters playing outside...

a VERY exciting game of "pass the pumpkin" thanks to Heather. The kids LOVED it!!!


and at the end of the day we were all tired and ready to go home and hit hte bed!
Hope you all have a great Halloween. My family and i are heading to Disney World on Sunday, so i will be MIA for a bit. I am however going to try and post a few pictures each day in my blog...so check back and you can see all the fun we are having on our trip!!!

 So, I think i have talked about it here, maybe not. I can't remember anymore. I am too lazy to look back and see right now.  I started a while back, hmmmmm maybe a year ago? I felt like i needed to get off my crazy meds.  My dose was low, lower than the "recommended" dosage. I had been on them for years!!!! and i just felt like it was time.  I have a sweet, kind, amazing friend who is going through similar things and we talk about our depression, our kids and our faith. When I told her i wanted off my meds she said, "I know what you mean about having chemicals in your body, like in some ways it might make you feel better, but you don't feel like yourself and then some of the side effects really suck." That made me think. a lot. I had not seen life without the numbing grey of my antidepressants in over a decade. Who was I without the meds? What was life really like? could I handle it? would i literally fall apart?? Could i survive the withdrawal? sigh.

Photo a Day May 2 wow. the hits keep coming. It seems like everyday now I hear of one more friend who is having issues in their life. Some are medical, some are relational, some need a job, some are mental, some are financial. Everywhere I look it seems like people have HUGE mountains to climb.  It makes me want to go to bed and cover my head. It makes me want to go into the woods and pray. That reminds me that God's got this. No matter how bad, how crazy, how out of control this world seems; God is still God.  Author of Everything, and every mystery.... Reveal yourself to me! You calmed the raging Sea and carved the Canyons deep; Now come and live in me! We Stand in Awe!  Creator God! Lord of the Universe,  Sovereign of all the Earth! Worshiping at your feet. Power and Majesty. We stand in awe of who you are Creator God! We bow our hearts before you now Lord Most High! When I don't know why to pray, which is often, I jus

You can find the instructions on how to make this here: http://sarastudio.blogspot.com/2008/01/re-purposed-valentines-topiaries.html at this wonderful blog that keeps me inspired.

Here is the whole fireplace area...i have a little bling on the screen that says "LOVE" from the Target Dollar Spot and two red velvet bows i got from WM after Christmas on Clearance.
