Back in the swing of things in a busy way

It's great to have our little man home. 

He's just playing like crazy with his toys like they're all new again.  He just wanted to stay at home all day, but I finally got him out of the house tonight after dinner to get some stuff Walmart.  He actually walked beside the cart most of the time, and he helped me put the couple of things in the cart we needed: halloween candy, creamer to share at MOPs apples, and a couple other random things.  He was so cute picking out the Halloween candy. 

Today I cleaned our house because we're hosting a pumpkin painting party for C's friends.  I also worked on a bit of sewing (can't wait to share this new little fun project).  I'll reveal when I get them all done--b/c one is never enough.  C and I made homemade chocolate pumpkin cupcakes (can't wait to taste them).  I tweaked it from a couple of recipes.  I'm going to ice half of them w/a pumpkin cream cheese frosting I'm making.  I got cute Halloween sprinkles and picks to decorate them with.  C also can't wait to try them. 

We have to get everything set up in the garage tomorrow to get the painting going.  I think it will be fun for the kids.  I made my harvest candy mix: m & ms, candy corn, peanuts, and raisins.  I'm going to make "candy corn" pizza (no candy corn, it just looks like it) and I'm serving apple "teeth" with caramel.  Should be fun.  I need to remember to take some photos.   I've been terrible about taking photos lately, but I'll try to do better.

I started wearing my mouthguard again, so my teeth are sensitive and I didn't sleep very well, so I'm tired, but feeling okay.  Scott and I are going to check out a gym this week to possibly join for the winter.
