November!

I love new months! Out with the old, in with the new! I especially love it when it means taking down one holiday's decorations and preparing for the next! My Halloween stuff went back to the garage the first day of November and is now replaced with fall and thanksgiving. It makes me giddy knowing what's next :)
The first week of November we had two birthdays. On the 4th, it was my mother-in-law's and on the 6th it was Tyler's! My sweet husband is now 24! Gettin up there! We celebrated Friday night by dropping Hallie off at Pico's and going out. We had dinner at Red Robin and went to see Tower Heist (it has Alan Alda in it..of course that's what Tyler's pick was). Saturday it was dark and chilly outside so we went to Brew's game and then spent the afternoon together watching movies and playing with our cute girl. Sunday, Tyler's birthday, we slept thru church (whoops) and then went to the mall. We had gotten a thing in the mail from Helzberg saying we got a free bracelet for our birthday. Maybe they thought Tyler's birthday was mine, but I ended up with a pretty bracelet on my husbands birthday! I like it! I also found out that I am FINALLY up for a phone upgrade in 2 weeks. It can not come soon enough!!! After the mall we had lunch at Chili's. Yum. Then we went home, put Hallie down for a nap, then headed over to Tyler's mom's for their birthday bbq. We had hamburgers and watched Rio. We all had a good time.
Hallie is showing her little personality more and more. I love that little girl. She's smiling a lot now and I even got laughs today! She's starting to play with us now and is getting to be so fun! Tyler and I are loving the happy moments we have with her!

Day 13

<p>The end is here! Halloween is finally over. It was kind of a bad turn out at my moms. Not a lot of trick or treaters. But I LOVE Halloween at my moms. She goes all out. People took turns hiding behind corn stalks scaring the teenage trick or treaters. They deserve it. I really hate when they show up expecting candy either wearing no costume or no clothes. And then they make up lame excuses. I'm dressed as myself or I'm a gangster or I'm a cowgirl in my shorts that show off half my butt. That's the part of Halloween I hate. So needless to say it made my night when they all got the skank scared out of them. Tyler and I went as Batman and Robin. We made our costumes, I'll have to post pictures soon. The rest of Halloween was just tradition. Ibc rootbeer and cream soda, mummy dogs, caramel apples..the usual. Hallie was in a baaaad mood yesterday so she finally took a nap and slept the whole time. I woke her up at the end to put her grouchy ladybug costume on and at least take one or two pictures. I can't wait to take her out next year, hopefully she'll be a happy child by then.
Now its November. My house is a mess from all the festivities we've had lately. I can't wait to get it cleaned, put away Halloween stuff and get out my fall decorations. Sunday is Tyler's birthday and I still have no idea what to get him. Hm...

Day 12

Sunday I had a killer headache all day. We stayed home from church and watched Halloween 3, 4, & 5. Then we went to my moms and frosted more cookies, ate pizza, finished decorating her house, and carved pumpkins. I really wanted to have Hallie carve a pumpkin with me and put her in it..but I think she's going thru a growth spurt so she slept thru it all. I love Halloween, but I'm about ready for it to be over!
