First Halloween!!

I love Halloween! It's the start of my favorite time of year. For the next couple months it's awesome holiday after awesome holiday! Ending in January with my birthday! And I'll be 30 this year so that's a big doozy!
Anyway, our Halloween started off with us looking for a pumpkin patch. I just wanted to take some pictures and kind of have the whole Fall feeling going on. Well apparently there are none in the valley. None that we could find and we even called the chamber of commerce/visitors center. Ridiculous! How can there be no pumpkin patches? What is wrong with this place? Jeez.
So we came home and carved our one pumpkin that I bought unceremoniously at Wal-Mart. No wonder it was so cheap, this thing was like 4 inches thick!! It was so hard to carve!!!!! And we found out B-Bop likes pumpkin guts!



We also went to a cool event at the zoo called HowlOWeen, there was candy and bouncehouses and a scary ride thing. We went with Kieran and Amanda and had a super fun time! They are the ones that got her costume, she was a zebra. Wild zebra on the loose!



 My sister sent Camille a cute halloween box with jammies a frame some candy. It was awesome!! She wore the jammies halloween night :-) She liked them



She also went to her first parade! It was the Palm Desert golf cart parade! It was fun, watched part of it with our friend Heather and her kids. her daughter is just a couple weeks older than Camille. It was a warm day but Camille had a good time! She only last for a little while though before she passed out!


I'm trying to cook more, so we eat out less. I relaly like eating out but it's expensive so time for us to start eating in. I found this amazing idea. I cooked a bunch of chicken breasts in the crock pot then I put them all in my mixer and it shredded them perfectly!! Like easiest thing EVER! So I packaged it all up and separated it to be frozen or used.

 So far with one package I made tacos one night and enchiladas then next. Tonight is spaghetti night :-)
Oh and I finally finished the bookcases! Yea!!!

Grandma Elizabeth got Camille a new wubba nub so now she has two! She loves her new caterpillar!

 And lastly just a pick that I like to call: A boy and his dog :-)
