An entire generation of Cinderellas and there's no glass slipper comin'






It's that wonderful time of year again, when wearing layers of black and grey clothing, having loooong black hair and eating candy all day is totally acceptable. Ahhh, October. Why can't you last all year??

Sarah now has two costumes for this year. Her Batgirl costume that she wore to Mickey's Not So Halloween Party and her beloved "rat" costume that we just got at Old Navy for half off! She's in love with Remi from Ratatoille so that's who she's saying she is. I was apprehensive at first....I mean, a rat??? But, OH MY HECK did she look absolutely ADORABLE in it. It's all padded and puffy and actually cute like a mouse. The best part is that she loves to run around it all day and it makes me want to snuggle with her 24/7.

Sarah has been doing really well in school. She's made so many adorable craft projects that I've been photographing for an upcoming mini book. And her teacher says her favorite part of the day is craft time. Like mother, like daughter!

My hair is officially WAY too long, like 4 inches too long, so I think I'm going to get it cut. Not sure if I'm going to do layers or just blunt cut it all the way around. Decisions decisions....

It "only" cost $50 to fill my tank today. Soooo much better than $75 but still not great.

The pumpkin pie from last week came out scrumptious!! So this week we are trying our hand at an apple pie. I think Sarah's the one with the culinary ability since I've never been all that good at baking. But I must say the breaded shrimp we made tonight came out AWESOME!

I really want to see a good movie...any recommendations??

I leave you with one of my favorite scenes from a movie....ever.
