Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! The day has finally arrived, I've been so pumped for Halloween all month. Unfortunately, not feeling the greatest today (not really different from any other day) But I'm gunna suck it up! No way I'm sleeping through this holiday! My mom and I were talking this morning on how there talk of changing the date of Halloween! UM HELLO, you can't just change the date of holidays that have been around for centuries, traditions year after year, definitely do NOT have my vote on that one. But onto a happier note, I have rounded together some Halloween costumes past to share, this year I will not be dressing up due to the fact I have not been ambitious enough to gather/make a costume. So I will just envy costumes past :)

One of my friends posted this a few weeks ago, this is all of us, the last year we went trick or treating!

(Grade 8 I believe)

 This is from last year, I was a pirate, costume from Ebay.

 Me slaying sailor moon, skirt was a DIY project I did last year!

 This was when I was living in Montreal, 3 years ago now.

 This was 4 years ago, hard to believe! Started with Halloween at a friends house in London.

 Then on actual Halloween, the girls and I went downtown for some drinks and entertainment.

Tonight We just plan on spending the evening at home, giving out candy, moms making a yummy chili dinner, we carved pumpkins last night, may do a few more today, I've already dipped into the candy this morning!!! Could not wait! I hope you all have a very fun and safe halloween :)

A fall wedding

So as you know yesterday was Lauren's wedding. Everything was gorgeous! I think everything pretty much went as planned, no catastrophe's! Lauren looked absolutely stunning! And Mike looked quite dapper as well. The hall was done up in purple and gold, and pumpkins everywhere! Cutest thing ever! I had a lot of fun, the food was good, I got to slow dance with Phil again which is always so amazing, I love slow dancing, call me old fashioned but I think it's so romantic <3

Here's bits and pieces from the beautiful day/night!

Excuse my camera, it's goes blurry on me :( The beautiful Lauren and her Daddy walking down the isle

 Gorgeous table setting, and cute pumpkin centre piece!

 The thank you's were individual pumpkin pies! (LOVE!)

 3 Tiered Cake, the cake topper was handmade of Lauren and Mike as scarecrows!

 Homemade caramel apples!

 Pumpkin centre pieces!!!

 Me and Phil of course! I love his blue eyes in this picture :)

 Bride and Groom cutting the cake! (Tradition of course!)

 I just love this picture of the bride and groom towards the end of the night...



It was so cute, the bridal party came out to "The Monster Mash" and they all had different dance moves- it really gave a twist to start of he night. The father-daughter dance was adorable, it started off with a traditional love song, then half way through they broke out and did the Twist! So much fun! Once Lauren posts her pictures, maybe I show you guys if she lets me of nice close ups of how beautiful she looked that day!

So that concludes my Saturday this weekend. Tons of fun in a beautiful dress with a handsome boy <3

Congrats!

The end of an era...

I have sad news. A few days ago, we were forced to give away the remainder of the kittens, two of which to someone we don't even know! we were all so upset, but since dad was sick of them we had to give them away, they seemed to have gone to a good home though. But I would feel much better if they went to someone I know if going to treat them with love and respect. The house is kind of sad now, and definitely feels empty, not little pitter-patter of paws in the middle of the night, or kittens climbing up my leg while having my morning coffee. Most of all it breaks my heart to see Luna, I think shes taking it the hardest, it seems like she keeps looking for her babies, and the other day she was actually cleaning lily! Even though lily was once a baby he's twice the size of her now! So this week has not had a good start so far. :(  Here's a little reminiscing, goodbye babies :(

On a side note, last week I had my OB appt (every 2 weeks now) my last official day of work is November 4th! I and so excited, a week and a half to go! Thank god- because I can't sit in those chairs anymore, my back pain is slowly creeping up my spine :(

Well have a good night everyone :)

I'm Dreaming of Coats...

I am in so need of a new fall\winter jacket! It's getting cold, and nothing fits over my belly :(. I want to refrain from buying anything extremely huge or in the maternity section, so after I have the baby I can still wear it, without it looking strange. I'm going to have to o on a coat hunt, reasonable prices and reasonable sizes. Here are some very pretty coats with the new winter/fall collection from some of my fav online shopping sites.

OK, so I know this one won't keep me very warm... but oh so pretty! (NastyGal)

 This one however, should keep me and baby nice a toasty :) (NastyGal)

 Love the purple in this coat and the collar is adorable! (Betsey Johnson)

 This one would be more for fall, love the indie look! (Threadsence)

 I like this one, very practical and looks warm enough for the winter! (Threadsence)
