The weather....

Another weekend in the books!  We didn't do a whole lot this weekend.  We helped my grandma move on Saturday and Sunday we went to church and watched football.  On Friday night I made chicken pot pie (find the recipe from here).  The weather was a little cooler so I took advantage of it and did some home cookin'! Mr. Mac was pretty excited for it too :)

FALL IS COMING!!!  I promise I am not too crazy, but I am just sooo tired of 90+ degree weather       (ie: TODAY) that a cool down sounds amazing!  Don't worry in March or so, I will be over the cold and looking for a warm up....I am hard to please.  Oh Thursday I can't wait for you and your weather to          get here :)

I have a super duper crazy week at work and Mr. Mac and I start our new group at church on Wednesday night!  We are so looking forward to spending some time with some great new people in out lives.  God has been so good to us the last couple of months!  His plan is always perfect and we are so blessed to believe in a Savior who knows us better than we know ourselves.  

I hope everyone has a great week, and if I have time to blog I will! 

Ready for Fall

I am so ready for fall it is crazy!  It was 90 degrees here yesterday so I doesn't seem to be approaching in any swift manner but still!  I love to cook and try new recipes and fall always seems like the perfect time to do all that stuff!  And since this fall will technically be the first decorating season that I will have Pinterest to inspire me; it makes it that much more exciting!  Read as...I have no life!  

The other day my mother-in-law dropped off the first touch of fall to hit our house!

That is creamy pumpkin hand soap....my photo skills are cray!  I am going to need to learn more about that one day, but for now my iPhone is the best camera EVA!

Naturally all I want to do is take my happy booty to the Hobby Lobby and go crazy on some fall decor....what do you say Mr. Mac?????  The good news for me is that Mr. Mac grew up in a house where EVERYTHING changed seasonally so it doesn't seem to out of the norm to spend money on seasonal decor!  When do you put up your fall stuff?  I mean September seems legit to me, but it is hard when it is 90+ outside. 

At the grocery yesterday, I decided to purchase this tea....now I can make my own Starbucks...at home!!!  And I don't think Mr. Mac likes it too much to drink all of it, so it's all mine!!! HAHAHA (I am an only child, can you tell???)

Delish!

When I was taking my amazing professional photo of the soap I got to thinking about how I hate my generic stainless steel sink (can't change that...right now) and how the rings that soap bottles leave DRIVE.ME.BONKERS!  Naturally I took to Pinterest to solve my problem!  

Problem solved...I also didn't feel so OC because clearly other ladies have the same issue and that is why this project exists...WHEW!  Not sure when I will get around to doing it, but it is committed to memory so when I see some cheap ugly candlestick holder for like $1.00 I am gonna snatch that puppy up!

Other Fall Pinterest wants....

I have one of these plates and NEVER think to change the ribbon...DUH!

I don't like these hanging on a door...kinda weird, but they would be super cute somewhere else.  And they are made from items bought at the Dollar Store.  

I bet I could do all this from the Dollar Store too!  I really need something to go on my manlte...maybe a burlap banner and some tall things on the side...I don't know what to do but that is all the fun in building a home :)

We shall see what happens in my adventures to decorate for Fall!  Wish me luck :) 

A visit recapped!

Time is just flying you guys!  It has been weeks since I have blogged and it seriously feels like it has maybe been like 3 days.  Oh well....a lot has been goin on around here!  My BFF and her little fam has come and gone :(  Saddies that she is gone, but we had a lot of fun while she was here.

There are a lot of things us ladies take for granted living the good ol' USA ie: a GOOD mani/pedi.  Naturally that was one the list of things to get done once she got here!  We had made an appointment for Sunday afternoon followed by lunch and shopping.  It is important to know that both my bestie and I suffer from anxiety in large groups of people and in small spaces.  You can imagine our faces when we walked into this salon (the one I normally go to is closed on Sundays) that was the size of a single car garage with every.single.chair.full and 3 people waiting and standing around!  I have NEVER seen anything like it!  Bestie and I have excellent ESPN and looked at each other knowing this was NOT going to work out for us!  Naturally we flipped one of our best u-turns ever and sprinted out the door!  As I am walking around to the car I see one of the employees RUNNING after us!!!!!!  Feeling like I was going to be accosted by a little man wearing one of those white masks; I fumbled and got the car started and sped away!!! It was possibly one of the most frightening things that has ever happened to either one of us! WHO DOES THAT?!?!?  Needless to say the mani/pedis did not happen that day, but we went to my normal place a few days later and had a wonderful time (and avoided being chased by a MAJOR creeper!)

Here is my post from last year when they visited.  The kids have grown so much it is crazy!  We took the kids and my lil brother to the Children's museum and had a blast!  They played so well together and we so well behaved.  Little B was so proud of himself because I didn't have to "wash his mouth out"...he can have a little mouth on him and my dad has started that as his punishment.  He just a gem, and I cannot wait to have my own kiddos and do things like this with them :)

B kept saying "I am on a hot date with this cutie pie!"

He even shared his ranch dressing :)

Not so little anymore....such a doll!!

After all was said and done my B was all tuckered out!  Out like a light!

While I was busy with all that Mr. Mac had been anxiously awaiting football season to come...and now it is here!!!  He is a hap-hap-happy camper people :)  Oh and it is hunting season WOO HOO!!!...NOT!!!!!  He has gone twice and come home empty handed.  Praise God...I don't really need an elk living in my freezer!   Lexi agrees...she is not too amused by hunting either....

So I think this is a good recap of the bestie visit 2012...unitl next year...hopefully :)  I will leave you all with this.....

Yes this is my desk as I found it yesterday morning!!!  POST-ITS EVERYWHERE!!!!  This is after I removed them from my monitor,keyboard, phone, calculator, stapler, etc.  There are even on the front of the drawers!  It took the guy who did this an hour!  I gave him props after I wasn't so cranky...HA!
