Random Tuesday Thoughts!

Happy Tuesday to you all!! It's time to be random! If you would like to join in the random fun all you have to do is head to Keely's blog by clicking the random little box below.

1. Finally got the Kiddo's Halloween costume. He's going to be a Pirate and he's so excited about it.

2. I'm looking forward to having some candy around the house. (DANGEROUS!!!) I hardly ever buy it because of the danger factor. I'm sure I'll be happy when it's gone too. Maybe I should hope that people hand out stupid candy this year instead of good candy.

3. Yea you know the stupid candy. Tootsie Rolls and generic hard candy, jawbreakers and that Bubble gum that you can only chew for 3.52 minutes because after that it's lost all it's flavor. (No offense meant towards anyone who likes this candy.) I'm looking for the GOOD candy. The snack/fun size Reese's and Snickers, the Hershey bars and the Kit Kats. Those are the GOOD candy.

4. Will you be handing out candy this year or will you be trekking through town with a little costume clad kiddo in tow? I love taking the Kiddo Trick-or-Treating. It's a blast! Then when we come home he crashes and I have the rest of the night to watch Ghost Hunters (or something else Halloween-ish) and eat candy. Well, I don't eat candy all night.

5. Trick-or-Treat? Yea, let's hope the rain stops! I'm so sick of the rain!

6. Made some delicious pumpkin bread last night. MMmmm. I really don't know why I don't make this stuff every week. It's that good!

Well, I think that's about it. Have a great Random Tuesday everyone!!!

Pumpkins, Pumpkins Everywhere

Our gas station (yes, you read that right) Finally got their Pumpkin Spice Cappuccino in! I'm so happy! It may not be Starbucks but it'll do for me!

Yesterday I spent some time reading some Random Tuesday Thoughts (Courtesy of
Keely over at The Un Mom) and one thing I discovered is that there is a lot of pumpkin stuff going on.

Whether it's people going to pumpkin patches (of which we have NONE) or crafting pumpkiny things or baking pumpkiny things, there's just a lot.

Now all I want to do is go to a pumpkin patch (Did I mention we have NONE of these????) and make some kind of pumpkiny crafts.

I most Definitely plan to make some pumpkin muffins and maybe some more pumpkin pancakes. I'm also without a doubt planning on heading to our local ice cream stop and ordering a LARGE Pumpkin milk shake. Ohhh, I can practically taste it now.

I'm a sucker for pretty much anything pumpkin. Oh, speaking of I think I'll be getting a pumpkin to carve sometime between Saturday and Tuesday (it probably won't take me til Tuesday).

P.S. Did you keep track of how many times I said "Pumpkin" or "Pumpkiny" in this post? No? Me neither!

Random Tuesday Thoughts!

It's Tuesday! Pop on over to Keely's blog and join the fun! Just click the cute little box below.

1. I HATE not having a Dunkin' Donuts around here! They should get rid of the commercials for them in this area since we don't have any. It's like torture!

2. This guy is so unintelligent I don't even have words . . .

3. This Thursday night the ladies from our church are getting together at Chili's to have dinner and to do and Ornament Exchange. Sounds like fun. However, I think it's a bit early. Seems like we should at least wait til next month. Oh well. Now, do I dress Christmassy???

4. McDonald's often has special milk shake flavors for the different seasons/holidays. Shamrock, pumpkin, egg nog. I love the Shamrock. Actually I love them all. My question, however, is this. Why don't they do the same thing with their iced coffee? I would love to have some pumpkin iced coffee right now.

5. My Kiddo has been on a Gilligan's Island kick lately. Any of you have a three year old who watches TV shows from the 60's?

6. Has anyone ever been to Portland, Oregon? Anything interesting to do there? (Or maybe things to avoid?) I'll take any suggestions I can get. Thanks!

7. Went to see Couples Retreat this past weekend. I really liked it. The more I see Vince Vaughn the more I like him.

Happy Tuesday!!!

Random Tuesday Thoughts

It's Tuesday! yay! Time to be Random!!!

(Click the fun little box to play along.)

Let the fun begin!

1. So, Fruity Pebbles. Do all the red ones taste like one thing and all the yellow like another and all the blue like another? Or is the flavor just generally added to all the pieces? Has anyone ever picked out just the yellow to see what a spoonful of yellow Fruity Pebbles tastes like? (You said "random," I've got random.)

2. My Microwave must be dying because occasionally (last night while we were in bed, for example) it just starts randomly beeping. "Beep . . . beep . . . beep . . . beep beep beep beep beep beep . . . beep. It's ridiculous. Most of the time it stays unplugged unless I need it, or I forget to unplug it. But if I forget it usually lets me know. "Beep beep beep beep."

3. My Kiddo has a ton of toy balls. Big ones, little ones, squishy ones, plastic ones, bouncy ones, etc. However, there is one ball (which is, in fact, a bouncy ball) that for some reason he has a special name for. I always know he means that ball when he says "Where's my little thingy?" I have no idea how he came up with this name but it seems to only be reserved for this ball. Maybe it's his favorite.










The Kiddo and his "Little Thingy"
(He saw this post and said "It's my little thingy." This cracks me up for some reason.)

4. I may be about to go Pumpkin Crazy. I made a Pumpkin Pie the other day and now I'm ready for some Pumpkin pancakes and possibly some type of pumpkin coffee/cappuccino. Possibly some pumpkin bread too . . . anyone have any really good pumpkin recipes?

5. I've named my New Phone "Chloe." I wouldn't have thought to do that if I hadn't seen Cate do it first. (Meet Gwen.)I wanted to play too!
