Halloween Flinstone Costumes

I am quite proud of these.  I made them all by myself.  Well, my Mom sewed BamBam's shorts, but I did the rest.  So much fun.  My Sweet Pea actually understood what we do on Halloween.  It took a couple of houses, but soon she didn't want to stop.  It was a great night.

Halloween Rice Krispies

So, I was going to make those cute rice crispy pumpkins this year, but I got a little impatient. I just wanted to eat the rice krispies. What really happened was Orange Rice Krispies with mini Chocolate Chips spread out ontop. Oh so yummy anyway.

Hee Haw Farms Utah

A couple of weeks ago, we went to Hee Haw Farms in Utah County. I thought that my little Sweet Pea would think it was so much fun. I was wrong. That day was just NOT her day. She didn't want to walk around anywhere. And it took us 10 minutes to get her to go over to the animals. (she normally LOVES animals) After a while, we did get her to walk around, but we didn't stay very long. So sad.

I tried to get her to go on the animal train ride. She would have none of that.

A straw Teepee. I'm not exactly sure what this was for.

A really big slide. We did get Sweet Pea to go down it. The slide ended up being the only thing she wanted to do more than once.


Here are some of the animals:
Cows

A Goat. It would climb up onto this tower and eat.




Pigs

This was the little tikes Maze. Mini hay bales so the little kids could maneuver themselves through easily. Sweet Pea didn't want to do that alone either.

Hee Haw Farms overall was okay. I didn't LOVE it. There were sections of the farm where we were meant to walk through that were filthy. For example, they had dead Sunflowers and smashed pumpkins, rotting gourds and squash. I know it's a farm, but it is still an attraction they have created and they should keep it cleared and clean. I left wishing we had spent the extra money going to Cornbelly's up at Thanksgiving Point. I guess next year we will go to Cornbelly's

Take Your Breath Away

I saw this image yesterday on I'm an Organizing Junkie. It really took my breath away and I wanted to share it with you. Enjoy.

The Weight of the Summer

Can't you feel it? The weight of the summer bearing down on you? I sure can. It's over. The fall air is blowing in. New beginnings. I know, I know. Everyone talks about new beginnings in January. Making "new year resolutions." What about 1/2 year pick-me-ups?

That's how I feel; like I need a pick-me-up. I don't start school this year. I'm not working or getting ready to go back to work for the season. I don't have a child beginning school. It just feels like blah. It feels like the wonders of Summer have all come crashing down and now there is no way to push them off of me.

There is something missing. I just can't put my finger on it.
