~A Little Rundown~

I didn't realize how many days I didn't post here in the Pickle Journal until today...

Its been a few days and really, its been a few days since I've done a Real Perky Pickle Entry :)

 

So, what has been going on in the Pickle Jar, you ask?  Well... Let me tell you.

 

Last week, the inside of our house was painted.  If you look at the pictures in the previous entry, where Zachary is standing up at the door, you'll notice the Arizona Tan.  That color is all in the frontroom/dinning room/hallway.  I will take some pictures today after I get home to share tomorrow.  The colors are so rich and they truly make the house feel warm and inviting.  The wonders paint does to your home, I swear.  I will never again have White Walls.

Now, we only have our den, our room and bathroom, and Zach's room to paint to complete our house.  Those will probably be done by Derek and I... And I have no idea what colors we'll do either.  I go back and forth a lot with a light celery green in our room with a cream color in our bathroom.  But I am not too sure that Derek is too hot on those colors.  Although, he now does like color in our house...

I really want to do Zachary's room in blue camo.  I thought it would be cute to have a real "BOYS ROOM"... But I'm not sure if I have the patience to sit there and tape off all those different sections to do that.  I'm really not that talented either... lol.

And our den... Shoot, that is a whole other story.  Derek and I originally talked about that being a "pub" and doing Guiness colors (creamy yellow and black) but then he goes and changes his mind :X  Boys... So frustrating!

 

Hmm, what else has been going on??

 

Friday my mom and I went and got our hair done.  I really chopped into mine.  It was getting so out of control and heavy that I couldn't do anything with it.  It was permantely stuck in a "messy bun" at the back of my head.  Not fun.  So, I had her cut bunches of layers into it and make it lighter... Now I'm able to scrunch it up real good :)  Nice and Wild... Just how I like it ;)

Friday I also went to the local floral supply store to pick up red silk favor bags.  I had to put together favors for the bridal shower that is this next weekend...

Oh, did I mention that I'm in yet another wedding?? 

Well, I am.  Thankfully, the Maid of Honor is very stubborn and doesn't want much help.  Oh well.  Her loss.  I'll do as I am told and that is it... Nothing more.

So, I made 48 favor bags filled with Hersey Kisses.  I thought that was a pretty good idea for a bridal shower favor, but the MOH had other ideas... Ideas that I quickly SHUT DOWN. 

:)  I'm so evil...

 

Saturday night I went out with my friends Amy and Christie.  We didn't do or accomplish much.  Dinner at Applebee's and that is about it.  None of us wanted to go to a really late movie and there wasn't anything else going on, so I was home by 10pm.

The life and times of a married woman... Fun and exciting I tell ya ;)

 

Sunday morning the kiddos and I went with my friend Megan to the Pumpkin Patch.  But this pumkin patch isn't your normal pumpkin patch... Dell Osso farms in Lathrop, Ca. has this wonderful place with a Giant Corn Maze and tons of activities to do... It was fun and Rowan had a good time... Except for when we went into the Haunted House and she said "I want out I want out" the whole time.  Good thing Megan held her the entire time in there :)

Here are some pictures of our adventure at Dell Osso farms... Geeze, I'm full of Pictures today!!!
  
Rowan at the end of the Pumpkin Maze... The Pumpkin Maze is really corn stalks cut into the shape of a Pumpkin :)
  
Rowan in the Castle Jump House... They had this whole little section for the kids with two jump houses and other things.  She had a real good time in there :)
  
My Silly Girl... Hamming it up for her Auntie Megan :)
  
Zachary hanging out in the front pouch... I like to call it the Kangaroo Pouch... I on the other hand was caught in the picture... Eww :P
  
Here is another picture of my cutie-patootie boy... I am, thankfully, not in the picture this time :D

 

So, we had a good time there... I am sure we'll go back next year too.  I can't wait for Zach to really experience Halloween. 

 

Tonight Rowan has gymnastics!!  It should be fun because they all get to come dressed up in their Halloween costumes to take pictures and pass out candy to each other in the first part of class.  So, you know I'll have MORE pictures tomorrow.  lol.

I am also going to have to make a stop at Target.  I have Taxables that I need to get and stuff for Ro's gymanstic goodie bags.  Lets hope that I don't break any babyfood jars this time :)

 

Okay, that is pretty much it.  Life has been good in the Pickle Jar... Now I'm just waiting for nights that I can sleep all night long :)

 

Gotta run!
