{Giddy}

Let's start the week off with a Giddy List, shall we.!?

* I LOVED conference yesterday. There was so much in it that I felt was said just for me. I can't wait for the Ensign to come out. Re-reading some of the talks will make me so giddy.

* We had a nice and calm weekend. No drama! I am so giddy about that. It doesn't seem to be very often that one of the kids can keep from doing something so totally crazy that it's seems impossible to be happening to me............again!

* Slumber Parties make me very giddy. We had another one on Saturday, this time with Daddy.

* These little Mummy Dogs made us all very giddy.

* This Spider Web chocolate Chip Cookie with cream cheese frosting made us all giddy too!

* The cute free recipe cards from Target make me giddy. I love making Halloween themed foods! Go check out your Target to see if they have them. Mine were up front by one of the doors!

* We took a Sunday drive up the canyon yesterday with hot chocolate. This made me giddy. And seeing all the leaves in beautiful colors of red, orange, yellow and purple was the icing on the cake. I love living somewhere that has plenty of places to take Sunday drives. We used to do it all the time when I was a kid, and I loved it. Now I get to do it with my kids, and they loved it too.

* I think my new hair color makes me giddy. I haven't decided yet. We went darker, but I think I may go in in a few weeks and add a few golden highlights to lighten it up a bit. But for now, I am giddy to not have to deal with the up-keep of my blond hair.

* Adding rat silhouette's to my entry way made us all giddy. It was a fun project for us to do, and I think it was just what that staircase needed.

* My family is coming up this weekend for Blaise's Baptism. This makes me oh so giddy!

* This adorable little shirt I made for Ava makes me giddy. I got this corduroy on sale for $9 for 2 yards, so I made up this top pattern (it was supposed to be a dress, but it was too short, so I made it a top, and I LOVE IT! I guess that is why people use patterns, to make sure it comes out right, I am just not a pattern or recipe girl. I like to make it my own way!) I have enough material to make something else too. I love fall clothes! I am also giddy that her hair finally fits into a Pony Tail. Isn't she the cutest?

* Doing crafts with the kids makes me giddy. I called them a bunch of "craft maniacs" yesterday, and Caiden heard "Crap maniacs" so he looked at Blaise and said very seriously "Geez, I thought we were having fun!" That kid cracks me up.

* Having a wonderful weekend and a new start to a new week makes me giddy. Last week was tough, but I am hopeful that this week will be MUCH better. I will start it off happy and with a grateful, happy heart!

What made you giddy this weekend?

I am still laughing at what Caiden thought you said. At such a young age he knows crafts are crap lol just kidding! I am glad you had a good weekend, I am sure thats hard sometimes with 3 little munchkins. I bet they love how your going all out for halloween. We all know kids love that holliday, heck and adults too.

I loved conference too and can't wait for the Ensign. The pictures of all the fall colors are so beautiful. Very cute shirt you made for Ava. I am so impressed you just whipped that up without a pattern. I barely know how to sew a pillow. You are one talented woman! Oh, I think your hair color is very pretty.

I love your Monday morning giddy lists! I LOVE your hair!!! You look good in any color and that is perfect for you and for fall. Ava looks SO cute! I love it when girls hair is long enough for a pony tail! Awesome job on her top, TOO cute!

The food looks so cute and yummy! Your entry way is SPOOK-TACULAR!!! I LOVE Ava's shirt and ponytail, too cute! That canyon is beautiful, love all the pretty colors. I like your new hair color too, it already sort of looks like you have highlights. I was giddy this weekend to have family from both sides in town and to have my new little family home happy and healthy.
