Halloween

Clay was super excited to go trick or treating tonight!  He pulled all of his costumes out of the dress up box first thing this morning, but didn't want to wear any of them, so we popped into Kmart and he chose a doctor costume (he already had the doctor bag).  He said he wanted to be a scary (zombie) doctor, but when we went to buy the face paint he changed his mind LOL  This was our first time trick or treating (Craig and I aren't big fans of Halloween, but it appears Clay LOVES it LOL), so we were just going to pop over to Molly's to see her house and trick or treat there, but Clay wasn't scared of the decorations, so we decided to drive around and visit a few more houses (we had a list of houses off FB).  Clay had an absolute ball- he loved seeing all the other kids in costume and wasn't scared of the spooky decorations at all.  We finished off the night in mum's suburb, so dropped in to show her his costume (and lolly stash).  We had one very happy little boy who has informed us that next year we are decorating our house lol

Road Trip To Hervey Bay

We had no plans yesterday, so decided to take a drive to Hervey Bay for the day.  The weather wasn't the greatest, but we decided to risk it anyway.  First stop was a quick visit to the scrapbook shop to buy some goodies, then off to the waterpark for a splash.









After Clay had finished his play, we headed to Hog's Breath for a delicious lunch.  Clay was excited to find it was decorated for Halloween :)






We popped into the shopping centre for a look, then decided to head home as it had started to rain.  It was a quick trip, but lots of fun and we will hopefully do it again next month :)

Everyday Moments

Cute earrings from Stomping Elephants.  I was going to wear the caravan set camping, but forgot to pack them LOL


Flowers from Craig for our anniversary.


The chocolate shop has a new window display- Halloween- Clay's favourite!


My cuttings a slowly growing :)


Craig and I had lunch by the river on my Friday off - pretty view 


Kmart's new range of serving ware makes my heart happy!  I managed to find the salad bowl and servers at my local store and Kristy brought me the tray and seving board from her local store. Now to have a party and use them ;)




I LOVE acrylic brooches!  I dont usually buy them though because I'm not sure how to style them, but when I saw this one online cheap at Ali Express I HAD to have it ;)

Today was Book Week dress up day at school! Clay was very excited to go in his astronaut costume he had picked (I outsourced costume design to Kmart lol) and with the book we had found last week at the op shop.
