Friday Favorites {#231}

Hello and happy Friday! Happy November 1st.

Besides October, November is another favorite month of mine. The weather finally gets cooler, it’s the kids’ birthday month, and Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays!

How was your week? Ours was pretty good. We didn’t have a ton going on in the evenings which was nice. I feel like it made the week feeling longer…in a good way.

As always, I’m linking up with Andrea and Erika for this week’s Friday Favorites.

Here are some favorites from the week:

Last Saturday, Hayden ran in the regional cross country race. This the last stop before the state meet.

It’s been a long but good season for him. He’s had some frustrating races and ones that he’s really proud of his progress. I do think it’s been a huge adjustment for him running varsity, and he’s close to logging 1,000 miles this year.

He’s been going to PT a few days a week for his hip, so I’m hoping that’s feeling better for him for the state meet.

We’re always proud of his effort and dedication. At the regional race, there are only seven runners per team, so it was nice that the course wasn’t so crowded. His team placed 3rd in the region, so that’s quite the accomplishment as well.

You know we lost the one tree in our yard, but the other one is still so pretty. I snapped this pic of the kids after church on Sunday, and I love it.

Guess what….as of yesterday, all of those leaves are on the ground.

On Sunday, I bought some new mums. My other ones didn’t last very long, and these two color ones from Kroger were a good price and so pretty.

I put my spider webs out and put my little skeletons in the mums. Festive and cute!

When my mom was in town, she helped the kids put together this “spooky” house that my Gma sent with her. I put two flameless tea lights under it, and it’s so cute lit up.

Sunday night, Hadley went to her Young Life group, and they painted this cute pumpkin.

On Monday, Hadley and friends helped at their former elementary school’s trunk or treat. They said they saw some of their former teachers and other friends they knew. Hadley was a Dalmation (she was hot, so not all the way zipped up at this moment) to her friend’s fireman. Hayden went too, but he couldn’t go until later.

Wednesday night, my heart was so happy. We had mummy dogs and macaroni and cheese brains before…

…carving pumpkins.

Hadley’s Chick-fil-A idea turned out so cute, and Hayden carved a skeleton (with a little help from Travis and me!)

Fave Outfit:

I snagged the “Lucy” scalloped pullover from SSYS, and I got so many compliments when I wore it this week. Some colors and sizes are sold out, but there are still a few color/size combos left.

Fave Meme:

‘Tis the season for all the things!

Favorite Mom Meme:

Relatable!

Bonus Fave: Flashback Friday

This time of the year, I always reminiscence about all the fun (and cute!) costumes the kids wore though the years…

Weekly Recap:

I had a few posts from the week:

What are your weekend plans? I’m grateful for a pretty slow weekend…and I’m one of the ones who loves to “fall back.” I know it’s crazy, but I like when it gets darker earlier and lighter out when we wake up.

Have a great fall weekend!
