Happy Halloween!

I love Fall! It is my favorite time of year! I love the craft shows and festivals, the cooler weather, and all of the pretty oranges reds and browns that come along with it! We have been trying for a few weeks to get Abby to the pumpkin patch. She has been sick and the weather has been yucky so last weekend was our first opportunity. We let her pick out her own pumpkin (already Miss Independent). She was a little distracted by all that was going on, but she found a good one. Daddy and I selected a few more too! I think next year will be better since she will be able to run around and play on all of the attractions.

This year will be Abby's first Halloween and I couldn't think of a more appropriate costume for her than a ladybug! It took me forever but I found the perfect one at Carter's! I used the pumpkins we picked out at the pumpkin patch and posed her in her costume for a photo shoot in the front yard. They came out sooo cute!

Cleaning, Packing, STRESSING!

I know I have not written anything in a while and I apologize for the delay. Things in the Hooks Household have gone from semi nuts to outrageously out of control in the last two weeks. 8 days from today we are scheduled to close on our first house!!! Yay and AHHHH!! We are so excited but it has been nothing but appointments and paperwork leading up to this point, and apparently we have still only scratched the surface! On top of that the company we are leasing our current house from wants to put it on the market to get it leased by the time we move out. AHHH! So last weekend we spent lots of hours packing the clutter in the house and cleaning cleaning cleaning so that the house looks acceptable for strangers to look at. If you know Brandon and I we are not neat freaks...it is a real challenge to keep the house "View Worthy" all the time now. Side Note: The house if for lease now. A 3/2/2 1590 sq. feet for $1050/ month! Tell your friends! And on top of that Abby is at home with a viral infection and a high fever that will probably last for close to a week. Double AHHH! So we are living it one day at a time right now.

If all this wasn't enough, my friend Melissa and I have decided to venture out and start a business on the side selling baby accessories and specialty stuff. We will have pacifier clips, daddy bags, wipes holder, specialty clothes, hair bows and holders, nap mats and blankets, and more! We are still in the process of launching the website, but keep checking it for updates.
