spaghetti tacos

Last night Layla said, "What's for dinner?" and I said, "Tacos!"

 Layla and Hayden have been on an iCarly binge.  These two munchkins will pick a tv show and watch every single episode from start to finish.  Kinda like what Gary and I did with Breaking Bad and Justified.  Our binges aren't quite as annoying as iCarly.  I just have to leave the room sometimes when they're binging.  Those characters are cray cray, but in a good way.

Why am I telling you this?  

I'm telling you this because Spencer, Carly's crazy older brother served spaghetti tacos.  Doesn't that sound amazing yet interesting?  

When I told Layla we were having tacos she asked if we had spaghetti sauce and pasta.  We did and as you can see this was their dinner. I actually passed on the spaghetti taco, but they cleaned their plates!  Yay!  I'm not posting a recipe because it's pretty simple, and as usual I always sneak zuccini into the meat sauce.  

Now you....go make spaghetti tacos!

movie time!

The kids didn't have school today, so last night we went to Movie Tavern to see Goosebumps.

Guess who got scared and left the movie right in the middle??  Not me, but I took the scared rabbit to the lobby where we sat at the bar and had a cup of ice water.  Good grief, and then HE put the movie on his Christmas list and wants to see the rest of the show.  I have to admit a garden gnome invasion was a little creepy y'all!  And that's all I'll say about the movie.

We were shopping and these two sillies were touching the candy at the checkout line.  Why do kids insist on touching stuff all the time?  Ages 10 and 7 and still grabbing candy from the huge assortment on the checkout line shelves. And you think they had outgrown that...NOT! ;-)

  They have bags of Halloween candy and they still insist on asking for us to buy them more candy. Lordy Lordy.  Of course I used this as a time to snap a few pictures of these silly faces!

These two had a fun day!  Layla and her nasty teeth...yuck! 

Layla decided to dress up as an emoji!

And Hayden is a Baylor Bear football player!  I loved each of their costumes and think they're perfect for them!

We went to a party in the neighborhood and then Layla went to a party with her friends in another neighborhood.  It's the first year she didn't Trick or Treat with us.   I know she had fun with her friends though!

She came home with TONS of candy.  Gosh, it's crazy and awful.  Candy will drive me crazy y'all!

Hayden wanted to Trick or Treat with a little girl (just a friend) from down the street.  We had a fun time going up and down the streets.  Hayden got enough candy after two streets and he was ready to go home and watch football!

I ordered his costume and he was able to chose his number, so he picked #1 for his favorite Baylor football player.

We got home and he laid down to look at his candy and did a few candy angels.  I laughed so hard!!  He's in bed now and we're waiting for Layla to get home,  Her party ended at 11:00 and she's heading home!  Doesn't that seem late for a 5th grader?  She's been with a group of friends and I know she's had a big time fun Halloween and I'm sure she's as tired as I am!

fall camp out in the park

Our neighbors and friends have been talking to us about the fall camp out for months.  Every year in October everyone pops their tents in the park and camps for the night. I lost count of how many tents there were.  It was crazy y'all!!  The kids were so excited!!

I was in awe of all the tents covering the huge grassy park area.  Everyone had tables filled with food and fire pits galore.  The kids went to each tent Trick or Treating and then after dark a movie screen played Casper and we all lit our fire pits.  It was so much fun!  

Gary and I met many more neighbors and it seems like everyone had a fun time.  Our kids got to run wild in a safe environment, so that was good for them and their independence.  

The four of us ended up going to sleep a little after midnight.  I was worried about the sleeping arrangement and getting some shut eye because of the noise.  We were all so tired though that we fell fast asleep.  It was almost like the sound of the other campers talking and moving about was like white noise.  We always camped in our pop-up trailer, so I'm not all that fond of sleeping on the ground!  Ouch!  My back is sore, but maybe next year we'll invest in a few air mattresses.  Funny thing, a man was passing out cards for discount chiropractic care.  He was spot on with that!!  I totally need to visit the chiro after a night on the ground, but it was totally worth it in the end!

When you want to stick your face in the Halloween candy bowl,

you make a chocolate and peanut butter protein drink instead!

It really did taste like Reese's peanut butter cup!
