Lifestyles of the Not so Rich and Famous

Man have we been busy. But aren't most families. Life just doesn't slow down and take a break. Well life may not but our family did for once. This weekend we took off for our annual trip to the Winnie Rice Festival. We met up with some friends and dropped the kids off at Gammaw's and PeePaw's. We had a great time. We ate...ate...and ate. My favorite was the boudain balls and Hubs fav was the rice balls. The Hooders love love love pistolets. They were really good too. I don't think any of us ate anything we did not like. We stayed and watched a really good band then headed home. It was so hot out there. So excuse the pics we were all drenched in sweat.


We got new furniture courtesy of Phan Furniture Co. We love the new look in the living room. We feel so grown up now. The lovely blue sofa and and loveseat is now with another family. Most of you know that our house is the boneyard of my family's hand me down furnishings. I cannot and will not complain especially when we get really nice leather furniture.


The kids have been great. We are planning Bubby's 3rd birthday. It is so hard to believe that he is turning 3 in two weeks. He is going to have a Little Einsteins aka Rocket party. I ordered his invitations off Ebay. They are going to be so cute. We went down to a local Party warehouse today to get his partyware. But Little Einsteins has not come out with their party supplies yet. So we went generic with red plates and ballon napkins. I'm going to print some rocket images and use them to decorate. Plus I am going to have the lady who is doing the cake put a big rocket on it. Buggers is doing great. She is such a sweetheart. I got her costume today. She is going to be a Strawberry Fairy. I have made their costumes in Halloween's past. But I decided to be easy on myself and buy them. I saw a Buzz Lightyear today at Target that I may get for Bubby. I really want to let him pick his out. So I may take his this week and let him pick one out.




Hope everyone has a great week. Take in the outside this week. The leaves are changing and falling. The air is starting to smell crisp. And soon it will be sweater weather. My favorite!!!!!!
