So I have finally succumbed to peer pressure and decided to start a family blog. So here goes...last week was my birthday week and Halloween which means it was celebration time in the Fisher home. Anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE birthdays and I LOVE Halloween. So the fact that I get two events in one week means one big party! First came my birthday and we decided that instead of a traditional birthday celebration we would work to replace all the flooring on the main floor as my birthday present. I was thrilled! I have been wanting this for about 6 years now so this was a real treat for me! Patrick and I worked really hard and finished the floors on my birthday with the exception of a couple of baseboards (which are completed now). I was so happy, what a talented husband I have.

We had to do the floors in three stages. The last stage was the most difficult because it involved moving the fishtank. As you can see it was a messy job. We stored the contents of the tank in the bathroom and the rest of the tank remained in the hallway.



This is our dining area. We got pretty creative at meal time. Let's just say we ate out a time or two.


Leah enjoyed 'helping' her daddy work on the floors whenever she could.

Finished product!!!






Halloween!!!! Leah dressed up as Tinker Bell and Dillon dressed up at a Veterinarian. They were so excited to go out trick or treating this year. I wish I had it on video, it was the cutest thing. It is for moments like these that I remember why I love being a mom. Patrick and I joined in the festivities and dressed up as well. Patrick went as a gangster and I as Smurfette. (I dressed up as a beat up kickboxer for my kickboxing class but figured I would be too cold to trick or treat in shorts).








This is the Halloween cake that I made for a party the our family went to. It was so fun! I got the cake pans from a party store that I am absolutely in love with. I pratically live there.

I hope you all had a wonderful Halloween and stayed healthy and warm!


Love the Fisher's
