Have a Very Scary Halloween!

I hope you have the creepiest, scariest, most terrifying Halloween ever. Here's a little something to get you in the Halloween spirit.

Boo!

It Is Time...

Welcome to the holiday season, friends! Halloween marks the beginning of my absolute favorite time of year! It's also the time of year when the highly domestic side of me comes out. So, nights like tonight happen. Where I make these:

And I make this:

The caramel popcorn is DELICIOUS. Perfect as a snack or for those festive holiday parties I know you'll all start throwing. So, what? You want the recipe? Ok, I'll send you over to where I got it from.

Get ready for A LOT more blog posts like this one.

I Won't Grow Up

I see things like this and I say to myself, "I HAVE to have that."

I mean, come on. It has a tower with a rock-climbing wall. There's a secret room inside that can only be accessed through a hidden entry in the fireplace. AND the eyes in the portrait over the fireplace slide open so you can spy out of it! SERIOUSLY! Where was this when I was a small child? I mean, it's only about $7,000...

See? I'm Not the Only One...

So usually I include songs with my blog posts. This time I have a post solely about a song. I was listening to the radio yesterday and heard this song. I don't even like country music that much so it must have been destined that I hear this.

 

She was starin' out the window of their SUV 

Complainin', sayin', "I can't wait to turn eighteen" 

She said, "I'll make my own money and I'll make my own rules"

And she kissed her head and said, "I was just like you" 

You're gonna miss this 

You're gonna want this back 

You're gonna wish these days 

Hadn't gone by so fast. 

These are some good times 

So take a look around 

You may not know it now 

But you're gonna miss this 

 Clearly I've only made it past the graduating high school and moving on to college part, but it's good to know that it is ok to miss those times. Thanks for helping me feel better about that, Trace. 

 Feel better, Katie Walton? Me too.

I've Been Wondering...

Where in the world did the Texas Rangers Claw and Antlers come from? Since I was in Provo through their path to the World Series last year, it wasn't easy to track the evolution of these signs.

So, naturally, I Googled for the answer. And I found it. And I know some of you are wondering where it came from too because I asked you and you didn't know the answer. So, here's an article where you can read all about it.
