Halloween decor

It's the eve of Halloween and I am so excited about the holidays! I am finally posting my holiday decor photos. I didn't put everything out this year, I felt like keeping it simple.

My wreath from last year sits at the front door:




Here's my Halloween village. I tried to get a better shot and this is really the best that I could do. This year I bought a base for the village:





And, of course, my Sweetheart added Darth Vader:

My B-O-O frame with my chrome ghost:

My witch shoes and my witch plate:

My seasonal frame:


The skeleton in the cake stand:






I thought this was cute, I printed the date and framed it:



I love this Beware sign:



And one of my favorites, the witch shoes:



(the jar was filled with candies but my nephews came in and ate most of it)



And I adore this cute little coffin that I got at Hobby Lobby:


My scary cat from last year:




Happy Halloween!

Game 3, Cards vs. Steelers

We knew going in that it would be a tough game. But still, I had hoped for a win. The end score was 32-20, Pittsburgh.

Outside of the loss, we had a great time. There were so many Pittsburgh fans at the game, it was truly unbelievable. The Red Sea had turned yellow on one side of the stadium. While the other side had yellow specs throughout. The fans were many, but they were nice and respectful.

Prayer before the game, always warms my heart:



The coin toss:




There's big Ben:

#86 Hines Ward:



#43 Troy Polamolu, he was pretty fierce:

Kevin and the guys:



Some in action shots:



Our seats:





We take on the St. Louis Rams on November 6th. Let's go Cardinals!









Spooky



Well, not really. It's a more cute than spooky. But that's more my style, spooky and I don't really agree. :)


I can not believe it is one week until Halloween. I have had my Halloween decor out since October 1st. It's been so busy in the Paw Prints household that I have not had a chance to take pictures, download and post. It's been C-R-A-Z-Y busy! My goal is to get my pictures posted by next weekend....we'll see how that goes.


Meanwhile, I found this site called "Beeclip" where I can make collages. I've always been a fan of collages so when I found this I was thrilled. I'm wanting to collage the heck out of every single picture I have. Which I won't do, but I seriously want to.

Naboo

Boo Boo has a hard time with pictures. She won't sit still and smile like Grievie does. She spots me with the camera and immediately runs to me.

These are pretty cute shots of her:

Randomness

I was under the weather this weekend. What I thought was allergies turned into a very nasty cold. My Sweetheart spent all weekend catering to me and trying to make me comfortable.

We spent Sunday watching football all day. Grievous and my Sweetheart always sit together:


This happens to be Grievie's favorite TV watching position:



Naboo loves to lay her body in her bed and her head on the cool floor:


Just a typical Sunday at our house!

Manager's Choice Award





We had our annual awards ceremony this week at work. And for the second time, I was the recipient of the Manager's Choice Excellence Award! I was so excited and feel so honored to have been chosen. I am one of those people that are really motivated by such recognition. So I'm pretty much on cloud nine....

Game 2, Cards vs. Giants

Game day is always a blast! Game two of the at-home regular season was this past Sunday. We were up against the NY Giants and I knew it would be a tough game. Kickoff was at 1:10 and we got to the stadium parking lot at 10:00 a.m. and were ready to tailgate!

I have a difficult time remembering to take pictures of everything. I asked my Sweetheart to remind me to take photos. I think I did a little better this time.

We started off with out tailgating in the Green-F lot. As we get there, fans are already set up and ready to start the tailgate party:



These guys were set up across from where we were set up. They are hard-core tailgaters. They had the neatest set-up with a misting system, and a sweet cooking station. They were really nice and invited us over to party with them:

These guys were our neighbors to the right. They were having a blast; hanging out, drinking beer, eating and tossing around the football:

Here's my Sweetheart:
Inside the stadium, I took some pre-game pictures. This is the only exciting one. That's Eli Manning:
Some field action. There's Larry Fitzgerald,#11, on the far right:


More field action:
Pictures of the Giants:



We have pretty decent seats:






So, I've determined that I need to take more pictures. Also, when I take a picture, I need to know why I'm taking the picture so I can properly caption it....

Here's me and my Sweetheart in our Cards gear:


We lost the game. It was 31-27. It was close game, down to the last couple of minutes. It is heartbreaking to say the least.

Next game is against the Steelers on October 23rd. Let's go CARDS!
