i love knock knock notepads!
when people come to my house, they always ask where i got my what to eat notepad.
i love their notepads because they are very practical, or very humorous if that is what you are looking for.
a few of my favorites are the, what to eat, crap pad, cook this pad, all out of pad, social media citation pad, passive aggressive pad, and the apology pad.
seriously, check them out. there are some really funny ones.

all i know is, that i am soooo glad it’s the weekend. this week has been cra-zy sauce.
here’s to relaxing… (yeah right)
well, at least our costumes are ready. my children are beyond obessed with pirates, so the choice was obvious.
i gathered items from thrift stores for the last few weeks for our costumes. their costumes were super easy to put together.
ezra’s costume
pants- thrift store, cut jagged at the bottom
white button up shirt- thrift store, cut off the collar, and cut the arms jagged
black vest- from thrift store, replaced the black buttons with big gold ones from hobby lobby.
belt- found a belt his size at a thrift store, then replaced the buckle with a gold one (also thrifted).
red bandana- red fabric from hobby lobby
black knee high church socks- little girls section at wal-mart
converse shoes- nordstroms
clip on earring- ebay
daggar and pirate gun- honks dollar store
pirate jewelry- i made, and gold chains from thrift store
mustache- the typical black halloween make-up kept coming off, so eventually i used black electrical tape, worked great!
norah’s costume
dress- the cutest pirate style dress, i found two years ago at a thrift store and couldn’t resist buying it… it was perfect for her “pirate princess ensemble.”
black boots- payless
red sash- thrift store
white tights- wal-mart
gold necklace- thrift store
gold clip on earrings- ebay
daggar and pirate gun- honks dollar store
disturbing enough, i was able to find everything i needed for my costume in my own closet…? is that bad?
we hope you have a great halloweek-end!
we’ll be playing pirates!
