i had serious guilt about it.
but it was so delicious..jpg)

they may fight but they really are good friends. Â .jpg)
i gave more haircuts…. it never ends.
their hair just grows and grows.
but if i cut it then that is one less appointment i am running to, late to or miss.
and of course… cheaper.  🙂.jpg)
i made an apple pie.
it wore me out standing the kitchen making that darn thing.
they were tiny apples so i have to hand cut them all (no peeler/corer/slicer)
and then it didn’t even taste that great.
blah… that is the part about cooking that ticks me off.
all that work and it not being as awesome as you had hoped or thought it would be.
craig liked it so that is good at least..jpg)
halloween costume shopping.
we stopped in a shop in wichita called The Yard just to peek around.
my kids were so excited about these street signs and wanted to buy them.
i talked them out of it for the time being saying it should be something that was significant to them..jpg)

then we walked out to the back and there was the Armour street sign.
i almost cried. Â My grandma lived on Armour for entire life. Â I said “Now THIS would be significant!”
we didn’t get it but it was a sweet little moment for me.
the store was pretty cool… such odd things there… kind of a junk shop/hardware store?
the wall of cording was pretty fabulous..jpg)
bowling with the kids and Chili’s for dinner.
good times.
do you have plans this weekend?
what are you doing…. does it involve donuts?
Lisa Risse - Where did you get the minion hats? I LOVE them and so would my girls, who are 12 and 9. We all LOVE despicable me and those stink’in cute minions! I’d appreciate knowing if I can get the hats for gifts for them! Thanks!
Tiffany - Oh, those donuts look so good! Good for you for treating yourself! I wish you would have bought that sign. If i didn’t live a few states away I’d go there and buy it for you! 🙂
Christy - Today started early with my son’s school fun run. Afterward, my husband and son went hunting for youth weekend. My oldest daughter is with my MIL for the weekend. So, it’s just my little girl and me. We headed to church for Christmas pageant rehearsal after the fun run, then went to Jason’s Deli for a lunch date. We had homemade hotdogs with plain bread (because I forgot the hotdog buns)for supper, and now we are chillin’ out on the couch watching movies. 🙂 I’ll be working on my blog makeover homework while we chill. Have a good weekend!
Tanya - No donuts this weekend, but the kids did come home to ghost butter cookies from a local cupcake shop yesterday :)…far too expensive but worth it!
It’s cold and rainy here this weekend and my sister and I are heading to see an art exhibit this aft. Happy weekend 🙂
Nanette - Love the minion hats! I am attempting a “do it yourself” minion costume for my 4 year old this Halloween!
Sara Torbett - Your doughnut looks delicious! I haven’t had one in at least a year. Not because I’m super healthy-we just don’t live close to any places that are convenient!
The Yard looks like such a unique, fun place! I always like seeing what you’re up to with your kids….mine are still so little (which I love), it’s fun to see what it might be like to have older kids too. This weekend we’re having a little fall party and spending time on our farm. I’m hoping for a s’mores.
beth - maybe? I adore a fresh raised glazed donut- always the one I choose!
don’t feel guilty for eating one- life is short- make it sweet!!!
cindy - Where did you find those cute minion hats the girls were wearing?
Michelle Whitlow - Too funny that you mentioned donuts…I just stopped today to pick up Krispy Kreme. I felt guilty eating one, too…but man it was good!!!
Andrea - The girls’ Minion hats are amazing!
Tammy - My dad used to take me to The Yard with him when I was young. The place has been there forever!!! What a fun place, you never know what you will find. The street signs are great-may need to check those out.
Alice H - We are playing our last youth football game on Saturday night. Next year we will be in school ball. So I bet I will shed a few good tears! And I am making beef stew for dinner on Sunday!!!
April R - Your kids smiles made me smile.
And I’m so glad I’m not the only one that feels that way about cooking!
My boys are going camping with Boy Scouts (no horrible rock tipping involved)
My daughter and I are going to see my grandmother.
We call her BeeBelle (her name is Belle) and there may be pound cake involved 🙂
Kerri - Where is The Yard? Newton? Wichita? Looks very interesting. And I can never pass up a donut – Casey’s are yummy. (Cannot stand those solid sugar lumps called Krispy Kreme…)
Breenah - I giggle every time I drive by The Yard because Hiland is right across the street and it reminds me of the song “My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard.” My husband always just shakes his head at me.
Tiffany - I had to chuckle a bit about the donut. I rarely get a hankering for sweet. Usually, I’m all about salty, or fried foods, wings, fries, egg rolls, onion rings, chix tenders. But this morning the coffee/donut/gas station called me. I had a glaze and it was fabulous, lick ur fingers fabulous, gone before I made it back to the car 🙂 Have a great weekend.
leah faye - It is so weird seeing places I recognize on someone elses blog! Looks like a fun day!
I have been giving myself, my boyfriend, and even my dog haircuts for about a year. It saves sooo much money!

danielle - I have been wanting a donut but I want a really good one and I keep not buying one thinking I will be dissapointed. I am odd. I get to have a mom’s day out on Saturday! I have been recovering from being my husbands crew for a 100K he did. He did awesome but I drove to meet him every three hours with my 5 and 7yr old. All night. I think I have still not recovered and he did all the work!
Suzanne - I LOVE it when you post pictures from Drubers Donuts! I worked there while in college. The owners then were the best second parents I could ask for while away from home. And the peanut butter donuts are wonderful! My roommates would beg for me to bring them home. 🙂 Have a great weekend!
rebecca - Donuts are the BEST!!!! Going to memphis for a quick getaway!
stephany - The kids are off from school today, so we are going to work on their halloween costumes. Ryan will be out of town tonight and tomorrow, so I will take the kids to soccer and then we will probably just hang out…I like to be mellow on the weekends and Ryan likes lots of plans, so I’m going to take the opportunity to just be mellow with they kids…I think they need it and I KNOW i need it!
Happy Friday!
Kristin S - No guilt, Meg!
You are beautiful. Food is not bad. Sweets are not bad. It’s OK to splurge. You didn’t overindulge. You are fearfully and wonderfully made and under no condemnation!
OK, preaching over. 🙂
Jill - so I’ve read your blog for a while but have never commented. BUT Drubers.donuts. Oh my word – so yummy. I have lots of great memories of late night trips to that donut shop to get fresh hot donuts when I went to college in your sweet little town. The PB one was my FAV. mmmmmmmm.
colleen from Alabama - Actually, my plans do include donuts! I am going to do these fun little fang monsters from the blog eighteen25. I have a HS girls Bible study in addition to my 2 kids who will think these are AWESOME. I have no affiliation with this blog but here is the link… you may just have to have donuts AGAIN!?! Do y’all have Krispy Kreme? I’ve noticed you have different looking donuts from theirs. OH MY, they are addictive! BEST ever!

Cynthia - I’ve heard so many great things about this pie: Ultimate Plush Pippin: Deep Dish Apple Pie, 40 oz (Walmart). Maybe it’s worth a try? If it’s fabulous, that should move me closer to the top of the Craft Weekend list, right? Happy Friday 🙂
