It's official, we're here! It sure is a task trying to explain to a four year old why the leaves on the trees change color in the fall. Short of calling it "magic", it is an interesting conversation to say the least!
Speaking of the outdoors, one of my team members and friends, Mandi Pelot came over last week to take our pictures of our family outside among the fall landscapes. She is so talented, so if you ever need anyone to take a family portrait, or other photo shoot, she is your gal! The pictures came out great, but I think one of our favorites was of Bennett, standing at the front door, with his pants hanging down at his ankles. He's at that age where 12 month clothes are barely fitting, but 18 months are WAY too big. So needless to say, we went with the 12 months for the family photos!
I am not a big Pinterest user, but I have to say, that a lot of what I see posted on Facebook from Pinterest is amazing! It seems that we may never run out of new ideas on how to decorate for each of the major holidays, or how to decorate a pumpkin. Its was actually funny last week, because the neighborhood kids saw our old pine cones in the garage that we use for winter decoration, and wanted to throw them around. Alec saw them and explained to them that they were "fragile" and were strictly for decorations. You should have seen the look on their face when he said "decorations". I just don't know what we'll do when we lose those 5 year old pinecones ;).
October is a little special for me personally, because it is my birthday. We are not going to do anything big for my birthday this year, but wanted to ask everyone, who lives in the area, if you have any special places you love that doesn't cost an arm and a leg! We have tried a few new places for special occasions the last few years, but have been a little let down. You know when you have that place you like, that you are comfortable with and go for special occasions? Well we have that place too, but we still want to try and sample what else the area has to offer. At the end of the meal though lately, we have been saying, we should have gone to Frankie's (in Tinley Park). If you haven't gone, we highly recommend it!
Speaking of my birthday, I want to offer some gifts to YOU! I want to give 20% off orders over $35 - from now up until my b-day (October 12th) and on my birthday, 35% off orders over $35. (If you are wondering what all the 35's are about, it's a clue. ;) ) If you book a party before the 12th, you will receive $150 in free product!! (offer extended for a limited time!!) Book your party today on my Facebook page at www.facebook.com/MaryKayLesleyK
or to place regular orders......
I will leave it at, but before I go, Aidan wanted to make sure I didn't leave him out. He wanted to let you know what he is going to be for Halloween, but he wants to give you some clues to see if you can guess what he's going to be!!! One of his favorite shows is Blue's Clues, a show on Nickelodeon, and Blue (the dog) gives 3 clues to everyone to guess the mystery. See if you can figure it out!
Here are Aidan's 3 Clues:
1) Orange
2) Nature lover
3) A little hairy
Happy Guessing!!! ( post your guesses on my Facebook page!)
Smiles,
Lesley (Alec, Aidan, and Bennett)
