Nope, Not Today

Nope Not Today
Photo-A-Day 2.0 #00293

I guess if I am going to get a decent photo on the weekend I’ll have to shoot it when I get home or something.

We changed things up a bit today and made it back to Sacred Heart Church. This has been our church forever and for the Summer we started going to St. Mark’s for 8am Mass. Now 5pm Mass is back at Sacred Heart so we are going to try that out. I, of course, did not set a proper alarm since I thought I’d easily be up before 4pm but I awoke at 4:45 and hustled over to Mass. Allison and the kids were out for the day and while Allison tried to call me I had the ringer off on my phone. Guess I’ll have to make sure I set an alarm next weekend.

Zak Designs sent us a two selections of character beverageware for free to celebrate Halloween. Opinions are our own.

A little while back Zak Designs asked if I would like to check out some of their new products for Halloween. They had them for Peanuts, Star Wars, Mickey Mouse, Little Monsters, Paw Patrol, or Harry Potter. I love Peanuts and nothing says Halloween to me like The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! I have to watch that every year. So I of course choose Peanuts. And we are a Harry Potter house so Harry Potter was my second selection. I received a whole bunch of great stuff for each fandom. We received two (2) Halloween mealtime sets that include a plate, tumbler, and water bottle and two (2) color change ceramic mugs.

Dragon Riding with my Peanuts Mug

Eva has been making cakes all day. She is working on her science fair experiment to see what makes a cake come out of the pan the easiest. She took her experiment and frosted it and made a Halloween cake so I had to show everyone my new costume for the year. I went with an inflatable one of a knight riding a dragon. But I sort of want to dress my top half like Lumberg from Office Space and carry around a mug like my color change snoopy one. That might be rather humorous.

Snoopy and cake

I love the little plates from Zak Designs. They are shaped like pumpkins and have fun designs on them. The Peanuts one has a Charlie Brown zigzag across it with Snoopy on it.

A Harry Potter Cake

For Eva’s birthday we did a combination of Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. I pulled out the Zak Designs Harry Potter Collection for her at her party so she could enjoy her cake on the adorable plate and enjoy milk in that cute tumbler, too. The kids will also each have water bottles to take to school or with them trick or treating.

If your child has a Fall birthday like my kids do then you often do themes around Halloween. With Zak Designs you have options to get plates and tumblers or eve water bottles that would make great goodie bag gifts plus they’d be better than cheap plates and cups.
