So much marvelous in every day of my life. Marvelous is waking up, being healthy, being grateful, and loving my loved ones every day.
Marvelous is all of my wonderful readers that inspire me, make me smile, and bring me much happiness every single day. Thank You!
Remember, anyone can join in on this marvelous fun! No certain guidelines, just share anything marvelous that you would like! I appreciate all the support every Monday and I love reading all of your posts!
Let me get my marvelous on and share marvelous stuff from my weekend…
Marvelous was getting takeout chinese instead of going out on Friday night. Mike and I were going to go to P.F. Changs but decided being at home was more of what we wanted to do, live each day like you want!
We ordered bean curd, our favorite place with great food!
We both got hot and sour soup, one of my favorite soups!
I rolled with chicken lettuce wraps, I need to make these at home myself. I love them so much!
Mike got a chicken and veggie stir fry!
Our words on the back of our fortune from our cookies were hilarious….
So not words to describe us! Ok we can be cheap sometimes, but hey, you have to be!
My bedtime snack that night was frankenberry, I ate my bowl of yum while reading the comics on the back of the box.
Saturday Marvelous….
We were so excited for trick or treating! We had the candy all ready for the kids and we actually ran out! We bought 3 big bags, gone! So many kids! We felt bad when there was still 45 minutes left and we had to go in our house and hide! Was so funny, because we all were being so quiet when the doorbell would ring and we had the house all dark.
My trick or treat outfit and my pumpkin I painted!
I painted a hello kitty, it turned out ok! We actually should of used a way smaller pumpkin, but oh well!
First halloween at our house and first trick or treat!
We had so much fun! The boys had fun playing football while we were out there too. Handsome guys
Anthony didn’t go trick or treating this year, he is too cool, ha! I wanted him to go just so he could get candy for Mike and I, but nope!
Oh and I made some AWESOME chicken chili cheese soup for us in the crock pot for our dinner and we all agreed it rocked! I will share the super easy recipe tomorrow!
What is a holiday without cookies?
I always love to bake some kind of sweet for the holidays, this was the winner last night.
Sunday was just a lazy day around here so no pics to share from that! We were bums all day, nothing wrong with that!
Happy Monday friends! I am off to do some MARVELOUS grocery shopping! Can’t wait to read your posts!

i should have known you’d paint your pumpkin hello kitty! so cute!!
Looks like such a fun weekend! Love the hello kitty pumpkin! We had a ton of trick or treaters at the mall on Halloween when I was working! We ran out of candy too and I felt so bad!! Looks like you had the perfect halloween!
Haha I love your Hello Kitty pumpkin!
And that takeout looks delicious. I haven’t had Chinese takeout in years because it’s so hard to find places that are careful about their use of nuts. There was one place I used to be able to eat at (that closed down) that had the most amazing orange chicken – I miss it!
I’ve never seen trick or treat on a weekend and during the afternoon! That sounds fun though! Sitting outside and handing out the candy is very cute! I hope I get a chance to hand out some candy next year! (:
love your hello kitty pumpkin, and you! happy belated halloween!
I love your sweatsuit, it’s so cute!
I love your hello kitty pumpkin! So happy you and mike got to hand out candy together, I can’t wait to do that with Josh when we have a house someday!
Looks like a great weekend! I was going to say you should have sent Anthony out trick-or-treating so you would have more candy to hand out..
Happy Monday!!! Miss you!!
Miss you! Miss in LOVE!
hehehe!
Looks like a fun weekend! Trick-or-treating on Saturday?
Yes! It was supposed to be Wednesday but got re-scheduled because of weather!
That’s so neat that the kids still got to trick-or-treat!
Yes! I was happy they did!
you are too cute and so is your pumpkin!! I love those sugar cookies so good and soo easy!
Easy and delish, two great things!
I love all these marvelous moments! what a treat!
Thanks Alex!
LOVE your outfit! Too cute, and you!
awww bummer he didn’t go lol me and my sister went for the longest time.. even now we joke about me dressing up like a little kid and her as the Mom but it never happens hahaha
Haha! I love it! Hey free candy can make you want to do crazy things!
There is SO much marvelous here! Love it all! First, your HK pumpkin is adorable and absolutely perfect for you! Since you didn’t carve it, it will probably last for a few months. Maybe you can accessorize it with Christmas clothes/hair pieces? ;-p
I love you and your love for Frankenberry cereal! I haven’t tried it, but any colorful cereal makes me happy. I’m currently obsessed with Cinnamon Chex, which are an ugly brown, but taste sooo yum.
The Chicken Chili looks amazing! Post that recipe soon! LOVE YOU!! xoxo
Ahh those chicken lettuce wraps look divine!! I’ve always wanted to make homemade versions of those, too.
Also, LOVE the Pillsbury sugar cookies! It it just me or is it hard to not just want to eat the cookies in their dough form…?!
I know, I really should! I have seen the sauce packs you can buy at the store!
Haha. I love the back of the Frankenberries… Even though I can’t eat mainstream cereal anymore, I LOVE looking at the back of my brother’s cereal boxes.
And that chicken veggie stir-fry looks amazing. Did it have a sauce? It looks kind of like the Moo Goo Gai Pan that I used to get from a local Chinese restaurant. My favorite!
Yes, I feel like I love cereal here and there, but lately it has been not so much a love for me! I did enjoy the frankeberries though!
Yes, it did have a sauce on the side, it was a white sauce so hard to see!
What a fun family weekend! I’m going to have to link up one of these weeks… I love the Marvelous Monday posts that I read. Such a great way to kick off the week!
Yes you should for sure! <3
Happy week to you!
Your soup looks yummy! Glad you had a good Halloween..you guys are so cute!
Thanks girl! Hope your weekend was great!
I’m glad you had such a great weekend, Katie!<3
Thanks love! Any weekend spent with my loved ones is a great one!
Makenzie would flip over your pumpkin! She is currently Hello Kitty obsessed. Which always makes me think of you.
Awwww how sweet! I love it!
What a fun filled holiday weekend! It looks like you guys had a ton of fun!! I’m glad the neighbours still had the chance to go out trick-or-treating even though the weather wasn’t the best on actual Halloween:) Too bad Anthony is too cool for it now ha ha. Your pumpkin is the sweetest thing ever, love it! And obviously chili is the best way to eat after Halloween celebrating!
Can’t believe Anthony didn’t want to go trick or treating! Pretty sure I still went in high school…but hey, I’ll do pretty much anything for candy.
I know! I was bummed : p
Yum! I love Chinese delivery – I always get the hot & sour soup too!
What a fun Halloween & your trick or treat outfit looks soooo comfy. Thanks so much for hosting MIMM!
Hot and sour soup is SO good!

Looks like such a fun Halloween weekend! I love lettuce wraps btw, yummm!
You are too cute with your Hello Kitty pumpkin & pink girly skull outfit. Looking at your Chinese food pics makes me hungry!! I’ve had wicked Chinese cravings all weekend & ordered Chinese take-out on Sunday for lunch… chicken & veggies, plus an egg roll of course!
I could eat chinese food every day I think, I just love it!
Haha you would make a hello kitty pumpkin
