some stuff since august part II

before i go on, today is voting day!

...very proud i did.

now, continuing on from where i left off.

we get back from lovely la, back to our hectic lives.

missed the kids terribly.

..i got my craft on:

..ended up wiping it clean and selling the plates to a local tattoo artist who loved the original design. as you can see, they were very, very pretty.

met up with some buddies at our local orchard.

..we were originally there to pick up pumpkins. it was vegas, so we were dying from the heat in the first hour. we didn't make it to the pumpkins. 

got some girl time in with erin at the renaissance fair.

..it was my first time and i loved it. the stuff they sell there is awesome! and i had fun with all the game of thrones talk. even though erin and i were the only vikings there. whoops.

..attended a couple birthday parties..

 penelope loves nothing more than a good party. even today, she asks when the next party is.

'party, today?!'

..catching up on some reading..

..zombie reading.

a lovely visit with nature.

*calico basin.

a wishful visit to space.

a look at love.

..he is the best father.

a new wedding experience.

 loved that we all wore these amazing dresses!

a trip to pumpkin patch. it was a little bit of a drive for us, but it was very much worth it.

 we finally got our pumpkin.

halloween!

 we attended a couple parties. knowing that matt had to work halloween, we also celebrated early. we took the kids to the springs preserve to trick or treat the saturday before halloween. it was funn!

and of course, a couple favorite shows of the season!
