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!

a quiet friday






grampa (my pops) wasn't around today, so it seemed like a normal monday, thursday type day (the two most routine days of the week). penny did her reading (gramma got her new books), threw around her books when she finished, and watched a couple episodes of 'dora', or as penny would say, 'duura'. she learned how to say 'chip', as she kept asking for potato chips, so, i guess it's time to switch to the healthier chips since it is currently her favorite food, at least until she learns how to say another food, hopefully healthy...are there healthier chips? billie did her norm: cooing, kicking, waving her arms around, though she spent a little more time awake during the day (good! i can maybe finally get some real sleep tonight). then when 6:30 rolled around (penny seems to always know when 6:30 comes around), it's 'bafth' (as penny would say) time. 'bafth' haha. she sounds like an english man when she says this..then it's into the shower (i find it faster and easier) she goes. i normally go in there with her, but these days, she knows what's up, and washes herself. my big girl. by 7 o'clock, they're both asleep and i get a little bit of peace and quiet. then, i have no idea, what on earth i should do...i should really be doing some work outs (so much for looking my best by halloween), or i could make myself some coffee, as that is all that we currently have to enjoy as a beverage (i wish it was beer). i could pick up around my room a little (nahhh), but i think i'll just turn on some netflix, find a cheesy chick flick, and wait to get the 'i'm on my way home' call from my husband, and ask him to 'pick me up a beer, please!' a nice unwind after such a normal, no bad, no good, pretty boring day.
