Winter

spur of the moment sundance film festival- park city
awesome night with mom and sis
delicious steak & fish tacos
movie: the mill and the cross - very experimental


I am freezing here. Anybody else. AAHHHH! I was talking to a friend on the phone yesterday. We were talking about wintertime, and bitter cold, gray skies, runny noses and what do you do to pass the time. And where do you get the energy you need to do that thing that will keep you sane. And how do you do it with little kids. We went on and on and then I said this,

You have to create your own amazing.


I said that? I think I'm gonna do it. Good times here we come.

Today:
Pancakes 'n berry smoothies
ballet
preschool
and then.....back to school for me
That's right found a babysitter and I'm gonna learn me somethin' new!
So excited to shovel myself out of my wintertime blues...
How 'bout you?

Halloween


Yes we apparently are already talking about next years Halloween. Fin woke up this morning and said that next year she wanted to be a pearl. Like the ones that you find at the bottom of the ocean inside of an oyster or something. She has been talking about what she wants to be next year ever since Halloween this year.

We LOVE october around here. It's one of the best times of the year. What's not to love. The weather is crisp but still nice enough to have friends over for dessert and apple cider around the bonfire. There are hay rides, and pumpkin patches, caramel apples and Halloween parties, costumes and candy.

Here are some of the costume choices from this year. They couldn't decide so every day they just picked something new out of the treasure chest.


Goldilocks
finley wanted to be goldilocks because their hair matches. she wanted an apron designed to hold her little bears



"Plastic" Girl- I don't know why she calls it that And Spidey
for her dance class she said she needed to wear a costume with a cape so she could fly around when she danced. luckily we had this costume from last year.




Snow White and the Knight

spooky hay ride at the farm. the kids weren't too sure about our guide. they kept asking me, "what is he going to do to us".
