Just in time for Halloween!
This was last year’s costume but it makes it’s appearance every so often throughout the year.
You can never get enough Darth, right?
Check out all the other festive photos over at iheartfaces.

i heart faces challenge: Dress-up week
October 26, 2009M plus M equals mmmmmmm….good!
October 22, 2009When I saw these on Amy Locurto’s blog Living Locurto, I knew I needed to make them for the women I visit each month.
I even had enough left for my kids to munch on after school.
Go check out Amy’s awesome blog for the instructions. She is co-founder of my favorite photography blog iheartfaces. She’s a graphic designer as well as a fabulous photographer and has lots and lots of free downloads on her blog.
I’ve got two shoots this weekend including my very first urban family shoot. I’m super excited and hope to have a sneak peek up in a couple of days.
Happy Weekending!
The Big Question…
October 21, 2009What are you going to be for Halloween???
In an attempt to decide, the boys talked me in to going costume shopping yesterday.
So we hit the warehouse and found all kinds of silly and gruesome and frightfully fun things to explore.
I think we’ve got it nailed down now.
We’ll have a ‘true jedi’, one Mr. Ron Weasley, and a toy slayer (whatever that is).
What are you going to be for Halloween???
it’s the great pumpkin(s)!
October 4, 2009
Apparently we have a little green in our thumbs after all.
Our garden yielded 24 pumpkins this year!!!
We harvested yesterday. It was downright cold. I had to put a coat on for the first time this year!
And this is the first time I did not have to BUY cornstalks to decorate the front porch.
I made homemade breadsticks and corn chowder and we watched General Conference all day. The only time I set foot outside was to take these pictures.
I LOVE fall!
California Trip Day 1 and 1/2
June 25, 2009Although it was close…I didn’t actually die from 7 days of no carbs.
But I hope to never do that again.
My blog has been neglected, this time, because we were out of town
We just got in last night.
I’m afraid this is going to turn into Travel-Log-Blog this summer with all the trips we have planned. That’s just as well since I’m a little burned out of coming up with intriguing, thought-provoking, clever topics.
What’s that?
You’re right. This blog has never been about intriguing, thought-provoking, clever topics. So why start now?
After deciding spur-of-the-moment to leave a day early, we rushed around like mad washing, packing, and cleaning and we headed off to California last Wednesday. Armed with a gazillion and one DVDs, some junk food, some books, and pillows, we were ready for the 11-hour drive.
After trekking through the sparcity (a made-up word. I think.) of south central Idaho and south east Oregon, we hit Nevada and made a B-line to Reno and all its kitchy glory. My husband had found us “a deal!” online so we could rest from our travel labors and continue on our journey in the morning.
Well, we got what we paid for. Two rooms at the Sands for $35 a night. We only had to shield the kids’ eyes as we waded through the smoky casino to the registration desk and up the elevator to our floor.
As hard as it was to pry ourselves away from the ancient chain-smoking regulars at the slot machines, we set off on the road early the next morning and headed to Tahoe.
Although we lived in the Bay Area for almost 10 years, we had never taken the kids to Lake Tahoe. So we got off on a tangent and spent some time at the lake. It was the perfect day for it.
Just to prove I did actually go on this family trip, here’s a shot of myself I took in the rest room mirror.
One of the things I miss most about living in California is the fresh local produce. We lucked out because there was a farmer’s market down by the lake that day.
We wandered around sampling the delicious California fruit and bought a basket of plump raspberries and a bag of juicy nectarines and plums to fuel the rest of the drive ahead of us. Yum!
