Halloween Cake

Last minute Bumble Bee

Layna was going to be a princess fairy like India but a few minutes before we ran out the door to trick or treat Layna decided that she'd rather be a bumble bee. So we switched costumes and Layna was a bumble bee AGAIN this year (this is the 3rd year of being a bumble bee). Heres a picture of her with the spoils of the night all over her face.

Pumpkin LOVE

I have diagnosed myself with pumpkin love. I never cared about carving a pumpkin till this year. I just went to town buying pumpkins and carving them. Then I felt a huge attachment to my pumpkins. Then I had such a fun time figuring out how to take pictures of pumpkins in the dark. I took about 50 pictures and I'll spare you on looking at each one. These are my favorites. I'm already looking forward to next Halloween!

Watch out!

Someone's a natural with a rifle!

Playing with the Greens

We hung out with some of our friends and had a weeney roast. Our two girls played with 5 little boys, which was very different for our girls. They found themselves getting pushed over more than they would if they were hanging out with girls.

Yorkie

One of these days...when layna is potty trained we are going to get a puppy (not necessarily a young dog, but in our family all dogs are called puppies). I'm really leaning towards a Yorkie. Austin is leaning towards a beagle.

Coco Before Chanel

My most favorite perfume is Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel. I just love the smell. It has such a mature smell (it kind of has a smell that seems like older ladies would wear it) and I especially love smelling it in the fall and winter cuz it smells kind of like it has a spice undertone. Well, I was looking at some used movies and I saw this Coco before Chanel and it sparked my interest and I bought it without ever seeing it. It was very interesting to learn the life of Gabrielle Chanel (nickname Coco) and how she started out as an Orphan. I absolutely love love love her style. She lived in a time of corsets and puffy hats and she would make herself very sleek and simple clothes and hats and she made her clothes for comfort. When most people would wear white or cream colors she would wear black, grey or brown. Oh, and she would make clothes that had some masculinity to them which somehow accentuated her femininity. I visually loved this movie.
