nothing like cotton candy, curly fries, indian fry bread, funnel cakes, deep fried twinkies and chocolate dipped ice cream cones on a friday afternoon

So glad we took the time to go to the Arizona State Fair today. We had so much fun and I forgot how fun carni rides are. and the food - don't get me started on the food. I'd love to go back at night to see the lights

{but really its to people watch cuz really there is nothing like a fair to bring out EVERY walk of life}

Take it Outside

October is a near-perfect month. And so we take everything outside

- even a movie.

Where to go...

I NEED a vacaction - where should I go?

Lovin' this MELLOW Weekend

Although it may never come again, I can't help but be glad that some weekends are like this one. Very little on the "must do" list - even less on the "honey-do" list (Eric's been a bit under the weather) and whole lot on the "whatever you feel like" list. This amounted to bikerides, cinnamon roles, bubbles, forts, naps for some and folding laundry for others. Three words for a lazy weekend like this one - LIVE IT UP!

Staying up late...

Have you seen this kid lately? Probably not because this is the best picture I can get of him because he doesn't sit down or stop moving and he never, ever, not ever, stops playing.

I have four minutes until October 1st is over and I think I'll share bits and pieces of my day (cause frankly I don't think you want to know about cleaning out the fridge - but I did that too)

Took E & neighbor boy to school - they laughed hysterically as Ty pointed out the "Poo Bus" (i.e. School Bus) - Made some pumpkin cookies that didn't look that pretty but tasted very fall-ish - Colored a little boy's hair for "Blue Day" - he told me he had FIVE blue things on - "My underpants, my shirt right here, this eye, this eye and my spiky hair." - Worked a little but snuck in a mini-nap too - played at the park - rode bikes - washed out the blue & the sand - went to a meeting - came home and opened all my windows to celebrate 70 degrees and the first day of my favorite month

Been waiting for you October - so glad you're here! {Please don't bring a single heat wave}

Looking very forward to this weekend!

Oh yea... decorated last weekend for Halloween - my very most favorite holiday to decorate for. Said goodbye to sand and shells and lemons and hello to lots of orange and black and glitter. [sorry about the bad pics but you get the point]
