October
came and went
with such ferocious pace
I feel dizzy from the aftermath
day to day
happenings like
meals
homeschool
cleaning and shopping
laundry
pet care
more cleaning
we have 3 bathrooms...eew
fun
because we all need more of that
mix in
part-time work
just to put a cherry on top of it all
you get it...
day to day
all year long
this post is about
those extras in life that need attending
some joyous
some not so much
a wedding fits in the first category
Jacob
our oldest
eloped with his bride
and they had a beautiful party
to celebrate
Angela is a vegetarian chef
how perfect is that?
it goes
almost without saying
that the food was made and catered
by jake and angela
with a little help from our gang
and grandma of course!
not one picture of the
happy couple
oh yes i do!
i hope you appreciate
that i stopped what i was doing
(blogging mid-week!)
to take that pic
upload
and post
just for you.
but wasn't it so worth it?
they have a friend who is a graphic artist
and they made these magnets
as a gift to guests
so sweet
onto the not so fun category
but so glad to have it
d-o-n-e.
painting
one of those fast-paced weekends
were tagged to paint the porch
rain out
joe decided he wanted his room
painted so we pointed
our brushes in his direction
with
elephant skin
just enough gray
without being dingy
mixed with
mud
goes great with what he
already has
the only extra expense
the curtains
since his roman shades were
literally falling apart
i need to footnote here
that we are not the kind to
change paint colors
in our bedrooms
on a regular basis
in fact
joe's room hadn't been painted since it
was added to our home
15 years ago!
yikes!
how time does fly.
boy did it need it.
these pictures are obviously
not propped
he still wants to hang some posters
which i will let him.
the rest is his gig.
one last view
taken in the middle of the afternoon
blackout curtains
for the gamer
where glare is the enemy
they were from target
cheap and energy efficient
and
my boy is happy
score!
on a sunny weekday
because you can't wait for
a nice weekend
once mid-autumn approaches
painted that porch
railings and framing
and...
the floor!
going for the moss green
that i loved on this
gooseberry patch cover
came close
although in this lighting
it looks more gray
which i'm good with
because
it too is
d-o-n-e!
went for another angle.
still seeing gray.
i'm thinking a touch-up in the spring
will make it
greener.
:)
outdoor furniture put away
garden put to rest
(almost...still have some cabbage and jalapenos!)
brought plants in
that couldn't survive
being left out
more family gatherings
a halloween that wasn't
we just went out for dinner
kinda sad
leaves still need raking
winterizing
planning for upcoming holidays
that will be here
before we know it
since november is the
second fastest month of the year
and then
the brakes hit.
otherwise known as
january.
now i'm off to write my novel
in a month.
that's nanowrimo
check it out!
