this year, for halloween, like last year, we gathered at a friend’s house and had some chili and snacks and maybe some drinks and then we headed out trick or treating with the kiddos. also, like last year, isaac wanted to be luigi. cool. saves me money. before we set out for candy looting, we […]
friends
autumn cupcakes for a friend.
my friend heather has a birthday next week. her sister ashley threw a semi-surprise party for her. semi because heather knew she was going to a pampered chef party and had no idea it was for her. it was super fun. ashley got the idea (from pinterest, of course) to have a favorite things party. […]
miscellaneous happenings.
not much exciting to report around here. we’ve been watching a ridiculous amount of “it’s the great pumpkin, charlie brown” and have now moved onto “a charlie brown thanksgiving”. i’m hoping to get through halloween before we have to bust out “a charlie brown christmas”… (we did have one sneak peak already. :/) anyhooo… here’s […]
field trips
on thursday, anna and i made a trip to the children’s museum. i’ve been trying to do a few more fun things with her while isaac is in school, rather than run errands and/or clean and/or be lazy. you know, like i did when it was just him. so, we met jess and her terrible […]
dan nicholas park
a week or so ago, jess and i dragged the kiddos out to dan nicholas park in salsbury. we probably should have gone online to see what attractions would be open, because the answer to that question was: none. none of the attractions were open. so, we hit up the playground. the train. and the […]
field day
today was isaac’s field day. yes. five weeks into the school year. it was a beautiful day, so anna and i decided to head out and watch his class play… (he’s the kid in the yellow shirt in all of these pics). after a long search, we finally found them at the oversized basketball hoop, […]
whatever.
some pictures. and stories. from our lives. lately. birthday party for shira. we got two new-to-us older barred rock hens to replace the two that lucy slaughtered a few weeks back. (plus one more that derek got just for fun, i guess). unfortunately, within a couple of days, they both died. still not 100% sure […]
a festival of apples.
on saturday, i dragged the kids to an apple fest in bethabara (a historic-ish place in winston-salem). i had a few other mom friends, who were without husbands for the weekend, so we met up to celebrate apples together. lincoln was a super wagon puller. we found the beekeeper exhibit, first thing. love watching bees […]
one fish two fish.
came out of my cake hiatus to make some seussian cupcakes and a cake for a baby shower that my college roommate was throwing for one of her friends. i am pretty happy with how these all turned out. i cut each one out of fondant with an exacto knife and then used an edible […]
a feeble attempt to cover the last few weeks.
when i went to post the back to school post, i realized it’s been quite a long time since my last post. then, i started a miscellaneous post and realized that i hadn’t posted pics of the coop or discussed the tragic details of the lucy-chicken incident. so, those events aside, i am now posting […]
