Thanksgiving

This is very late, but I thought I should put together my Thanksgiving photos! Better late than never. I'm afraid I don't have a photo of every family member that was there. I'm not big on taking photos for the sake of taking photos, so I've just put together my favorites. :)

Look at that cute pink cheek. :)

The photo above is of Griffin sharpening his knife. He was also drinking wine. Logan poured one too many tiny cups of wine, so we gave it to Griffin. I thought it was a comical shot.

Griffin's bloody delicious baguettes above, and an awesome apple pie below!

Sara's chocolate mousse/pudding pie! So good. Paula Deen recipe.

Thanksgiving was lovely. I hope that we have many more like it. 

The beginning of fall.

We woke up the other day to find that it was chilly outside... I guess fall has found us. 

I love fall. I think I love it more than spring. Winter, on the other hand - not a big fan - but I don't let that take the fun out of fall. I love the open windows and the long-sleeves + shorts or tanks + jeans. I love eating fall-ish food, like stew. I love going outside and knowing that it will be gorgeous in every way and that I won't sweat. 

And what I love most of all? Sleeping under three blankets while cold air comes in my open window. That is what I love the best. (Possibly more than anything else, at all, ever.)

Excessive dressing of the babies is fun at first too. We didn't have any warm clothes for Lucy to wear, since the chill came out of nowhere, so we dressed her in Henry's old sweater, a hat I made her earlier this year (from Christina's scrap yarns) and a pair of socks I had tried knitting myself, but were much too small. :)

And on to today's pictures... I cut Quinn's hair right before everyone came for Dad's birthday tonight. It was so amazingly gorgeous out in the yard, so we trimmed in the grass. :)

Photo by Quinn, while I was snapping with Sara's camera!

Photo by Quinn!

I am tempted to put up a large picture of Erin's face, but I think she would cease talking to me. ;) Tonight was lovely! Now for studying tomorrow... Biology test on Tuesday morning at the crack of dawn (literally), and our first geology test on Wednesday. It's going to be some science-y studying tomorrow. Also, I handed in my first English paper Thursday... We'll see how that turns out!

September always inspires me (and October; they are glorious months), so with a little determination, you will be seeing more posts from me in the near future. :)

Au revoir!

thrift shop find ...+ tomatoes

Do you see this amazing cardigan thing I'm wearing? I bought it today for $3 at a thrift store. It's barely worn, soft and lovely, and best of all, it's by Kimchi & Blue! We were shopping for a black button up for Mom. I'm rifling through the medium women's shirts and blouses section, where I didn't expect to find a shirt that fit Mom, much less a barely worn, once probably $30-$60 Urban Outfitters or Anthropologie cardigan for $3.

All the photos above are by Quinn (with a little direction from me)! I love how they turned out. :) The tomatoes, of course, had to steal the scene. We were right outside the garden, so it was pretty much an imperative. 

And to end, the green beans were begging for a shot... 

Good night!

P.S. Have I mentioned the awesomeness of Misfits? Sigh.

I really love where I live. 

Some things to mention...

We've been cleaning the house before family comes to visit this weekend. I love cleaning. 

There is something about the curves and angles of a messy bed... It's so attractive. 

Found a stylish mystery novel at the library. 

I picked a million tomatoes last night, and there are still many more to come.

I passed my math placement exam, getting a 74 when all I needed was a 40 to pass.

Admittedly, I'm a little excited about taking classes.

And last but not least, Misfits is awesome (I couldn't have a blog post that doesn't mention TV, now could I?!)

Adios,
