happy halloween
Saturday, October 31st, 2009under and over the weather
Thursday, October 29th, 2009For the first time ever, I think I am not a fan of fall. It snuck up on us and the cold wet autumn leaves smacked me in the face before I was ready to wake up from a dreamy, warm summer. I didn’t get to bid a proper farewell to summer, nor did I get enough Indian Summer days to last me through the chilly months. I might actually accept the fact that it is fall in November, but for the rest of October, I am in denial.
To make the seasonal change even more exciting, Haven had her first cold, which she was kind enough to share with us. Nothing major, no fevers, just runny noses, stuffy heads and crankiness. Knock on wood, we will nip this thing in the bud and be back to our ghostly and goblin-y selves by the weekend.
monday, monday
Monday, October 26th, 2009Little Miss H had got a runny nose and we are trying to get caught up on life, but in the meantime, enjoy the newest Improv Everywhere video.
As seen on swissmiss.

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009Sharing this with my family, since they probably didn’t see it and I think they will get a kick out of it. Also, for my friends out there who have heard about “the farm” here’s some pictures and videos.
P.S. Don’t worry, Brooke, I won’t share your drugged up video on my blog. Heal, child. HEAL!
for the birds
Tuesday, October 20th, 2009Matt sent me a link last night to a series of photographs (as seen on boing boing) taken from the middle of the Pacific Ocean. I must warn you, the pictures are graphic and gut wrenching if you give a shit about the world we live in. For the past couple of years, I have been obsessed with consumerism and how our collection (and disposal) of the stuff we consume is going to at some point in time consume us. And, these pictures are proof that the crap we throw away is destroying our world. So, if you think that all the talk about recycling, anti-consumerism, global warming, etc. is for the birds, go eat some trash bags and bottle caps, feed some to YOUR babies and let me know how it went.

five octaves
Saturday, October 17th, 2009I feel that this guy is *special*. I think it is pretty *special* he posted this for us to have a good laugh. Because you know, I can’t sing worth a damn and trying to hit five octaves would not only hurt me, but would also make everyone else run away. At least Shane makes us giggle.
As tweeted by the panic room.
flashback friday
Friday, October 16th, 2009I think these are my one year portraits. I’ve got no proof that is the case, so unless my family contests that, I’m going with it. Whenever I see these pictures, I think I look like a red headed Frankenstein. With big ears and my lazy eye. Perfect for Halloween.
fall vacation 2009 : miracle’s wedding
Thursday, October 15th, 2009As I mentioned previously we attended the wedding of my cousin, Miracle. Prior to the wedding a friend (actually one of her bridesmaids, Chelsa Yoder) had taken bridal portraits. At the reception she had this picture framed and on display:
This one is my favorite:
