First outfit post!

Last Monday my sister-in-law, Gillian, and I went thrift store shopping! We were both in need of winter clothes, luckily I found three cute shirts, in which i will be blogging about in the next three posts :)
It was super fun and a nice break from the usual routine.
Here are some pictures from our trip:

I thought this wall looked cool, so i made Gillian take a picture of me :)

Ok is this not the most fabulous 80's prom dress, in all the most horrible ways of course. And it fit perfectly...But, i don't need a horrible blue prom dress that fit perfectly. 

Don't worry all those pictures were talking while stopped :)

And so here is the first shirt i bought and what i'm wearing with it:

I'm wearing my favorite beret/beanie ever. My mom made it for me yeaarrrrrrs ago and i recently fell in love with it again.
The adorable black and gray checkered button up was originally from forever 21 (love that store) and i got it for a lovely 5 dollars.
And it is sooooo comfortable, i can flap like a chicken with no restrictions :D

Just look at that cute little ruffle along the buttons! 

Oh i also got that belt I'm wearing, only 4 dollars :) 

Among needing winter clothes i also need more accessories, plus my sister just got a belt like this that i wanted, so instead of stealing hers i just got my own :)

While i was taking pictures my puppy dog decided to come play.

So i bugged her with over zealous attention and she was pleased and ran off to play else where :)

So there it is my new awesome button up, more to come!
If the weather is permitting, come on Fall 80 high??? Really?

Krause Springs

Last weekend our little family went to Krause springs.  It was soooo much fun, and such a beautiful day, high of 70, heck yes!
Cue photo drop!

Talking about how BIG the tree is.

Such ridiculous shoes that bring her so much joy.

the Walrus's Gala

My evening started out lovely and ended the same.  My two year old son and i made homemade chocolate chip cookies, and i had a couple cups of coffee with my share of sweets...Although, I forget sometimes, that caffeine has a big effect on me. Here i am at 10:00 pm, twitchy and awake, my babes asleep, my husband out of town at work. So i paint. Something any "normal" artist would do, right?

Well i'm glad i did, my art on the whim turned out swell:

After:

I call it 'theWalrus's Gala'

And i am quite fond of it.

And whilst the coffee was still in my veins, i played at bit:

my weapon of choice

Looking forward to another art attack, i'll keep y'all posted.

Halloween!

Whew! Halloween came and left in a flash! But it did leave some fun memories. This year we decided to host a Halloween party, in inspiration of the dark yet enchanting Tim Burton's "the Nightmare before Christmas." It had a great turn out i'd say, hear are some of the pumpkins i carved with the help of my sister:

I love how they turned out.

And in the spirt of things my husband and i dressed according to theme:

The Oogie Boogie man

Sally

I absolutely love our costumes, thank you mom for teaching me to sew!

Plus who doesn't want to wear fake lashes?!

Sadly i didn't get many pictures of the decor. We had an "Oogie Boogie cave" in our bathroom, it was lit with black light with the Oogie Boogie casino style art.  A santa hat hanging inside our fireplace with more black light,  and spiderwebs everywhere. If you have a good imagination you can just see the brilliance in our decor.

And then there was the trick-or-treating:

Super Why and a Mermaid

Aren't my kids the cutest ever?!? It's alright you can say it. :)

Thus ended a very grand All Hallows Eve.

Happy Halloween!!!
