Long Day

Today was a long day for me, as Ken was staying late for an industry night at the school. Ariel was a busy little bee as usual. Running around, climbing on everything and laughing up a storm. She was a kissing monster this morning, as she kept planting them on me over and over. Too cute.

Had a walk this morning, as the rain held off... not sure how much longer that's gonna last. Saw Nana briefly, and helped her with some shopping. Had a messy snack at the cafe, chocolate chip muffins and Ariel to not mix well.

During the royal nap, I made an appointment for our photos with Maria at Frozen Reflections. I got an email for her Christmas special, and its perfect timing, so yay! Also today got an email from Gymboree of the Christmas dresses that have arrived in the store! *Eek* They are uber cute and now the hard part of picking... I have a few I like, but once I see them in person, I will know if I LOVE them. I am excited I have my gymbucks day coming up, I can get me a deal, woot! So princess will have a picture perfect dress in time, now me is another story. Blah. Hmmm, maybe that Gap dress I got for the reunion would work... we shall see.

Finished up some projects today as well. So I give you my fall decor, first up my new pieces this year. New door wall hanging, table runner and pillow:

And the old favs:


Last night was our first gathering for our life group (Bible study). Its fun to see everyone in a relaxing setting again, and we had some newbies join us, parents of one of the new little ones who Ariel plays with in the nursery. It was mainly a catch up and overview of how things will go this year. Should be good, and Ariel did very well, and loved the toys they brought out for her to play with.

We had decided to walk over since it was a nice night, and got to see the amazing harvest moon. Very cool! Ariel seemed to like it, and called it 'pety' (pretty).


I was in a photo happy mood today, so enjoy. I love my cute subject. Hee.


Well, Ken is on the bus home, so I better go tidy up a bit so we can watch Ugly Betty and ER together when he gets in.
