dreary

It is an absolutely dreary day outside. The wind is howling, garbage is blowing all over people's yards, everything outside is wet, the greenery of summer is almost gone, and it's just a sad, sad, day.


This is the view out our front window...


My once beautiful flowers which I loved so much


My now yellow hosta lying down for the winter


Nothing but grey skies


proof of a windy night


but in the midst of the bleariness, a happy little monster will greet you at our door

How I Love Them

Pictures Pictures Pictures

Like most 3 year olds in this day and age of digital cameras, Ethan LOVES taking my point and shoot all over the house to take pictures of.....absolutely everything. No, I mean EVERYTHING. Here are just a few for fun :D

Peek - you can see a portion of one of the beloved police cars that are fought over daily in our house


Yes, this is how I look on a daily basis, and no I would not ever post a picture like this in colour...


CHEESE :D


Wow. A light switch.


Poor Anthony wasn't sure what was going on when he was so rudely greeted by a flash in the face


But of course he was thrilled that his big brother was the one greeting him :o)




I had NO idea my hair looks THIS bad in the morning... I will most definitely be putting it in a ponytail/bun the minute I get out of bed from now on.

Fall

Fall is beautiful and wonderful, and I love it. I've always thought I was a summer person, but this year I realized that I HATE being hot!! You see, the thing is, I am a face sweater. Seriously. My FACE sweats. Not my armpits or other parts of my body, just my face. Awesome. Aren't I lucky? This summer on a particularly hot day, I was doing a photo shoot in someone's apartment and of course my face was dripping like nobody's business. I kept wiping and wiping it, and was getting quite frustrated with the constant need for it! After a little while of going through that, I actually had the client ask me if I was ok and if I needed a glass of water or to sit down!! Did I seem that bad?? Apparently so! Since that incident I've been thinking about what I could do to help me with my little 'problem'.... smear anti-persperant on my forehead? No, I think I might get zits or some kind of forehead cancer from it.... wear a sweatband? I do remember going to a friend's wedding where their photographer wore a sweat band, but he was an old guy with a grey beard and pot belly, so it kind of worked for him. For me? Not so much. So I think I'm going to start exercising.... does being in shape mean that you sweat less? Ethan is 3 and has quite obviously inherited the sweating head gene because his hair gets soaking wet just from jumping on the bed.... so after all this thought and study, I have come to the conclusion that yes, I should be in better shape because although it won't make me stop sweating, it will make me have less body fat, which in turn will keep me cooler. Cheers.
