Life Lately

 


Some neighbors around the corner have a yard bursting with giant Halloween blow ups. Minnie really wanted to be "that house," too, but we are just constantly buffeted by wind in our front yard, and blow ups-- especially big ones-- are tricky. We got these instead, and they are exactly kindergartener sized. Kids walk up and high five them every morning during school drop off and again during afternoon pick up.

And our very own kindergartener likes to take pics with them before school.


Am I wearing the barrel jeans, or are they wearing me?
Jumped on the mary jane trend, too.
Shout out to Trader Joe's for the awesome bake-at-home sugar cookies. They are super simple, make the whole house smell delicious, and continue to delight Minnie every week. FALL WIN for sure.
Jack went to Homecoming with the same kids he has been friends with since middle school-- it was pretty adorable. I really can't believe they're seniors this year! Ben and I took advantage of the kids taking pics at the Capitol and squeezed in a quick date night-- it is amazing to have back up babysitter kids when your main babysitter kid is busy.

    You look GREAT in the barrel jeans! Super cute. And I love the lawn friends. Minnie looks so cute with them.

  2. Love the Minnie-sized blow-ups--those pics are just so perfect.

    I wear Mary Janes a lot; I perked up to hear they're "back."
