Late Halloween and Fall Post

Fall felt like this:

Rather than words to describe our first two months together we have videos and music.  We have projects.  We have events.  We have peaceful hearts and happy children.  Here’s a month late picture of our first two months.

Music:

We are borrowing Nate’s drums until one of the other sisters demands we bring them back.  Turns out Hush can also play the drums.

Mimi has started lessons.  She’s surprisingly good already!  I’m also taking guitar lessons.  I’m terrible.  Jude’s started guitar too, though it is probably a bit early for that because of the tantrums involved.

Events:

Remember that day all my dreams came true?  No, not my wedding nor my three children’s births.  That day my whole family NAILED our Oz costumes.  I nearly cried with joy when Mimi, without prompting nor coercion, asked to be Dorothy for Halloween.  The little boys were on board with Tinman and Scarecrow.  And if she is Dorothy, that meant I got to be Glinda! 

Look closely at the skirt, do you recognize it?  Much better use of that fabulousness, no? 

It must be noted that also without coercion Hush jumped right into the fantastic Cowardly Lion costume my mother made.  How incredible is it that I found a man who knows the value of a fabulous if slightly embarrassing costume?  He rocked that Lion.  It was full commitment, without protest.  A man has to be very secure with himself to be the ONLY man in costume at the Ward Trunk or Treat.  It was a dream come true.

Projects:

Hush and I have been developing a land art project.  We came up with some ideas and out came the pen and pad to work out possible designs.  This required some research at the junk yard.

We are getting closer to a finalized plan.  Right now we’re working on a labyrinth. 

Fall is also costume time.  When isn’t costume time at my house?

 

And of course the daily wrestling sessions.

 

Ok, I think that covers most of the fall things.  Record updated.
