I have just downloaded my pictures and I am now amazed at everything that we did this month. No wonder I am tired. As always I have a grand selection of boy shots and some of them smiling, that always feels like a mini victory!
I also have to say that the blog is good for one thing it does make me focus on the nice things. I don't take pictures of pooh stuff so that means that I look back editing the photos and it seems lovely. As we know that isn't always the case but we can look at these snaps with rose tinted spectacles and imagine an idyllic life!!! ah bliss.
But one of the real life amazing things that happens at this time of the year is the colour. My goodness it is just so glorious it almost hurts your eyes. Whether it is a windy day, or bright or my new favorite dull, the leaves simply glow!
So we kick off with a super moon evening.
Really amazing moon shots and the one below is just spectacular. This was the moon one night on the way to dance down the road. Louie and I just had to stop and stare!
Louie is always telling me he wants to walk across town so we do sometimes and this is some of the things that we spotted along the way.
We ended up in Everhart Park and what a feast for the eyes the trees were that day.
What a sweetie pie!
Bearing in mind that this was the beginning of October the leaves were really showing their colors. Just lovely.
Thoughtful Louie
I am sure that I have said that the trees here are massive and this scale picture with Damian and Louie at the bottom of this Oak, show how huge these trees are.
The berries on this one really were stunning.
This is the Pumpkin Carving party that we had at the house with Louie's Dance team! He had a ball!
Here he is drumming on the Gathering Drumming and the girls were dancing away!
This was the finished result just wonderfully carved pumpkins!
Then it was founders day and the three boys were on the pitch playing soccer together. So I had to try and capture the moment. Damian is in blue and red shorts.
Damian running mid stride and Louie also...he is wearing long black joggers and a blue t shirt to the left of the picture
And of course here is Isaac, hair tied back and he has the stripey socks on....aka vagabonds Rugby socks....
All three boys on the pitch
And this is the result of that running around malarkey....breather time Mr F?
Louie is literally with both feet off the ground...he is floating...
So the words coming out of Louie's mouth are s**t that guy is coming towards me
Ah nice picture...But Damian does look a bit done in, hey don't quote me on that.
There is a tree on our street and every year it turns this amazingly bright yellow...wow
OK I know this looks creepy but Louie made this arm for Halloween...part of his Steam Punk outfit...see later
SPIRIT WEEK
MONDAY PJ DAY
TUESDAY TWINS DAY
WEDNESDAY VINTAGE DAY
sometimes it takes a few goes to get the smile......
Ok so the smile makes him look mad. But he's trying.....
The park just was looking so leafy...the floor literally carpeted with leaves
Like this shot and the parallels..
Those fall colors again
RAINBOW THURSDAY
AND FRIDAY WAS HALLOWEEN...ONE SKINNY MANX MAN...literally he turns sideways and disappears..can you see him looking at me in the reflection...yup that is a scowl.
But at least Louie is taking this seriously...
Ok that might also be a mad look...
But jolly ManxMan
I love this picture, they are truly engaged with each other.
Oh and me! dressed as Steam Punk...honest it was the best I could do.
Isaac's evening garb...totally awesome dude. We really had a blast this Halloween. Isaac is already thinking what we can dress as next year and that coming from the person who doesn't like to dress up. Way to go Issy.
This was a breezy walk one Sunday.
down by the university.
one of those wasp nests clinging on.
This is us this morning doing a selfie at the bus stop and doesn't Isaac's face say it all...what the h**l mum! You are so annoying, or words to that effect.....I love it.
My walk this morning was damp, very damp but the leaves were amazing. I know I have over used that word but really there aren't enough superlatives to describe the colours and the leaves...
And finally my new /old porch lamp shade from California..ordered while Damian was away. I broke the other on Halloween trying to get the green bulb in and then had a heart attack trying to find anything remotely like the one we have. This darling is not like it but boy is it interesting and from Esty..so I will see if my electrician aka Damian boy wonder can affix this one :)
Love to you all near and far...till next time.
