Halloween, Already

In case you didn’t already know this about me, I’m a planner.  Maybe a little bit obsessively.   But I love to plan in all it’s forms: budgeting, party planning, pouring over real estate, vacations nearly a year away, Nora’s Halloween costume…

Yes, you read that right.  It’s not even September and I already know what Nora’s first Halloween costume is going to be.  (First, because last year I thought it was silly to costume a one month old.)

This year, she’ll be walking and so it’s no longer completely ridiculous to dress her up and let her cuteness get a ton of candy for Chris and me to eat.   (Isn’t free candy one of the awesome things about having a kid?)  So, part of me had started to think about what she would be because I was thinking about sewing her a costume and I knew that would take time.  And just as I was perusing sewing patterns, I found a costume in her size at the take-it-or-leave-it.  It was fate.

Costume taken care of, all we need to get are the things that will make it warm.  A perfect excuse to buy her some super cute Baby Legs and Bobux.

Can you guess what she’s going to be?

    Yep, she’s going to be a lady bug. And a really cute one!

Z was Raja in an Aladdin production through her dance studio @pasgeorgetown this evening and she did such a great job. I loved watching her. She took a year off dance and is getting back into it and you'd barely know she took any time off, plus she had a big smile on her face the whole time - I could tell she was having a ton of fun. ♥️

What happens when you go on a long weekend trip with only your husband, no kids, and no agenda? 

Lots of walking, cocktails in the middle of the day, singing at a piano bar, and time to write a blog post for the first time in nearly two years. Which I did! 

😮 For real. LOL 😊

Today Chris and I have been married for 15 years. We're celebrating with our first weekend away from children while my mom watches all four girls. We rented an old Victorian from the 1800s near the coast in Galveston, Texas and spent the day at a spa, eating delicious food, walking the beach under the stars, and finished the night with a bottle of bourbon saved from when we lived on Nantucket. I'm not sure I could have asked for a much better day. I even had an oppotunity to get out the lightship basket purse Chris gave me for our 5th anniversary. ♥️

We had a cold snap and yesterday we had to get all bundled up for Zara's soccer game. It was 30 degrees and, despite these pictures, Vivi's patience for being out there did not last long. Tomorrow it's supposed to be 80 degrees and we're really looking forward to warmth again.

By the way, my awesome gaiter came from our client @isacattostudio. Isa paints patterns and makes really beautiful textiles and notebooks with her patterns. ♥️ her work and team.
