Leaves

Sheesh. It's like I blink and three weeks have gone by. How does that happen? Where does the time go? We've been busy with some house projects that I hope to show on here one of these days. And, of course, school and work and a variety of other things are keeping us occupied. I took a few minutes to snap some photos of Walter and his cousins playing in the leaves the other night. It was a good little creative boost - just 10 minutes with the camera. I've got to get back into the habit of taking it out more often.

Halloween 2013

For a few years now I've made, or at least pieced together, Walter's Halloween costumes. And it's been a really fun thing to do. But when he told me he wanted to be Optimus Prime, I backed out of the costume-making business. Because, for starters, who/what is Optimus Prime???

It's a Transformer. I'm so out of touch. 

And secondly, once I figured out who (or is it what?) Optimus Prime is, there was no way I was attempting to create that costume. So we went shopping. Easy peasy. 

Here's Optimus. (We're on a first-name basis now.) 

He's smiling under that mask, I swear. 

It was a rainy night so Optimus wore his raincoat to go trick-or-treating. He's such a good little Transformer. 

Happy Halloween!
