We have a little somethin' somethin' for ya, and by 'little somethin' somethin'' I mean random pictures about everything and nothing. It's officially Fall in my book. The mornings are chilly and at times foggy and my air conditioner no longer needs to be turned on. Sad face. So we decided to ring in October with a bit of Halloweenyness. Yup, that's a word.
While we were in North Carolina it rained all but one day. It's all good though because this is when we get most creative. We decided to leave Daddy with something to remember us and Halloween by, so we bought a pumpkin and all pitched in to paint it. Oh and let me first mention that I drove 13 hours and arrived at 5am after barely making it due to damn near running out of gas...I never carry cash and my debit card suddenly started getting declined near the end of the trip despite the fact that I had money in my account. And of course it was 4 in the morning so the bank wasn't open for me to figure out what was going on. After spend $30 that I had pulled out earlier in the week with the intent to pay a friend with, my car showed that when I pulled in the boyfriend's driveway I had less than two miles of gas left in my tank. Talk about close call. Turns out my bank's fraud department froze my account since I was spending "outside" my "normal spending habits"...thanks USAA, I guess, except I was almost stranded with three kids and a cat on a Saturday morning in an unfamiliar town. Can you tell I'm still bitter? And can you see the hot mess I was upon arrival? That face says so much...
I guess it's a good thing my girlfriend had Friday off so I was unable to give her the cash I had. Otherwise I'd been shit outta luck. But enough pissing and moaning. Where were we? Ah, yes, pumpkin...
We didn't have a vision, we just dove right in and began painting - Bear cub supervised.
When Bear grows up he wants to learn how not to be afraid to go out in the rain. But until that day comes he'll remain inside and watch me as I take pictures of the dreariness.
And when you ring in the Fall you have to include cupcakes. It's a part of the rules.
And when you give the kids a cupcake (or five) you have to include the massive German Shepherd too (sans icing of course).
But not until he shows you those smooth listening skills Daddy has taught him over the past few months.
Down. Stay.
GET IT! ...so fast that Mommy can hardly get a photo of you.
Why you ragin' Bear? We just gave you a cupcake...
And you have to take advantage of the crisp weather on days that don't bring rain - here's where put-put golf comes in to play. This is beginning to sound like the book If You Give a Mouse a Cookie.
And am I the only one that noticed rule number two? Uh, I think we may have a problem if Baby Rumbarger(s) ever come to fruition - I call that Large Family Discrimination, let's all protest! No? Mmkay.
Leave it to Ari to find an insect and remove her shoes within the first 20 minutes of our arrival. Oh, and to look cute doin' it.
We had a good time. Their faces said it all.
Even if we did have to go chasing after our balls more than a few times. Get your head out of the gutter.
Fall also means the boyfriend and I have our wedding anniversary. It'll be four years in November - that's half a decade! That's...like...whoa! We wanted to celebrate while we were together, even if it was a little less than a month early. And since it was a trip to see Daddy, and we wanted to soak up all the family time we could, we turned it into a family affair thanks to the kids. What they did for us was adorable, but you'll have to wait for those deets closer to our actual anniversary, besides, I didn't give the boyfriend his present yet.
All in all we had a great time, even if Owen does look like he's suffering from a lack of oxygen. That kid and his faces, smh...
