Something Different This Way Comes

Lately I’ve been feeling slightly under the weather, and this seems to lead to complain-y me and cranky-me and anxious-me and weepy-me. There have been a couple triggers to get the anxious-me and weepy-me amped up a little, and you don’t want to read about that. I don’t even want to talk about it.

So instead, here is what I did Saturday:

We went to a “local” (1.5 hour away) pumpkin festival so the kids could wander around in their costumes and I could forget to take the obligatory pumpkin patch photos. I did get them being superheros on the hay bales though:

My mom babysat Saturday evening and C and I had a lovely date night where we ate great food and drank our last bottle of honeymoon wine (which was delightful) and then went to a bar to have more cocktails (French 75 for me and scotch for the man) and talk for a couple hours. It was lovely. I love being reminded that we like each other as people outside our familial/children obligations.

And here’s what I did last night:

Look at that! I finally made Spencer’s Peter Pan costume! It’s not perfect; the hat is a little janky and I’ve made it twice so I really don’t want to make it again. The whole thing is slightly too small because I cut out based on his current clothes but didn’t leave room for the sewing part. But it will do, and he loves it. It only has to last for Thursday, technically. And he’ll have other clothes if he has issues.
