An afternoon in the life of Audrey...

More of Halloween

Although Halloween is not my favorite "holiday", it did turn out to be a pleasant night for trick or treating. Of course, being armed with bug spray and only walking 2 blocks before returning home helped. Here are the costumes:

Princess 2 (Cinderella):

Anakin Skywalker with flashing lightsaber:

One last coat of bug spray:

Ready to go:

Halloween pumpkin

Since I couldn't fit into any other costumes this year, I decided to squeeze into an orange shirt and just be a sort of pumpkin. Most comfortable costume I've worn yet!

Just the girls

While big brother's at school...

Just the boys

Dad and Big B spent last weekend on a father-son camping excursion! Brendan absolutely loved having dad all to himself. Here are some highlights:

Playing with lots of other boys around the cooking fire:

Throwing things into the fire:


Fishing on the muddy shore:

Look closely to see the bait of choice (a fruit snack):

Lucky boys!

Looks like fall

This post is for my sister who requested some pictures of our fall displays. Although it appears to be cool and crisp, Houston temperatures still average in the 80s (maybe 70s on a cool day). Don't let the orange and brown fool you... about this time of year I get excited to pull out the sweaters and scarves, but alas I remember that it's still shorts and sandals weather. It did feel a bit strange to arrange pumpkins on my front porch in flip flops and a light t-shirt. At least hurricane season is coming to a close!
