Found this by my front door today.

A sweet note from my sweet girl.

A little rain wasn't going to stop me today...well actually it did...I totally wimped out and hit the treadmill instead. Are you kidding me? It was a blustery 45 and pouring this afternoon. I may be intense sometimes, but I'm not crazy!

Suffering from a case of the Thursday "Blahs" today. Come on Friday, bring me some sunshine!

Dark, grainy and totally worth it to capture that smile. Her first costume party and she nailed it!

Someone found his dad's iPad and has been zoning out on football and racing games for an hour. Brain Drain.

I think his time has just about expired for this season. He was looking a little dazed and confused as a result of our unseasonably warm temps today.

So good, yet so bad. One of life's great conundrums.

A quick dress rehearsal for halloween. She says she's a "nice vampire that gives blood instead of taking blood." I'm cool with that.

Her first time watching The Princess Bride...True Love!

Keeping it simple.

Spent the weekend with family at a Wisconsin Dells Resort and Indoor Waterpark. I was not allowed to leave Sunday until my brother beat the arcade pop-a-shot record. He's a legend.

Inspired by Sunday night's Green Bay victory.

"I can't walk through life facing backwards, I have tried." Thought I could squeeze in my walk before the rain came, but I was wrong. Made it about a mile before the downpour...I was soaked.

"We draw our lines with very different ends."

We have one maple tree tucked away in the back yard and today it was showing off it's true colors.

Long day of sports for this fella; football in the morning and volleyball all afternoon. Tomorrow he plays lacrosse. So much for a restful weekend!

"And I felt this way before, of walking out your front door, I am a sea without a shore, And its raining, it's really raining, I think I'll go inside." -Joshua Radin

They say to eat a variety of colors and types...does this count?

Working on a fun logo for a client...made some sketches with good 'ol paper and pencil, now I just need to transfer these to the computer. Gonna be a busy weekend.

Rainy day? Check! Leaves falling to the wet pavement? Check! Cozy sweater? Check! Mug of cocoa? Check! I think I'm set.

Friday night rush hour...ready for the weekend to begin.

And just like that the trees went Pop!

Little House on the Prairie expert.

Nature just doing its part to help pretty-up the neighborhood. Didn't expect to see these in bloom again. A pleasant surprise.

How many other 8 year olds can say they had a bubbly foot massage while doing their homework? Perhaps we spoil her a bit too much...

I'm not sure that relaxation really has a texture, but if it did, this is what it might look like. Everyday is a good day for tea. Especially those days when you need a little extra warmth to help soothe the soul.

It's October and since I can't fast-forward the calendar to May, I guess I just have to roll with it. So welcome back boots, apron and apple pie.
