Happy Halloween!

{ Wheeeee! }

une baguette et vin

Happy Pre-Halloween, everybody!  Last night Warren and I dressed up as a frenchman and a sailor and went to our friend Bryce's house for a spooky evening.  Mostly we ate all the candy that was intended for local chillens, but no kids came to the house anyway.

{ Not shown: my costume also included a bottle of red wine and a baguette. }

{ Warren made a pipe out of some paper, a Tootsie Pop Roll and some cotton batting.  Pro. }

Wasps, Bikes, and Cookies

To keep a record of how this First Year of marriage is faring, I'm going to try to do one blog post a week as a sum-up of all the fun we're having.  (Unless there is no fun to speak of, in which case I'll post my favourite sad songs for the week.)

{ I'm not usually squeamish about wasps, but this one sounded like a motorcycle. Warren annihilated him, but it took three hits with a shoe to get him to go down.  Terrifying. }

{ Here's a picture of Warren being a champ and sanding down our tandem bike frame by hand so we can paint it candy apple red and be the envy of hipsters everywhere. }

 { While Warren sanded down the tandem,  I sat on this. }

{ And ate these. } 

{ Running low on cookies is a problem over here, so I made more.  I accidentally used mint chocolate chips instead of regular ones, which could have been a disaster.}

{ They were, however, received well. }

Ridin' Dirty

Warren came home from a bike ride tonight and although I didn't manage to take a picture of his clothes before he stuffed them into the wash, or his face before he showered, I CAN show you his shoes.

You should see the bike.

light experiments

I'm starting a mentorship with AG Photography, and Amanda was kind enough to take me out and teach me some essential facts about my new camera.  Here are a few results.

Thanks for being such a good sport and a cute face, A.

Starting Afresh

Yesterday I bid farewell to my job at the funeral home and to my little bamboo plant that will probably die without the constant affection it's used to.  RIP lil guy.
