Everett homecoming weekend

This was Everett Homecoming weekend. Luckily for us we were all organized so it was a pretty easy day for the young pup. So easy in fact that Mr Big and I decided to start the day with an antique show at Rust and Ruffles. This is basically a old junk and craft festopia, and we love love love this kind of thing. Mostly it's an idea gathering mission. When you are in the company of so much creativity it kind of rubs off on you... As you might expect my mind is overflowing with ideas for projays. I loved that there where tonnes of inspirational quotes around as you travelled the booths

The only bummer is that most of the vendors only took cash, so I couldnt buy this awesome little collection of initials that would have been perfect at Castle Allen

After a few hours of junking it was time to get into homecoming mode. Lil Gary was in full chill out mode when we got home do I grabbed him to pick up a few groceries. I thought it was hysterical while we were there we had the following convo:
Elliott: (picks up ham steak) when I get married this is going in my wedding gift registry
Me: OMG - it looks like a mouth

Hilarity ensued...

Next was trying to get said boy outdoors for some pictures. The light was really poor ( it is late October after all ) but I think we got a couple of good ones. I can't believe this was his last homecoming dance. July is coming way too soon. He looked do handsome ... I think you can see where he gets those good looks from ...

Elliott went with his gal-pal Mairin. They made a fine looking pair!

And I was thrilled to have them plus Elliott's BFF and his date at the Castle for photos

Next day we set out for a day in the country. We got to visit two pumpkin patches and invented a fabulous coffee concoction - a hot buttered rum mocha latte. Try it, you'll thank me later

I really need a few days of this

I loved this window

Our haul - corn stalks, three pumpkins and some babykins. Can't wait to put them up at home!
