let the fall-ish antics begin!

oh yeah that's right.  today is the first day of fall muh friends.  wanna know what's awesome about that?  well besides apple crisp, pumpkin cookies, boots, sweaters, football, cinnamony-spicy candles, & holidays that encourage hoarding candy & eating turkey until you pass out in a tryptophan-induced coma?  for starters, it's supposed be to 80 degrees here today.  apparently fall is the new summer in the pnw.  i'll take it.  i have the next ten months to wear boots & sweaters anyways.  but i'm still gonna hoard candy & make chocolate chip pumpkin cookies... it just feels right.

wanna know a secret?  my heart hasn't been into blogging this week.  i've kinda been all over the place & by the time i open up this blog at night i am already completely drained.  this results in a significant decrease in the flow of wittiness & inspiration from the fingers.  i am t-i-r-e-d.

and no, i'm not pregnant.

i've been spending lots of late nights working on the new photography biz {think fun things like business models, learning tax laws, insurance policies & web design... yawn} & working on home makeover projects.  if you're curious, the count is now up to four uncompleted projects.  but they're all moving along steadily... kinda.

and i feel like i can't really post any pictures until they're completely done.  but when is a home decor project ever really done?  for example, i picked out some awesome fabric for new curtains in our family room so as soon as i hem those bad boys up i can show you right?  wrong.  because next i have to change the throw pillows.  and of course the wall decor around them is all wrong.  so it might be just a little bit longer... but i am so excited to switch things up around the house.  it was SO needed!

so until my craftiness surfaces on the blog again, you'll have to settle on cute pictures of my kid.  yes, it's p-ray, celebrating the first day of fall by nom-ing on an apple.

sidenote:  ya see that tee pee from lilybaby in the background?  you could have one just like it if you win my giveaway next week.  so get excited, get very very excited.

and now?  i'm excited to go to bed.  because it just might be the first time i'm in bed before midnight.  or 1 am for that matter.  thank goodness p-ray likes a good dose of sesame street snuggled up with me in bed first thing in the morning.  that part is actually kinda awesome.  sorry baby-watching-tv haters, it's true.  early morning sesame street baby snuggles?  are the best.

also the best?  your votes.
