This month I took pictures of my outfits every day, not just on work days. So I have a rogues gallery of myself while sick (the 4 days in pajamas), wearing Adam’s McLaren shirt for Favorite Sports Team Day, in costume as Waldo, and sometimes even with Adam lurking in the background.

I am so late to the pumpkin carving table this year, it’s been a long week. But today I finally carved up some pumpkins, with Adam’s help. First time he’d ever carved one!
Last year I did spooky villages and jack o’ lanterns painted black. This year I carved “Trick or Treat” into 3 pumpkins (although my “Treat” looks pretty insane). Adam carved a face, and I carved a face, too. Now they’re all glowing on the porch, ready for tomorrow’s trick-or-treaters. Adam took these photos for me, I’m terrible at night-time photos.
I tried to make all the words a different font, but my “Treat” just came out ginormous. The candle inside keeps blowing out because the holes are big and let all the wind in. :/
Last year I went as the Paper Bag Princess for Halloween. This year all the teachers decided to dress up as Waldo. I decided I had the perfect hair for Waldo’s hat, so I spray painted my hair red and white (with Adam’s help!) to look like his hat. I kind of loved this costume! The shirt was $10 at Old Nay, then $6 for hair paint and I was done. And the kids got such a huge kick out of seeing me with my hair dyed, although a lot of them thought I was the Cat in the Hat.
I made Beef Teriyaki for dinner tonight and remembered I made this same recipe a while back with pork, took photos, and never posted it. So, the time has come. It’s a super-simple recipe that takes maybe half an hour to prepare (including the time it takes to make the rice in our rice cooker). I add snow peas (and sometimes red onion) to make it a full-on stir fry.
