halloween weekend

friday night we went to my family's house

to carve pumpkins

eat pizza

and watch it's the great pumpkin charlie brown!

my dad did what he does every year

and brought out his power tools to make carving pumpkins a little more exciting...

bennett took a really long time to plan his out and carve it...

to go along with his costume

he carved a jaws themed pumpkin!

we loved on lucy.

a whole lot.

then on saturday,

we went with my mom to the downtown franklin pumpkin fest.

we had so much fun eating and drinking and walking around.

several people recognized bennett's costume

(chief martin brody from jaws)

but no one really knew mine...

(pregnant mommy fashion blogger)

most people just thought i was actually pregnant

which, heck, i was totally fine with : )

*not pictured is the laptop i made to go along with my costume

**thanks steph, for taking this picture : )

i had to take the obligatory belly shot...

happy halloween!

hope your day is filled with plenty of candy

hot chocolate

and cute trick-or-treaters!

love,

a mommy fashion blogger and chief martin brody

have a good weekend!

experimenting with encaustic

yesterday i did my first encaustic painting

and i am now obsessed.

encaustic painting is basically painting with hot wax

but you can add pigment to it

and layer in other things like tracing paper

found objects

and so much more.

it is really fun to work with

and there is so much you can do with it!

sequoia

how amazing is this photograph?

i think i'm in love...

camping

camping was a blast.

we pitched our tent where we weren't allowed

and rock climbed

and peed in the woods

and made a fire

and told ghost stories

and ate hobos in the campfire

and s'mores (duh)

and then all 4 of us crammed into one tent

snuggled up real close

and went to sleep.

melancholia

one night in our cabin

we opened a bottle of wine

made a fire

and watched melancholia.

such an amazing and beautiful film.

i definitely need to watch it again.

and it didn't hurt that charlotte gainsbourg is a total babe.

home

i'm back!

and i feel so refreshed after our little getaway.

i'm taking 4 rolls of film to get developed

and i'm so excited to see them and post some on here real soon.

until then,

here are some pretty photographs to look at:

after that

bennett and i are spending a couple days in a cabin at fall creek falls

where we're going to hike
