Pumpkin Patch

Quinn and Oliver enjoying the Buda Pumpkin Patch last Sunday. We picked out a pretty good one, with their help, of course.

Dia de Los Muertos

On Saturday Jay, Oliver and I went to the Viva la Vida fest held downtown by the Mexic-Arte Museum. Oliver was dressed up in his tiger costume for Quinn's Halloween carnival that we stopped by beforehand (Quinn's costume was great as always - photos of her soon).

The festival was worth the parking headache. Papa Bear was working the beer booth and set us up. Oma showed up with little Buster Brown and we all danced to the music and watched the procession go by.

Siblings

Quinn is a great big sister and loves to help with changing Oliver's diapers, giving baths and reading his bedtime story. Moments like this one are just so sweet. I know that they are fleeting and just too few which makes them even more precious.

Learning How to Play a New Game

I randomly ran across some photos of people playing at the Shoreditch Bike Polo Invitational.

It looks like a lot of fun, so I did a little research and found a group here in Austin that plays. They meet on Sundays at 2:00 and Thursdays at 5:30 at Eastwoods Park. This is also an excuse to start a Life List. Got the idea here. Item number 1. Bike Polo.

Marbles = Fun

This is the bext idea for a table EVER! It's called a Marbelous table. I can hear all the little marbles rolling now....I want one please.

From here.

Shoes for Fall

With El Nino forming in the Pacific, this fall and winter is supposed to be cool and wet. I've got an overabundance of sandals and flip flops, but very little to keep my toes warm and dry. So, these are what I've been thinking about: Ciao Bella Finland, Clarks Wallabees, and French Sole Sloop. Easy, simple, goes with everything.

Oh, and I would love this to wear when it gets chilly. Though, I should probably start looking for something similar in my price range.

(Jay just gave me a lesson with Photoshop to modify these images. Hope I can remember what I just learned!)

Quinn and Leo

Choosing the puppy was kinda hard, but we did it. Meet Leo.

(My mom is saving Oliver from a rogue puppy in the background)

Update: Quinn really loved the little black female puppy that she is holding in the second photo - so she is going to take both Leo and this one home in a couple of weeks and decide between the two. oh decisions..... I have a feeling we are going to end up with two little puppies and a Rigby to keep them in line. totally fine by me.

Update to the Update: Quinn has decided that Leo was her first love. So, two little cream colored dogs at home it is. Can't wait until we get to bring Leo home!
