Today was a full throttle day from the time we woke up. Sydni was up at 3am to remind me that, "kids are coming over today!!!," and from there on out it was non-stop until our heads hit the pillow again.

"honey, it's 3am. we still have a few hours."
- [skeptical response...] |
First things first: Why pay a gutter service when you can just do it yourself?
 |
| do it yourself. |
:). I was wrapping up the gutters just as Trish and the kiddos rolled up, jackets and snacks in hand, for an early afternoon of pumpkin painting and carving.
 |
| the girls (: |
 |
| mamas & kiddos |
Sarah made it out after work, with her daughter in tow. There were then 5 kids attacking one pumpkin..
 |
| paint, paint... and more paint! |
 |
| the aftermath? beautiful! |
Once the pumpkins had been thoroughly - and I mean
thoroughly painted, the kids migrated to the front yard for some cardio and leaf-mud sandwiches [made, not eaten.. as a sidenote ;).. ]
 |
| gosh... love them ;) |
Soon enough, the kids departed, and we took a deep breath in preparation for round two: Jessica and Andrew soon arrived with their pumpkins. Sydni was off to her dad's for her father-daughter dance, so the grown-ups were left to their own devices.
 |
| great action shot of bumper & sasha! |
 |
| caramel apples!! nomnomnom |
 |
| lol.. pumpkins ;) |
Round 2 of the day complete [carved pumpkins & caramel apples], we parted ways again to rest up and prepare for the evening, which was decidedly going to be spent in the bows of OTR.
We started our venture at 1215 Wine Bar, if you count our standing in one spot for 20 minutes deciding where the rest of the night would be spent. If that doesn't qualify, then we technically started with a pitstop at The Drinkery before they somehow coerced me into going to - and staying at - Japp's for more than a half hour.

yeah, so i guess when i'm photographed mid-laugh,
i look... super asian. ^_^ |
 |
this folks, is what otr had to work with tonight...
oh i'm proud of this one.. hahaha.. |
 |
| that fan. we're music video superstars.... ;) |
We soon retired from the heat of Japp's and found our final grounds for the night: The
Famous Neon's Unplugged!
 |
| oh, lovely neons! |
 |
| runnin' the town.. into the ground [laaa dee daaaa... ] |
 |
we found chad!
ps - can't even be mad at the chick who bombed this...
.... she nailed it. #thanksdoodydood |
 |
| nobody knows. |
 |
that time jessica's hand was 2 feet in front of my face
& managed to still look insanely inappropriate. |
 |
i'm a cat. rob's an angry ghost.
#notsure... |
 |
| some more of this.. |
 |
| ... and consequently this, too. |
And it's Neon's, so there's Jenga...
 |
| we lost. |
Along with a few hundred of our closest friends, we closed down Neon's and made one last pitstop for grub at Lucy Blue's before calling it a night.
 |
| pizza. because... yes. |
PHEW.
.. yes, this is backdated..
G'Nite!
