:: the elf on the shelf - can't wait for silvie to name him.
:: seventh generation chlorine free diapers - good for the environment and best of all, no more creepy disney and sesame street characters staring at me during changes. i mean really, do they have a 20 year contract with huggies and pampers?

last weekend we made a last minute decision to take a trip to portland, oregon, where we shopped (ikea and h&m overload), visited family and ordered room service (which was worth every overpriced penny).
- top left: voodoo's crazy line we just couldn't justify waiting in. high regrets later.
- top right: room service. no regrets. and, aaaaaaand, check out that tongue. kills me.
- middle left: fancy toilet options in our hotel room.
- middle middle: happy mama at mother's bistro for breakfast.
- middle top right: self explanatory.
- middle bottom right: our room at the nines.
- bottom left: fancy girl in our fancy room's light.
- bottom right: came home to a love gift for silvie from auntie chris.

framed!
the last few weeks my mission was to get silvie's newborn pictures done by jen thompson and some recent shots up on the walls. mission accomplished.
i found these frames at our local goodwill. a few cans of spray paint and wah-lah.
and these are actually not frames, but pieces of an antique puzzle i found at my favorite antique mall, purchased by my step-mother for a baby shower gift, and painted to cover what was most likely lead paint. i'm really excited about these because i can easily interchange the photos as she grows.

fall decor
fall is our favorite time of the year; for adam i think it reminds him of back home in maine, for me it means i get to decorate with all my favorite colors. this year we're hosting a small fall potluck with close friends and family and can't wait to get started with the menu next.

p-patch family fun
ok, so fun wouldn't exactly describe our outing to the local fall venue of orange goodness; more "memorable" and "amusing" as we'll look back in years to come i'm sure. between my son's inability to listen to my instructions and my daughter's total colic meltdown prior to our arrival...my patience was shot, not to mention my ability to hold back the frustrated tears.
but eh...it happens...right?! life.
