weekend pretties: fall leaves and fall shorts and fall skies, aaamen!

my mom’s beautiful pink blooms in october… haaallelujah!

my little leaf scavengers!! they collected bags of pretty leaves for a little afternoon craft with gaga. 🙂

oh, hello there, SKY perfection! also, everything to rocco lately is “up, up sky!” which is just basically saying.. up. as in… he wants to climb up something, he sees a plane up in the sky, be tossed up in the air, or he’s making sure you fill his juice “up, up sky!” he is anything but understated, and gah, iiii love. him. so. much.

um, have i mentioned it’s shorts and uggs weather??! tis the season!!! it’s the best of all worlds!!!! get on my page, people! i mean, really… we don’t get much of this weather in the south, but when we do… i’m on it.

of course, i’ll never forget my first [or second? i don’t remember…] visit to malibu, CA where i finally [!!!] discovered other people like me… strolling into coffee shops wearing short shorts and ugg boots in search of a nice steamed, dairy-free latte!! ahhhh! a world i belong in!!!! but then i was like “wait… but how does literally everyone here look like a model?” because, i mean HOW? the south is not like that, there’s too much deliciously tempting cuisine. anyway, despite being completely intimidated, i loved it there. and whenever i am flying solo in my love of shorts and uggs, i just tell myself that there are probably maybe people like me still out there somewhere! 😉

also!!!! very, very important: i managed to snag my favorite shorts WITHOUT holes in them!! ON SALE!!!! seriously, i have yet to pay full price for these shorts… i just make sure and find a good sale opportunity! i was so excited about this one. they still have a lot of sizes left, it looks like. [for reference, i wear my regular size in them!]

can i even end a post without mentioning coffee or how much of it i need?! you know it’s true! ps. i know it’s like “hey, where are your pumpkin patch photos, or are you just completely failing as a mother?!?!?!” haha. maybe it’s true, but the kiddos have been painting little pumpkins, and i mean, at least we have a trail full of crunchy fall leaves?!

ok, ily, bye!
