Halloween Flashback

My brother, cousin, me, and cousin.

the gaggle of boys I grew up with ;D 

(and please take note of that rad wallpaper behind us)

Hosting a Halloween party for my step dad this weekend...

and still don't have a costume!

Have you got a good one??? Do tell...

And do you think that if enough people made a stink about it... 

we could designate Halloween (permanently)

 as the last Friday or Saturday of October? 

trick or treating on a Monday? C'mon!!!

So Squirrely

Stitchy squirrels

hind leg standin' squirrel

 "check out my perfect profile" squirrel

 free loading squirrel 

 "can't catch me up here", cheeto eating squirrel

 reverse pompadour squirrel

 buckin' bronco double back leggin' squirrel

 "you distract her from the front, I'll run around the back" squirrel

An unusual aquatic daredevil squirrel

 
That squirrel can water ski

That's Nutty, the waterskiing squirrel from 

one of the [still] most quoted movies I've ever watched, Anchorman. 

No squirrels were harmed in the making of this post. 

All were photographed by yours truly, excluding the lil' guy on skis. 

Happy Wednesday

and g'night!

Wrappin' up the Summer Series

I was fortunate enough to make it to 3 Hollywood Bowl shows this summer. 

I think it is quite possibly my favorite concert site... may be that I just love the company,

or sitting under the stars listening to all different kinds of music, 

or the fun food/drinks you get to bring in... whatever it may be... I stinkin' LOVE it!

First up: Reggae Night

 My brother, me, hubby

 me, Erick, Juan, and Steph (my sissy) :)

 sibs

 Markus (cousin), Mike (brother)

 Heidi and Markus

reggae dudes :D

Next: Rodrigo Y Gabriela

They were SO rad!!!!! 

Mike and I got there extra early 

(like a whole two hours early- oops... so we enjoyed a leisurely picnic

and some geeky photos :D 

 My Mama sewed this dress back in '71. It's one of my favs!!!

 Mike, me, Anne, Ruben 

 Gabriela and Rodrigo jamin' together. 

She was seriously "one" with her guitar- it's nuts!

firework extravaganza at the end.

The bowl's on FIIIRRRRRE!!!!!! 

And Last.. but not least by any means... Neko Case :D

ahhh... no Neko close ups, but I do have these fun shots of us being nerds! 

 Ruben and Mike show us how fun really happens

 Mike, Jaun, and Steph

 Mike, Anne, and Erick goofin'

 my sibs :D

And there you have it. I don't think I've ever posted that many pictures at the same time,

the blogger police are gonna be kicking my door down any minute!!! 

I'm partly dreaming of all the summer fun, as my reality now is ScHoOl non stop til June!

There's always Halloween :D 

You dressing up? 

WE ARE!!!!! 

My Papa's 65th bday is being held at our house...

which means there is a totally valid excuse for the adults to dress up (again) ;)

Shoot... we do it every year anyway~ 

Have a great night!
