hello, november.

 this was monday.  the first day of november.  it was beautiful. :)


since emily does all kinds of fun stuff at school that aiden has to miss, i try to do spontaneous things with him.  so last minute that even i'm not prepared for them.  we went to the park today and i had no camera.  thank you, dear blackberry for taking the place of my canon. :)





if you've ever taken your child to the park, you know it's impossible to get them to stay still.  and the phone needs the subject to remain completely STILL.  i can't believe they even came out this good! :)

by the last shot, aiden wanted to just go play, and honestly i was just using him as an excuse to take a photo of the red tree.  haha.


i've been trying to be productive this week when it comes to painting outside.  the november weather is already much cooler and i don't know how many 50 degree+ days there are left before it's too cold to paint.  some of my painting projects are finally completed. 

old rusty hook i bought for $3, now painted and ready for the kids to hang their coats on.  emily has a ballet pink hook for her coat, as well.


the free table from the neighbors curb.  it's a krylon color called smoke gray...there's not actually any blue or green to it.  just gray.


my 79 cent loaf pans from the salvation army for an upcoming project... i shut the garage door on one. it was already dented a little and the door hit it in the same place, so there was only paint damage.  awesome.  they've seen a few coats of paint since then. haha.

i have a lot more projects to do with spray paint, but the staff at walmart is starting to eye me suspiciously.  i got carded today when i got my gray can.  honestly, i wouldn't be worried about anyone buying paint unless it was the clear coat stuff.  that junk is super strong! 
gonna have to start hittin' michael's and hobby lobby for paint. :)
