SantaLand

At some point I went to sleep and woke up in SantaLand, a creation of my mother's mind. Doesn't everyone decorate their house like this? I thought not... take a look at our home. And yes, the tree is a little ugly, my dad likes the older lights, they make him happy so we go with it!

Oh Christmas Tree..

Why do you not fit in our living room?

Alas, we had to cut off your head to fit you in!

And then I got to pretend I was Britney lighing the Rockefeller tree....

Here is how the world looked this morning....

I am not sure if I am ready for a New England winter..... but alas it does not matter...

My mom and Stan....

I knew she would grow to love him.

My grad school project...

involves glue and stickers.... sad, i know..... Stan wanted to help too!

My new hair color

As you all know I have Britney Spears hair, so here is my new darker color.....

My day of Freedom

My mom left me the car and some cash last thursday. Here is what I did on my day of Freedom!

Last final!!!

Ok, I only had one, and I am wondering how I really did, but here I am walking out of the building from my final!

'Tis the season!

Last night my mom and I went to a local celebration for Christmas! I tried to listen to the carolers, but my mom was wayyy too distracted by Crate and Barrell. Here are a few pics from our adventure!

Flower class

My mom made me go to flower arranging class at Whole Foods. Can you guess whose is whose?

Halloween!

Here are a few shots of the kid's Halloween costumes!

Clearly the twins added the swords later. I think they are a nice touch!

This is the ugliest tee shirt my mom owns.

Happy Birthday to ME!!!!

Ahhh, November 5.... My day. Here are a few shots from my day, including my loot (all thanks to Target and khole's) and my dinner with my parents. A few of the pics are blurry, but then again I drank my mom's martini's while she was not looking....hehehehe!

My mom gave me her cold/flu

so I am publishing this really bad picture.

Our new friend

Today we confirmed that my friend in the back yard is a skunk. He was eating pumpkins on our front porch. I could not get a great picture of him, I was afraid of the obvious. He was really cute and did not smell at all. He seemed more confortable with us than we were with him. I liked his black and white outfit and have threatened to bring him inside for winter!

Leaf Peeping

Here are a few pics of leaves and trees around my house and at school. It hs been raining so no great folliage for us :(

Funkins!

Even though my mom has dragged my tushie everywhere for pumpkins, she has also purchased Funkins. Fiberglass pumpkins. Funkins. As in "what are those funkin things?" "What, more funkin pumpkins?" You get my idea. Here they are carved.

Finally Some Good Luck

Today our house was COVERED in lady bugs. Since they are supposed to be good luck, I figured about a hundered of them would be more than helpful. These are orange, and I think they are merely getting ready for the Halloween season. All of the black dots you see are beetles. Seriously there were at least a hundred.

Sacred Crows and Scare Cows

Today my mom and I went to Old Wethersfield and checked out the annual scarecrow parade. Here are a few of my favorites! Some one knocked one over and my mom fixed it! For more pics, look here!
