5 Years

This weekend I had some gal friends up to Beacon for a movie-watching slumber party.  We ended up watching football (yay, Seahawks!) and playing board games and eating A LOT of food.  We also previewed Lauren's movie, SMILE, that she is just wrapping up and entering into festivals.  We watched it twice because it is that good.

On Sunday afternoon Abe and I celebrated our 5 year dating anniversary by taking Lily for a walk and ordering Japanese food (we had already eaten brunch at Max's.).  I can't believe we've been together for 5 years - it's kind of nuts.  Paws was only 4 years old when we met and now he's a grumpy old man!  I'm so excited to marry him (Abe, not Paws) in just a few months eeeek! 

Autumn Adventures

This weekend was full of autumn-loving fun. On Friday Abe and I drove to New Paltz and met with our wedding caterer.  They're awesome and I feel like we knocked a major task off the list.

On Saturday I went for a hike up Mount Beacon and did some leaf peeping and collecting.   Then I went home and worked on a new autumn craft how-to.  Saturday night Abe and I went to dinner and totally splurged by turning on the heat before we left the house.  When we got home it was nice and toasty inside and we promptly passed out on the couch.

On Sunday afternoon I drove to Westchester to visit friends and we took their kids (ok, ok, they actually did it for my benefit) to the Lyndhurst Castle to see the scarecrows on the lawn.  I think I read there were 500 of them made by students from area school.

Apple Picking Time

Went to Fishkill Farm this weekend and ate our way through the apple orchards.  We took home 20 lbs of Macouns, Macintoshes and Spartans, and continued to eat our way through the weekend.

Clay used to spray on the apples in lieu of pesticides.

American Gothic

If I could...just...reach...my utility belt...

Just a few more!

This dude wanted to kick my ass so hard.

My Weekend

Friday

Saturday

Saturday Night

Sunday

This weekend we hiked Mt. Beacon and enjoyed some awesome, free music from the band Dead Empires in the DMV parking lot.  Beacon hosts something called Second Saturdays - a city-wide celebration of the arts held on the second Saturday of every month when galleries and shops stay open until 9pm. Gallery openings, music are just some of the ongoing events

Labor Day Weekend 2010

My sister, Ezra and Wesley came for a quick visit and we had a campfire in the backyard and hiked up Mt. Beacon. We had other visitors on Sunday night, but the camera didn't make it out - sorry Tim and Sabrina! We had another campfire and went on more walks.
