Victorian Horrors

Like last year, we went to the Molly Brown house for the Victorian horrors on our weekly date. It was tales of the sea commemorating the 100 year anniversary of the titanic. It was awesome! What is a Victorian Halloween story read without Edgar Allen Poe? This year his poem was Anabel Lee, the others stories were amazing too. Scary and thoughtful... not creepy, the way I like it (I'm a scary cat that will punch if annoyed in haunted house)!

      The storytellers were fabulous, and there were three older high tea enthusiast women who were in costume on our tour, I absolutely love seeing older people going about life having fun and in costume. They don't let their age stop them from doing things. They told me a good tea place was Miss B's downtown, which  I have not tried yet. We love going to the Victorian horrors  and we will go again as long as we live in the area.  Though weather was hotter then last year so Mr Incredible frowned on the fact that they did not give us apple cider, it just meant that we sweated a little... OK it was a lot, it was really hot in the house. But all in all it was fun night, despite the house was very hot!

 The next day at 7 am, I met up with my dear friend at La Mars donuts( love there seasonal donuts pumpkin) I got Carmel apple cider which was warranted with the weather before my photography seminar that I had a love-hate relationship towards. I loved it because it was inspiring! I hated it because it was no techniques of photography taught and very long!

 

Clothing

Lately our Peanut has been wanting to dress himself. He is very independent(like when he tries to drink out of the milk jug). He will take off his shirt and put on mine or Mr Increditable black, and white stripped shirt it's funny. It looks like he is wearing a dress a large dress, which he loves to run around and play, instead of wearing pants.

 The first time he put on one of daddy's shirts for himself he put the sleeve over his head and got stuck, screaming for my help it. When he put on his own shirt for the first time he put it on upside down stretching the collar and was frustrated that he could not figure out, how to get his arms in the sleeves, and what went wrong. It's a step up from his nudist days on the balcony, hopefully he will not go back.

Canning

So on friday I went and canned at my friends house sans kids we canned applesauce, apple pie filling and cucumbers. Crazy because of how much we had to do and yet fun! I miss my garden this year, due to little C coming we forthwent the community garden, so missed lookng for my butternut squash like an easter egg hunt and trying to grow a mid-sized gaint pumpkin, perhaps this next year.Gaint pumpkins once they hit 850 lbs are to flat to look like beautiful pumpkins.

Sickness was rapid at our house...the only one not effected was me... so that shot our weekend to a low. Though our babysitter came as usual for a weekly date we went to Hotel Translyvia a tradition of going and watching one halloween movie every october since we were married and going to alot of feastivals and parties. I like pumpkins to much to eat to deface them, (its like putting avacodos on on your face, a waste of a good fruit)  gourds are a different story, they grown to be carved on. They are hard to find in stores.

Korkers take forever

So I attempted to make korker hair bows bad idea. One because they take forever to make the korker curl and you have to have tons of ribbon... no wonder why I see tons of people buying them on wholesale for a dollar or 1.25. The ones that I started to make took me like 4 hours+ to do and I'm still not done. And if you see that I have a korker on my crib shoes in the shop that are black and small mark my words they are going to be expensive! Korkers you are killing me, never again.

On the bright side my jingle bells came in with my monarch butterfly wings! So I went to crafting and here is what I got.

If you want them message me and I will give them to you for 10.00 + shipping

                                                        Heart these christmas tutu and shoes.

Craft Fair + taste of Asia party

So on Saturday, I went and helped my prego friend with her C.C baby inc booth at the overland high craft fair. It was really fun, her display were amazing... I regret I didn't have a camera! C.C. Baby Inc is couture baby boutique stuff, she had amazing deals I wanted to buy it all up, instead I sold it. I also had the opportunity to stroll around tried some green lemonade made of kale and found a cupcake bakery named two sistahs with no tasters... how lame is that... hopefully better then gigis, those are way to sweet with little flavor. The Denver cupcake truck has yummy cupcakes they are just in Denver and have no printed schedule that I know of. Oh, how I long for the amazing sprinkles cupcakes, so intensive was my longing a couple weeks ago that I almost bought an overpriced mix at William and Sonomas, but Mr. Incredible stopped me and made me some chocolate ones at home.  The ladies in the booth next to ours from Oh Fudge!spoiled us and gave us their left over samples,  truly divinity in my mouth you can order through them via email, that plus to the 1.5 pounds I bought was able to clean up and enjoy both the cold and the Avengers that night.  

Still I can't believe how cold it got so quick. so we have been busting out our banana dulce tea, which gives me great delight. Yesterday, Mr. Incredible made a fabulous spread of Asia, when a man is determined to cook I stand aside, we had chicken vinadaloo, naan bread, Thai potato curry, Cambodian curry, Thai custard and mango lassis. Our neighbors that came over were awesome company. I'm so glad we did it, Mr. Incredible is grateful for all the left overs.

Little Model

This was from august and I never published it. We went to southglenn fountain to allow Peanut to burn energy out and we were sadden by the fact that we did not bring our camera, seeing  a professional photographer there taking pictures of her son. Peanut did many happy dances in the fountain along with circles around the fountain. Joyous and happy the entire time.  His hamminess attracted the attention of CBESS photographer and asked us if she could get pictures of him. We said sure and she good some amazing photos of him! We are definitely going to get our family photos from her hopefully in the snow!

Back to Africa

We went on our weekly date to the DAM, where Mr Increditble and I loved the African art by El Anatsui a ghanain it was truly inspiring! He created art in so many mediums, aluminum, wood, clay, acylics etc. My favorite was the everchanging pieces of bottle caps and other pieces that looked liked African textiles in the way they flowed. Watching the documentary of him, he said art freed him, and allowed him to express his history through his pieces, for example the Peak milk cap sculptures that are showing daily life in Ghana and consumption. What an amazing man, I'm so glad we went to it.Then we enjoyed the deliable foods at palettes along with the art in there. We talked of art styles that we love and how we are inspired to use our environment to make art...all the cardboard boxes we got in the garage, instead of making the cardboard forts this time we are going to make an art piece.  It's going to be fabulous!
