Photography, and my recent activites

So, I've been toting around a growing pile of film for the last few weeks. I loath running in and out of the grocery store multiple times with a bunch of kids in tow. So the film has been taking over a counter, and then my purse. It's so much more painful financially when I do this. Not that it cost less when I do it all at once, but I don't notice it as much!

I finally got all my shots uploaded to flickr, but I figured I'd post some of my favorites here...and some that are more significant. That way we can have a little run down on what I've been doing for the past month or so! Ready?

The Mr. and I took the boys to experience our new town. Lucky us, they had a little festival on main street which we got to explore. Lots of nifty little antique shops, typical fair food, and a petting zoo. We all had lots of fun!

On the eldest's birthday, we all went to a local football game. Apparently, the Belton Pirate's were division champs last year...not so much this year. We still had lots of fun though!

And just because he's so hot...

The next week, we had a joint birthday party for me, the Mr., the oldest and the middle. Grandparents came, an aunt, uncle and cousins, all much to the joy of my boys.

With so many people in the house, I had the chance to run out to the grocery store...and, smart girl, I took my camera. Which gave me the opportunity to shoot something I'd wanted to catch for a while.

Halloween weekend was crazy: My birthday lunch,

trick-or-treating fun,

getting to see an old friend...we spent our whole growing up together, running in the woods, peeking through the neighbors fence, building fires and smoking fake cigarettes...and I haven't seen her since I was preggers with the eldest!

That evening, we had the Marine Corps Ball. Which was amazing, and tons of fun, and I'm ever so greatful to my parents for watching the short people. I really didn't get pictures, so as soon as we get the professional ones, I promise they'll be here.

That's really about it, for now. Besides the election. But I didn't take any pictures of that. So, I'll leave you with a couple that I like how they turned out, particularly well.
