on my way to work this morning i passed a field of flags that had really great sunlight shining across them. of course i had to pull over and take some photos!

i went and saw mineral last night at the masquerade in atlanta. they rocked it out for sure, i couldn’t believe they sounded so good after not touring since 1997! i still have vivid memories of seeing them play in tampa and gainesville, florida on their farewell tour with the get up kids and jejune.

although they definitely looked older, mineral’s music still held up and sounded amazing live. it was exciting to see them play songs from endserenading as well. they had broken up before the album was released in 1998 and did not play those songs live back in the day.

on a side note, hot water music played upstairs at the masquerade last night as well. i was able to check them out after mineral played. i don’t know much of their music after their first few albums though, so i didn’t stay too long. it still felt like a fun florida-hardcore evening seeing those two bands play!

grey was totoro for halloween this year! we were worried he wouldn’t like wearing the costume, however in the end he did not want to take it off.

we set up our jack-o-lantern tv again this year. it’s quite fun and can be re-used year after year. to make your own, just buy a super cheap tv at the thrift store, apply some painters tape on the screen for the eyes & mouth, and spray paint orange. peal off the painters tape when it’s dry and voilà, you have your very own jack-o-lantern tv! it’s a super easy fall project!

happy halloween!

the kids costumes were pretty awesome this year! gub did some fine work. grey was totoro from my neighbor totoro and clementine was princess leia. the kids have been way into the original star wars movie as of late.

we decided to take advantage of the beautiful fall morning and headed to southern belle farms for some good ol’ fashioned outdoor fall fun! in the process, we got this ginormous pumpkin, or the great pumpkin as we like to call it!

more photos from southern belle farms to come!
