From Legos to Lighthouses to Pumpkins

The past 2 1/2 weeks have been a whirlwind. Mostly amazing, sometimes frustrating and lots of fun. So tonight's post is a catch up of my photos of the day. I'm getting caught up. I promise photos of my New England trip will be coming soon.  I have seriously around a thousand of photos to edit and convert from the trip, Halloween, Pumpkin Patch, a wedding & photo sessions. But for now here are my photos of the day.

Friday, October 16 – Squirt built a Lego cafe, rabbits included. According to Squirt it's not a restaurant but a cafe since restaurants have waiters and this cafe doesn't. Not sure where the rabbits come into play though, but hey he's got imagination. And 2 photos just so you get all sides.

Wednesday, October 21 – We were at sea all that day. My least favorite part. I like to be busy and exploring. But the sunset that night was beautiful.

Thursday, October 22 – We flew home that day arriving back in Birmingham by 4 p.m. By the time I made it back to my sister's and got my van traffic on the road home was insane so I had to snap a photo in the mirror while sitting at a redlight. I'm sure the people behind me thought I was crazy.

Friday, October 23 – My mom gave me her grandmother's sewing box on my last trip home. It's old and worn, but it's still cool. Interesting to think about all the items it held over time.

Wednesday, October 28 – Had a minor snafu with the van servicing and had to borrow my mom's car.  I had to go back to my parents' to get my mom so she could take me to get my van. I had to stop and take a photo of my beloved foothills before leaving. The reds have not been as vibrant this year though.
