Postscript: Halloween 2012

November 1, 2012/3 Comments/in Fun, Lucy, Photos, Tate /by Megan

I woke up this morning without a voice, so I guess that means Halloween 2012 was a success!

A last minute costume switch made Tate much happier and a surprise visit from Grandpa didn’t hurt either. Tate went to a few houses in our neighborhood before he headed home to serve as the resident candy giver outer. Lucy and I met up with some buddies from her school and trick or treated for a few hours, followed by a bonfire and s’mores in her friend’s driveway. It was suburban perfection.

Happy Halloween from Izzy the Pirate and Clark Kent!

Since Tate’s dinosaur costume was obviously a bust, we pulled out this superman t-shirt from Old Navy and he went as Clark Kent. Lu was insistent on being Izzy from Jake and the Neverland Pirates and had been begging to be her since August. I told Lu no one would know who she was, but I couldn’t have been more wrong. Everyone was all “It’s IZZY!” everywhere we went. Apparently Izzy is pretty big amongst the first grade crowd. Who knew?

After we got home and put the kids to bed, I settled down with a bucket of candy and a glass of wine to watch some scary movies and the Halloween episodes of New Girl and the Mindy Project. I also made prank photos of myself as a vampire and sent them out to my friends. As one does.

Hey @maralyntho, I made you something...happy Halloween!

All in all a pretty successful Halloween! Hope yours was just as wondrous!

Excuses, Excuses

In lieu of a real post, here’s an outtake from a photo shoot this weekend with one of my favorite families. Right now I’m a bit overworked and starting to feel it in my bones. So for today, I’m asking for a absentee pass, so that I can cure what ails me with some soup, a hot toddy and a Vampire Diaries marathon. Thanks for understanding. You are my favorites.

P.S. Okay, okay…a few more from this weekend’s shoot. But only because I love ya!

Happy Weekend!

Happy Friday, all! This week has flown by for me, but I suppose that’s to be expected. It’s almost Halloween, then it will be Thanksgiving, then we have birthday after birthday after birthday, then it’s Christmas, then New Years and then I will sleep forever and ever, amen. Our weekend is pretty packed with friend time tonight, an early photoshoot tomorrow morning and our first Chiefs game of the season on Sunday! It should be a fun (but probably not very relaxing) few days. I also need to finish the kids’ Halloween costumes and carve a pumpkin or two. Viva la weekend!

Here are some posts from around the web to keep you entertained while I’m away:

Do you hate scary/gory movies? Do you love Halloween? Yeah, me too. I have a new post up at the Zesty Digest, and this one gives you the skinny on Halloween movies for weenies. You know, films that will help you keep your Halloween cred, while not making you want to throw up or have a panic attack? Score!

Love this post over at the Simple Lovely blog, Walk Slowly and Carry a Small Bag. I need to work on this, for sure.

Awesome people hanging out together (via Dooce).

I’m so, so excited about the launch of Go Mighty! I’ve been a huge supporter of the Life List movement (you can find mine here or in the sidebar under “Life Menu”) and I am pumped to learn about the next steps. You can learn the why and when here, then go sign up!

This post from Fat Mum Slim really got to me. How I wish we could all just love our bodies as they are…easier said than done.

Remember when we did a cooking series with Miss Lane a few years back? Well, I still make her granola, because it’s fantastic and super easy, and she has a new recipe on her blog that adds a little pumpkin to the mix. I’m gonna have to try this one!

The Hidden Soldiers: Women of War in Pictures.

This photographer taught himself how to use a camera in 2008. 2008! Now I’m feeling super under accomplished….

So, this happened tonight... #mummy #halloweenfood

One of my best purchases ever was this circle scarf in 2009 from the illbeyarned Etsy shop. Has held up beautifully!

I am a study in contradictions.... #wtf #hope #luck #love (@tattly)

Mini Shoot Sneak Peek!

October 24, 2012/2 Comments/in Photos /by Megan

This past weekend I held my first Fall Mini Shoot, and I have so say, I think it went pretty well! I’m still in the midst of editing all the photos, but I wanted to share a few of my favorites so far…special thanks to everyone who came out to get their photo taken. I hope you love them!

Happy Weekend!

Happy Friday, everyone! I’m am really excited for this weekend, because I’m hosting my first of the Fall Mini Shoots! I have to admit, I’m a bit nervous as well, but I’m hoping the nerves will fade by go time. Other than that, we don’t have any big plans. I’m hoping to work on the kids’ Halloween costumes and maybe watch some Halloween-y movies as well. Note, I did not say scary movies. I don’t do scary.

Here are some of my favorite links from around the web this week:

What should you be buying at Forever 21? Natalie has the best weekly roundups on Babble.

A local KC web personality, The Bearded Gamer, surprised his opera star girlfriend during a show at the Folly Theater with a proposal. Yeah, this is good stuff.

Mitt Romney looking longingly at people…the guy needs to star in his own romantic comedy, for reals!

How many famous actors have appeared on Law and Order? A million, apparently.

I love this idea of getting up extra early to have quiet moments with your partner before the rest of the world wakes up. Now, if only Trent was a morning person.

The best sign outside the second presidential debate has Obama leading a dinosaur that’s being ridden by Mitt Romney. Because why the hell not?

Amy Poehler and Tiny Fey are hosting the Golden Globes! Hooray! High fiving a million angels! Here are some of their greatest TV moments together.

Do you think using lines from Taylor Swift songs would work to pick up girls? Yeah, me either, but it’s pretty hilarious watching someone test it out.

Hi, I’m Megan and I will almost always cry at any time lapse video that is space program focused…and in that same breath, here’s a time lapse of the space shuttle Endeavour traveling through L.A. to get to the museum where it will be housed.

This is my favorite hair tutorial EVER! A Bride of Frankenstein how to!

Here are some of our Instagram shots from this week. Many of them are from our weekend in Gove, which seems to be the theme of the week around here. You can follow our adventures on Instagram at @crazy_bananas.

Their love of reading together is probably my favorite. #latergram
