the darkness

Who is that following me in the dark?

(it was Jin. *phew*)

As I mentioned before, it gets dark by the time I get home. But today, it was dark, even before I left for home. I am not used to this.

It was the most beautiful day outside today, but I only got to enjoy it in the dark. I enjoyed the smell of the leaves and the crunching sounds they make under our feet. The darkness couldn't take that away.

I haven't been taking too many photos because of the dark though. I shouldn't let it take that away from me.

hello november

I can already feel a november chill.
when I come home, it is dark.

snow should be coming this month, but first comes the frost.
Aren't the frost crystal formations beautiful?

dress up

For halloween, I was the paper bag princess, and Jin was the dragon.

We didn't plan this, but Jin and I made eachother's costumes! I had such a fun time making Jin's dragon! I got the instructions to make this costume here. They have other really cute ideas on this site too! I will probably come back to get more ideas for future halloweens!

And Jin did an amazing job on making my paper dress! He torched it and wrinkled it and reinforced it with clear tape! He is VERY thorough! I wish I had a better photo of my dress to show you!

We went out dancing with friends until the wee hours of the night, and at the end, we were so hungry, we went to eat at McDonalds. I know this sounds disgusting, but McDonalds tastes amazing at five in the morning.

This year was one of the best halloweens I've had!

happy halloween!

Yesterday, we carved our pumpkins! Jin carved a space invader, and I carved a pumpkin coming out of another pumpkin. Scary!! Hopefully these lanterns will let all the children in the neighbourhood know that we are candy friendly!

I need to learn how to take good photos in the dark. Practice practice practice.

We also started making our halloween costumes yesterday. Ours are made out of cardboard and paper, but it looks like it might rain on saturday night. Hmmm...we didn't think this one through did we? Hopefully we will have some pictures to show you! For now, I will keep it hush hush as to what we are going to be.

Today is Nikole's birthday! Happy Birthday dear friend!

And, did you see the illustration by my friend Yukiko? I think it is really adorable!

Happy halloween everyone!
