october in pictures



i can't remember what triggered an intense desire to dig, but jonathan had it one afternoon and was sobbing because i wouldn't take him to the park (in my defense, the weather was pretty awful, although it doesn't look like it in this picture). after an impressive display of stamina and dramatics, i finally relented and took him to a nearby park to dig for a little bit. he was in heaven. simple pleasures.


this was a project madeleine did at school. my favorite is that she says she is a lover of jimmy fallon. she's probably watched two clips of his show on youtube.




playing dress-up together.

 
 this is a picture of my brother, ray, and i at an audition for wheel of fortune. i did an online application a couple years ago and in early october, randomly got an email from them inviting me to an audition in seattle. i actually thought it was a joke at first. they also mentioned that they were auditioning for family week and i was welcome to bring a sibling if we wanted to audition together. as a long shot, i called my brother ray (who lives in utah) to see if he wanted to come up and audition with me. the lure of wheel of fortune was too much for him and he ended up driving up with my mom for less than a day to audition with me. it was so fun to do it together and a couple weeks later, we got a letter in the mail:
 

the whole process of becoming a contestant on wheel of fortune is extremely prolonged (especially for family week, which is only taped once a year), so we actually don't know if we'll be taping this year or next year. it's just a waiting game at this point. but fun, regardless.



pasta buddies.


walking buddies.



carving pumpkins.



these two randomly fell asleep at the same time one day (they never do this).



the result of (finally) tearing up my tomato plants:
