Legally Blonde's Proceedings

Happy Halloween! This year Lola is a pupcake! There is a super cute head piece, but she looked so miserable in those pics, I couldn't even post them :-) As always, she is super thrilled to be in the costume for the 3 minutes I force her to wear it for a photo.   Poor Lola.  She got some sort of bacteria this summer that causes her saliva to stain her beard (and paws where she licks).  So she isn't shiny white like normal.

Well, it's been hot again this week, so not exactly fall like.  But last week, my law partner's kids had a week off for Fall Break when we actually caught a break with the temps, and went to the Dallas Arboretum on a cool-ish day.  Or as 5 year old Harper says...we went to the Arburrito. There were some beautiful monarch butterflies around the plants Harper loved running around this flower bed area... For these 3 cute pics, there are like 8 more equally cute ones I'm not posting.  I really like how they turned out, so it was worth battling the bee that thought I smelled really sweet. These really made me want to plant some ornamental peppers. Pumpkin Village! Trying to kiss big brother! I guess once a little sister figures out you hate kisses, she's going to try to do it all day long! I feel like I'm missing out on so many Fall events this year, but I'm glad I got to go to

My mom and I had a little road trip on Saturday to Oklahoma City.  Originally we planned on a full Oklahoma weekend road trip to see some sites in OKC and then go up to Pawhuska.  But the exhibit we wanted to see in OKC leaves on October 23rd, and the Pioneer Woman's Mercantile opening date got pushed to October 31st, so we just went to OKC for the day. I got my Mom hooked on AMC's television show "Hell on Wheels" before it's 3rd season.  It's a western of sorts, but centered around the building of the transcontinental railroad.  Like all AMC shows, it's very well done. The series has finished now, and they have a temporary exhibit at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in OKC.  They have several of the character's costumes on display and lots of information about the building of the railroad. Many of the characters were based on real people.  These costumes belonged to the two Railroad men characters in the series...Collins H
