On Sunday, I have a meeting before church, so I usually leave before Joel or Dane are dressed, so Joel takes responsibility for all that. I typically lay out an outfit for Dane before I go, but I obviously trust Joel to dress himself.
This Sunday, when Joel walked into church, I could not keep from laughing at him. He could not understand why.
I insisted his outfit was terrible. He insisted he took great pains to coordinate.
We could not agree. I maintain that he did not coordinate. Joel maintains he did.
So. I leave it to you. Does his outfit work or not?
Make sure you consider jacket, tie, pants, belt, and shoes. It's hard to tell in the photo, but his pants have pinstripes, too.
He'll probably kill me for posting this, but just to drive home his disapproval of my disapproval, he farted right when I took that second photo. Nice.
But I do think I have a handsome husband, regardless of his inability to dress himself.
Anyway, then Dane wanted in on the action. He posed himself:
Isn't he handsome, too? He is looking so big and grown up.
On to fall:
Dane was invited to a Halloween party, and they made these foam jack-o-lanterns. They were given pieces and then were able to get creative on the faces.
This is how a typical, prosaic person might have made theirs:
This is how Dane made his:
He said, "It's Daddy!"
Note the eyebrows.
Hilarious.
Traditions:
We have a fall tradition of going to a farmer's market or orchard between sessions of October conference. This year, we bought peaches and apples from a farm with George and Melanee.
These are the apples:
Which turned into over 12 pints of applesauce. And our peaches became a pie and three pints of peach butter.
They are delicious and exciting to have in our pantry.
For those of you who are in the know, that on the left is a 1.8 liter bottle of Bulldog sauce. I already know you are jealous. For those of you who are not in the know, you should still be jealous.
Another fall tradition is to go down to Provo for BYU Homecoming!
No, we don't go to the game (come on, you should know me better than that), we go and get the alumni 2 for 1 lunch at the Cannon Center!!
Dane enjoyed green Jell-O and BYU Creamery chocolate milk, Utah Mormon staples.
I, of course, needed chocolate milk, too.
And Joel and Dane finished things off with rice krispie treats.
It was a good day. The Cannon Center was remodeled a couple of years ago, and it looks quite nice. Freshmen are looking younger and younger these days, by the way.
