Can't you see that it's just raining?
Ain't no need to go outside...
But, baby, you hardly even notice
When I try to show you this
Song is meant to keep you
From doing what you're supposed to.
Waking up too early
Maybe we can sleep in
Make you banana pancakes
Pretend like it's the weekend now
And we could pretend it all the time
Can't you see that it's just raining?
There ain't no need to go outside
- Jack Johnson
On Friday morning, we took off work and made plans to hit up the big pumpkin town but instead it rained. It rained and rained. For hours, for five inches, it did nothing but rain. I was certain I wouldn't get to see the pumpkins. I was so doom and gloom, I may have cried. But in the afternoon, the rain stopped, the sky cleared, and Big A took me in my boots to see the Pumpkin Village.
It was so beautiful and so fun. Made even more unexpectedly fun by the rain. Puddles, overcast, and cool weather. Plus, we were the only people there. We had the whole place to ourselves.
Just me and you and the pumpkin village. A birthday present all by itself.
It had been pouring rain for most of the morning and then a cold front came in, so I wanted to wear something warm that could possibly protect me from the rain. This turned out to be just that until it got extremely hot when the sun and humidity made an appearance-but until then this outfit was perfect!
I bought this jacket YEARS ago from Target - before they sold cute clothes like they do now - and it has survived every single closet clean out since! I don't wear it often, but I do love it!

It’s a short work week for me – only 4 days! Which is pretty
exciting actually because this weekend is my birthday! That’s right on Sunday I’ll
be turning the big 2-4 so I’m taking a nice long three day weekend to
celebrate.
The weekend was absolutely marvelous as usual. During the week, I have a pretty predictable routine: work, home, dinner, workout, sleep, repeat. But on the weekends, there's some rhythm but there also moments of true spontaneity and I really enjoy documenting them here.
Friday - two words: Date. Night.
My man, me, dinner, and some good old fashion chivalry. We went to a new Chinese Restaurant in Uptown before settling down at home together. We originally planned to go to Aurora ( a light festival hosted in downtown ) but the crowds and traffic ultimately decided for us that we didn't want to go. 
Saturday :
- a late morning ( I slept like a champ) followed by cinnamon rolls with coffee.
- a trip to target, marshalls, and tj maxx - all to just look around!
- finished by: homemade wings (by yours truly) and watching Beetlejuice (our first time and we loved it! I can't wait to be Beetlejuice and Lydia for Halloween!) and Mars Attacks - a Tim Burton evening if you will.

Sunday - a late breakfast, a little blogging, a lot of football, and plenty of cuddles. (see my other post from this weekend, here).
See you next time Friday! xoxo, Burns
