Every year my mom, sister, and myself head to the fall diddley. It's a GIANT craft show up at the Boone county fair grounds and we make a 1/2 day out of it!
I got up at 5:30am, threw clothes on in the dark, grabbed my little man, and started my 1 hour and 30 minute journey (my son goes with me every year, my daughter stayed home with her dad). We met up with the other lades and had breakfast at the same little diner that we do every year and then get to the diddley promptly by 9am. Here are a few shots I took first thing in the morning and the last one is inside one of the many large tents.



It was by far the most crowded diddley I have ever been to! Maybe it was the great weather, maybe everyone is catching on that this is a great place to find teacher gifts and other holiday shopping done, who knows! I got lots of great loot! I found amazing teacher and bus driver gifts, a few random holiday presents, and a few holiday decorations for around our house. Here is a shot of our new Halloween decor:


Cute right?! I never thought I'd love me a craft fair as much as I do! See you next year fall diddley! ;)

LOVE LOVE LOVE! I'm digging the palm tree behind you in this shot too. Totally giving off the jungle vibe! I am also loving the feathers in her hair! The red looks amazing on you Katie! Great dress and styled to perfection (as usual!!)!

For my father-in-laws B-day, we headed over to their house for bbq pork chops and lots of other great eats! It was a casual affair, so I kept my glasses on to give my eyes a well needed rest.
I just love this tank. I bought it when I was pregnant last season, hoping to one day fit in it. I finally do! ;)
Okay, can we talk about shorts? What do you guys think? I NEVER wear shorts. I've never been a girl who wears shorts, I prefer dresses and skirts. I've been this way my entire life (mostly because I've always had shorter legs with muscle thighs and shorts get shorter every year!!!). I like the length of these. I feel like a 5 inch inseam is appropriate for a mother of 2, no? I just can't do a 3 inch one! lol I'm turning into such a old bitty! lol
