Fall is Leafing us.

Get it? Like leaving us...but leafing us. I'm funny sometimes.

On Tuesday me, Shani, and Pari had a little fall photo shoot! It started to get cold, real cold. So before everything was covered in ice and snow, we had to have a little photo taking session.

It turned out pretty dang good, I'm pleased.

Favorite.

Should have seen Pari taking these...she was into it.

Laying on the ground, crazy angles...lets just say a lot of passer-by's gave us weird looks.

Love the one on the left...she really does love me, I promise.

A bit silly, but I love it. My sister>yours.

Look what I managed to do! Who would've though my short thin little hair could form a bow. Took a lot of fixing, but after much effort, it paid off.

After some fun in the leaves, me and my Brie Brie made a whole bunch of pumpkin stuff.

I was really in the fall spirit that day.

While waiting at a crosswalk on Wednesday, a girl said, "That's such a cute coat! I was thinking that to myself, and knew it would be a wasted thought if I didn't tell you. Have a good day!"

And off she walked.

I have no idea why, but this has stuck in my brain for forever, which is unusual. I love that she said "a wasted thought." I don't want to have any wasted thoughts! So my goal is to just tell people if I like something they're wearing or whatever. Basically, I'll be spewing compliments all the time, but hey, that's not a bad thing.

Now hopefully you'll be inspired. No more wasted thoughts, make someone's day like she did to me! 

 later wednesday, we went to the first basketball game!! Front row seats, it was awesome.
This looks like he gets blocked, but really, it was the coolest dunk ever!! And I just so happen to have mad picture taking reflexes.

We all got a whole free pizza from papa johns too!!

Now as great as that was, it was nothing compared to our friend.

He got to play during half time in a game, and he not only beat everyone, but also won himself a $1,300 bike, a $200 gift card, AND then the free pizza too. Seriously?? Major jealousy.

Here he is winning, lucky bum. He's in the blue hat.

Look what happened....

SNOW. 

So depressing. What makes it way worse is realizing that by the time it stops snowing, I'll just barely be getting out of school. I've got a looooong ways to go with this weather and walking to classes as fast as my legs can take me.

On Thursday, I got to go meet Mia, the little girl I'm a mentor for! 

She is SUCH a cutie! 

What a doll, I just love her already. She's a little ball of energy, but so sweet. I already know all this just from 30 minutes with her! I'm so looking forward to the rest of the time we get to spend together this year. Next week we're carving pumpkins (: Don't have a picture yet, but I'll get one up soon!

 Doodling>taking notes. I particularly like this one!

 Me and Shani get packages every day basically. 

This was today's spoils! A Charlie Brown Christmas tree (: We all chipped in a little to buy it. Cutest thing ever right?? We are keeping it up starting now no matter what people say.

 

Now back to the present holiday, Halloween! I pulled together this Snow White costume, and can't believe how well it turned out!! I was made for this role. (;

Loved the red lips.

Here are the ever-lovely ladies of 228, all dressed up for the Halloween Dance!

 Jean is freakishly good at zombie make up.

Me and my gal Pocahontas. 

 Some other friends!

 After the dance (which was SOO fun!!!), we went to Kaylee's for a Halloween Party! She put so much work into it, and it was amazing. Look at these cute little cupcakes!

Me, Shani, and Makinsi.

Kaylee was a pro bar-tender! (; Sugar rimmed drinks of various mixes and flavors. Yum.

 And a pinata. It was an amazing night!

Friday was definitely successful, can't wait to see what the rest of the weekend brings!
