Samantha Michelle Photography: Mini break

If you don't know by now Brooks Institute works kind of weird with the scheduling. How it works is that you cram school in for 7 weeks then you get a week off. This last week happened to be my week off. I of course went home. I didn't do anything too exciting. It was just nice to be able to come home and relax.

I was able to spend time with my adorable niece

Of course Halloween was recently so Walter (my brother in law), Emili, and myself pretended we were kids and carved pumpkins. I must say, compared to last years our pumpkins are very tame. Mine is on the left with the crooked smile, Emili's is in the middle with the star eyes, and Walter's is the one on the right with the big mouth. I can't remember a time where I have ever put a candle in my pumpkin, so this year was a blast. I was so excited to see them glow!

On the actual Halloween day, My brothers company ( Cross Your Heart Clothing) was invited to this event called Justice Day. It was a bunch of non profit organizations coming together to raise money. It was very cool to be there and see all of what people are doing to support their local communities and even other countries. I didn't post any photos of the event however I posted pictures of the kids and family at the event. I wish I would have posted a picture of Cross Your Heart's booth. It was an awesome living room set up. Very Cool Christopher. Any-who, here are pictures of us and the kids enjoying the day.

Ethan was Charlie Brown......soooo cute

Madison was dressed as a Lady bug. My mom made the costume and the hat.

Ethan sharing his Flavor Blasted Goldfish with Grandma (those are his favorite).

I don't know what he is pointing at but he is so cute with his hair blowing and not knowing that I am taking the picture. He was just talking with Grandma and very 'in the moment'
