Running at night, actually I was going to title this Spring City after dark :)
I'm officially back to running/walking at night. Mornings just don't work for me right now!
I love running at night when the full moon lights the streets at night, makes it easier to see where I'm going. Love this little town. I know I always say that, but it really is so neat!

this year, the boys couldn't wait for everyone to go trick or treating, so they escaped without us!
gulianna wanted to be a cat, isabella was a detective, she loves her "adventure dress" and new it would make the perfect detective outfit too.(i really wanted her to be snow white, since she had the perfect haircut, and i don't think her snow white dress will fit next year!) anthony was a race car driver, and jeremy a fire fighter. i love halloween!
and trick or treating around this town is so magical, and picture perfect at every house!
anthony tried to pull one over on joe the potter, he insisted on a piece of pottery for his "treat!"
we made our way down to the soda fountain for some games, and then back to our house for our traditional taco soup dinner. usually i do it before we go trick or treating but i didn't have it ready earlier.
jeremy was so excited to go trick or treating, it was christmas morning to him every time some one answered their door! i wish they could stay this little forever ♥

my sister is here visiting for a few days, so we showed her what's left of this neat little house after a frozen yogurt/library trip.

afternoon walk around town...crying, fighting and whining included. but still lots of exploring and playing too!
this is what we call the "magical forest!" look around lot's of imagination and creations to be found here. i envision it with an old rustic sign "welcome to the magical forest" and strings of lights from all the trees ♥
isabella had to climb out through the weeds, so she was stuck with cockleburrs all over.
jeremy enjoying an apple along the way home...

the first busiest day of the whole year in our small town, heritage day. got the first sneak peek of the art squared paintings last night...loved this painting of this old country path, now i wish i would have bid on it!
because you know i love a good ol raggedy ann doll and vintage cowboy boots ♥
love kathy peterson's paintings, and especially her frames.
got up early this morning...only a few hours of sleep, finished pricing more items for my sale over at the old school, and then lunch prep at our church. my mom and dad, and chelsey came down late last night for this weekend, glad they are here!
the kids and my mom and chelsey got to ride in this cool classic car! never get in a stranger's car when they offer you a ride, unless it's a bel air, ha ha! (and you're with your aunt and grandma)
my favorite artist...randall lake! love that his place just down the street. they added these awesome shutters inside ♥
hhello lovely vintage quilts ♥
i love our small town...so many charming stone homes and buildings. we got a sneak peek of the third floor of the old school...they have done so much work, it looks so good!
and my favorite barn...some day, we will have one too! going to give up some garden space for it, levi put it in the plans last year, can't wait!
and the biggest miracle of all! we didn't get rain at all, even though it was forecasted, all the surrounding areas got poured on...while our little town was protected with good weather and sunshine until the evening.

yes...simply lovely, right? so perfectly aged, and i love the bright seafoam green paint...and scallops! we have so many charming old houses all around. i love old homes, definitely one of a kind, and i love to see their personal style reflect on the outside too.
today we went to a few yard sales around town, and then to ephraim to a swap meet that snow college was putting on. picked up a few vintage books, and old rusty metal box and ice cream for the kids!

{Monday 7.25.2011}
The sirens went off too early this morning to start the Fireman's breakfast...I think I had barely fallen asleep a couple hours before. Levi got up and got ready with Anthony and then went to the breakfast at the park with Kevin. I was way too tired to go. I couldn't fall back asleep though, so I probably should have gone. We got ready and then walked to Main St {one block away} for the Pioneer Day parade. Small town parades are so nice, small to the point, lots of candy, no crowds! Gulianna reminded me that we didn't bring their little buckets for candy...oops, I can't remember everything.
Isabella loves horses!
Anthony was content watching the parade and playing with a candy wrapper.
Afterwards we headed to the park for music and blow up slides for the girls...they rode on the four wheeler while Kevin and I walked.
In line for a bracelet for the slides...
Anthony played for a while in the grass, and then was ready for a long nap! Levi took the girls to play...the slide that was closest to us, turned into a water slide, we didn't want them to get soaked since this was our last set of clothes.
