I'm linking up with the ladies for a little Five on Friday action… hoping to make this a regular thing again. We'll see!
ONE.
When I made my blog about a year and a half ago, The Martinez Men was the obvious choice when naming this little corner of the internet that I call my own. At the time, my life revolved around my three boys. Since then, I've been away from two of them for about a year… so The Martinez Men has been seeming more and more like Just Me and the Kid. We'll all be reunited again at the end of the year, but with all the changes, and more coming, I'm feeling like this little space needs a makeover. A name change. Anyone agree? I have one in mind, but I am welcoming any and all suggestions! Something a little less, well, manly. Ready, go.
TWO.
We had a great time at Austin's school's fall festival a few weeks ago. I'll admit I was a little nervous eyeing the casually dressed crowd as we walked through the gate- but our costumes were a hit. And who doesn't dress up for a freaking fall festival, any way. We left with three cakes courtesy of the cake walk, two caramel apples, and one skinned elbow from the inflatable slide (mine). Austin insisted we take about eighty two turns, but I swear each slide down was even more fun than the last. The kid is fearless.
THREE.
Oh Georgia. (You knew it was coming.) My Instagram overload doesn't even do our little getaway justice. I plan on dedicating a post just to our trip, but until then enjoy a couple of my favorite captured moments.
FOUR.
Has anyone else noticed the new Kate Spade Kids line at Gap!? I am totally drooling over the little girls stuff, and really wishing I could squeeze myself into some of it. Maybe I'll settle for that bow headband. Girl mamas, definitely head on over and check it out. And boy mamas- the Jack Spade line is mighty cute, too. But in my opinion, it just doesn't compare to the girly glitter cuteness. Sigh.
FIVE.
One last little ramble… Juan signed for a house! Because we are so new to army life, we chose to live on base for the first couple of years. We were offered a house super close to Juan's work and I've already been in touch with a few of the residents who live in the neighborhood. I think we are going to love it- despite the super creepy basement. Anyone want to see pictures? Yeah, me too. I'll shoot them out when I can finally get my hands on some!
Have a great November weekend! Is it just me, or did I come home to some cooler weather? It's no Georgia fall, but I can tell Florida is trying. Even if it's just a little.

Both of your costumes are adorable! I am disappointed I didn't have my act together this year for a family costume, maybe next year! What part of GA did you come to?? And yes the Kate Spade line is adorable and very dangerous!
ReplyDeleteLast year our costumes were a bit on the sorry side… I made Austin's Peter Pan costume and it slowly fell apart as the night went on. Points for trying?? :P We were in Evans, near Augusta! I love it there!!
DeleteI love my baby grandson's cheeks!!! They are sooo kissable! Daddy and mommy have some cute cheeks, too! How about that for your blog name?
ReplyDeleteAbout the basement, hang some pretty cloth on the walls and lighten it up! In Kauai, beautiful Batik cloth was used as window coverings, wall hangings, tablecloths...
Austin's nana
I love that mickey mouse dress set.
