Last weekend when we were up in Pismo we stopped in a pet store so that Peewee could try on some winter wear.

Wordless Weekend 3.1 From Our Home to Yours
Happy
I happily, happily spent the day with designed pages spread out all over the bed, looking for typos and hanging out with Peewee. The book is looking so good. There’s stuff I still want to rewrite but I have to let it go. There are design problems but we’ll get them sorted out. I’m just so happy and proud and stoked, and I hope the book does well but even if it tanks? I’m still so happy with what we did. Can I say happy one more time? I’m happy.

And on the twelfth day
I spent today’s writing-time allocation doing an update for Let’s Panic and getting ready for a weekend in Pismo. So, uh, you know. Sorry. You’ve seen a lot of family photos lately, so here’s a photo from our last trip up here:

Veterans Day
I don’t know what to make of holidays that can’t seem to be appended to a Sunday, but here we are, Veterans Day.

It was taken in 1961 and Lyle’s had just about enough of this nonsense. This has got to be one of my favorite family photos of all time and, again, I have no idea which side of the family these boys belong to.

Halloween
Halloween this year was unexpectedly awesome. Jackson has officially transitioned from cute and/or superhero costumes to spooky ones, and though we thought he’d achieved this milestone last year, we too-late discovered that 2009′s skeleton zombie costume actually frightened him so much that he gave himself nightmares by wearing it. However, 2010′s pulsating, bloody Scream mask was by all accounts a spectacular success, both socially and psychologically. (more…)
