PICTOBER ! Show us Halloween and Stuff !
Thanks, my wife wanted a "Z" name as sort of a new family thing. I liked Zoe, and this time I got to choose the name. It was going to be Zoe London just cause I like it when the middle name is more neutral or even boyish. However at the last moment Simone popped into my head and it sounded good together. I wanted both my girls to have good strong names, names that if they wanted to they could just drop off the last name to use as a stage name or pen name. Cause our last name is way to common. I mean Smith... yikes.
All this text and no pics..... I have to do something about that.

Parenting. You're doing it right.
Also Zoe is one of my favourite characters in Romanian literature.
My sister's name is Andrea. 
Si vis pacem, para bellum
Glad you didn't name her after a city, that's so common.

hola
soy dora.

vamanos.
“if you want to be a bird,” you said once, “with colorful plumage and buoyant trills, you must also be ready for hollow bones."
Dora the Exterminator?
"Backpack backpack. Backpack backpack. Lots of guns and ammo and dah dah dah da da..."
My, my, Dora has grown up quite nicely :3
Wow!
that is quite a change.
Awwwweeesommeee.
Both of those pics of Cammie and baby in the pjs.
Too gangster.
Did you cut your hair?!
That must be a wig. Cammie wouldn't cut her hair THAT short.
Dedication.
But quick question for Dora, when you say vamanos while holding that gun, are you pointing it with me (toward our mutual enemies) or at me (toward my head area, for instance).
Pictures from the Sweet Fest:

Amazing

The cupcakes

Halloween cupcakes

The place: Manuc's Inn, the first hotel building in Bucharest, est. 1808

More. The servings at the restaurant are huge. Or, as you might say, American-sized.

Old stoves

Sewing machine with pumpkin

What?

Sorry I didn't actually take pictures of Romanian desserts. I died when I saw the first chocolates.
Dora Croft, Tombrader.
Duh.
Also, I wanted to see "Americansized" portions of foods.
This is why we can't have nice things.
We didn't have lunch, but we saw what other people ordered. It's common in Romanian cuisine restaurants that the servings are huge. If you can split a portion, it qualifies as huge.
I want all the yummies.
The designs on the sweets there are amazing, I wish someone did things like that here in Scotland
Self improvement comes from trimming away the shit, not building up on top of it.
My niece and I.

Please ignore my mussed up hair.

What a darling!
Omg young man with a baby! <3
I didn't know Mike was so hot.

Thanks everyone!
I was just saying the other day how our Cult boys don't get enough acknowledgment for how cute they all are.

Agreed.

finally carved my second pumpkin ever

That is really awesome. You should light it up with a candle and post another picture.
It is so funny to think of an adult that has only carved two pumpkins. I can't think of a year of my life that I haven't. but then everyone does say halloween is an american thing.
I never carved a puntkin.
Yeah I've had bologna before.
Bet you are full to the brim with it?
No. I didn't have any today.
More stuff from the festival. Traditional home-made sweets

What are those eyeball looking ones?!
Ice cream cone rolls filled with a very buttery chocolate cream. These home-made sweets contain a LOT of butter. So much that you can actually taste it and feel the texture.
Yep, cult blokes are noice.
Cool pumpkin, Kit. I've never carved one. It's not a kiwi thing.
I took a few portraits last night with light from a single lamp. Here are the best two


And my eye

So pretty!
holy shit, those are epic
Pretty eyes. Awesome pumpkin. Sweet sweets. Gross bologna.

bali <3
















Oh my god I'm so jealous...of your amazing photographs and that you got to go to Bali. Those photos are gorgeous as always.



I think it is mostly the association of being controlled and rejected/not being accepted for who I am that comes with that name that I cannot stand. Doesn't help that anymore it is mostly people I owe money to that call me that, course then again if someone on the phone asks for that name I know right off if I want to talk with them or not!
Our cat is named Winnie!!!
Zoe Simone is a pretty wicked name!
I really love this name too. It is beautiful.
