the morning after...
In the wee hours of the morn', the Red Sox had themselves a little sweep. This little corner of Red Sox Nation is very, very happy (and very very sleepy) this morning.
Also this morning, Papa was sent off to work with his new "knit during the World Series" hat. ("Kim's Hats" in Last Minute Knitted Gifts)
And now you must excuse me while I ingest about three more of these.
Yay, Sox!
That's one happy looking family you've got there! It looks like Ezra got himself a haircut since the last picture I saw of him, too. Very cute!

Looks like fun! Ezra is looking so grown up, and with his new haircut he seems to look more like his mama. Have a good day Amanda :)

That's a lovely sweater you're wearing this morning, Amanda.

Boston is the best place to be right now! Come visit for the parade!!

At 4:00 this morning, I woke up to find that my husband had still not made it to bed; he had been celebrating the win via the internet with the rest of the hyped up Red Sox nation. I think he finally got to sleep around 5:00 . . . But I'm thinking it's worth it - Red Sox win the World Series!! Woo hoo!!! Now, back to my coffee. . . .

go sox!! and thank you for making it happen as efficiently (in # of games that is, NOT in # of hours, goodness!) as you did... our days start at 5 am, we just didn't have too many more of those LATE nights in us! it was worth it though! it must be, i've never used so many exclamation marks in a single comment before! ;)

YAY SOX! I unfortunately fell asleep on the couch while my husband cheered them on late into the night.
I believe that you posted a recipe for a salad/side dish made from winter squash and chick peas? I can not find it again on your blog after searching...if you have the time (I know you are a busy mama!) could you email it to me? I have a winter squash just waiting to be made into something yummy!
have a fabulous day!

Heather Wilson - I don't think I posted that on the blog, it must have been this one on Flickr:

The recipe (linked) is from Orangette. And it is truly, the yummiest squash dish ever. So so good.

It seems like the perfect day for an afternoon nap.

I've been away for what feels like many moons because of an attack of worms(the computer type!) and have truly missed your photography. Let's hope things are back to normal now...I love the coffee and the autumn carpet...x

Now that's a happy family! If only you were in the pic, too, and it could be your family holiday shot, too.

Congrats on the win. I think the Rockies blew their mojo when they tried to copyright Rocktober. :) How lame is that?
My daughter's seriously bummed.
Posted by: Wendy | October 29, 2007 at 01:01 PM
Wendy - I hadn't heard about the copyright issue. Wow. That is a little odd.
I'm sorry your daughter is bummed! They had an AMAZING record going into this - definitely something for her to be proud of!
Posted by: SOULEMAMA | October 29, 2007 at 01:05 PM

Posted by: Grace | October 29, 2007 at 01:36 PM
Go Red Sox!!! We're sleepy here today too, but so worth it. Love the hat!
Posted by: Day | October 29, 2007 at 01:36 PM
Love the new banner. I loved it as a photo, but it's so apt as your banner.
Posted by: TeenSleuth | October 29, 2007 at 01:37 PM
i love that you knit steve a hat every year. this one is great.
Posted by: erin | October 29, 2007 at 01:39 PM
thanks Amanda, now wonder I couldnt find it on the blog! I knew I had seen a picture of it and it looked so yummy!
Posted by: Heather Wilson | October 29, 2007 at 02:42 PM
Now I know I have been reading your blog for about a year...I distinctly remember that the first post I ever read was on SoulePapa's winter hat from last year.
I decided to do the same for my little guys the very day I saw that post. I just started this year's hats(we live in CA so We don't really need them for a while still) and am still totally smitten with the whole idea.
Posted by: Amanda | October 29, 2007 at 03:58 PM
You inspired me to crochet a hat while I was watching my Red Sox, from down here in GA. I only managed a purple head band, but I am wearing it proudly today. I am glad that it was a sweep so that we can get back to sleeping.
Posted by: Madeline | October 29, 2007 at 04:16 PM
Madeline - yes, sleep is good! I hope all you East Coast game watchers are getting a little nap today!
Posted by: SOULEMAMA | October 29, 2007 at 04:40 PM
we watched the red sox, too, yay!! And what a nice hat that is... nice to know someone else was knitting during to game too, knit-power!!
Posted by: kate | October 29, 2007 at 04:47 PM
Haircut? Do tell! Congrats to your team.
Posted by: Jody | October 29, 2007 at 08:55 PM
I check into your blog often and thought I would just leave a note to let you know how inspiring you photographs, crafts and passions are. I look forward to purchasing your book. Thanks for all your work.

being from the east coast (and raised a sox fan) but living in COLORADO now...today was a little rough here at my house... :)
Posted by: LobotoME | October 29, 2007 at 11:15 PM
Sweeps, Peep, Two guys in jeep, he he he. I dont' know anything that is going on in baseball.......oh that makes me lame,BUT I seriously love that hat! I am trying to make something similar, only with crochet. I had to start all over today as my original was big enough for a giant cranium. Uggg!
Posted by: Cindy | October 30, 2007 at 02:43 AM
Did someone get a haircut?
Posted by: katie | October 30, 2007 at 07:21 AM
My husband stayed up late watching the World Series! He didn't have a preference but appreciates a good game. We stay up as a family to watch the World Cup and U.S Open and the like - gotta love a good game! :)
Posted by: Melissa! | October 30, 2007 at 08:22 AM
More: my husband has fond memories of he & his late-father watching lip-biting Stanford vs Cal games together. Ah, memories!

Glad to see a little bit of sports fandom even here on your all-natural, non-commercial blog. I really enjoyed the Series and am so glad that the Sox won, but at the same time, a little bummed that it's over - it was so fun! How much fun is Papelbon's crazy cartoon face? There's just something lovely about games and sports and baseball. Yes, some of them get paid outrageous zillions to hold a bat, but you look at their faces when they Win! The Big Win! and they're there because they love it, and they love the game.

Beautiful room! I love the soft color of your hardwood floors too!
