No Termites...

We were up early this morning. Dawn came by around 8:30am with donuts. What a great surprise and thank you. I left around 9:30am as I wanted to do a little shopping. Beth headed to her dad's house. I had to be back home by 1pm as the termite guy was coming to do an inspection. We have no termites and he said nothing has been eating the bait which is good news. The question is do we continue the service? We live so close to the woods that you just never know, but is it worth piece of mind? So after he left, I called Beth to tell her the good news. She was leaving soon and was home around 3pm. It was a rainy yucky day, but the temperature was almost 60 degrees. I ran to the grocery store and they had fresh coconuts, so I picked up 2 of them. I just love them and Beth is still trying to determine if she likes them or not. I made steak for dinner as we were getting tired of turkey. We were able to get the Christmas tree up and decorated. Beth said if Dawn got her tree up today we would get ours up. So thank Dawn. Today's

picture is of Rylee in her new chair she got for her birthday.

Outside decorations up..

We were up at 7am this morning. I had to go give blood at 8:30am and then on to see Dr. Bill at 9am. We had a heavy frost last night and the car had to sit in the driveway as all the Christmas stuff is in the garage. We made it to the blood place at 8:18am. I finally made it to the first window at 8:45am and had my blood taken at 9am. So much for having an appointment. Dr. Bill was on vacation, so Dr. Jill was running a little behind. We were finally done there at 10am. We went and had breakfast at McDonalds as we had coupons. Then I had to go to the UPS store to mail a few things. Then we went to Lowe's to return the lights bulbs that did not work and get a new light switch for the bathroom. We finally made it home around 11am only to find the electric was off. We knew it was going to happen between 9 and 1pm, so it was not a surprise. They had to hook up the house across the street, so it only took 45 minutes more after we got home. We went ahead and started putting out the outside Christmas decorations. We had everything out and hooked up by 12:30pm. We still needed to put up the house lights, but wanted to get some lunch first. We also had to reset all the clocks. We had lunch and headed back outside. It only took us an hour to get up the house lights. I love the little thing that just snaps onto the gutter. It saves so much time. We then put all the empty tubs back upstairs and the car had it's nice warm home again. Beth worked on the floor and put the adhesive down. We then had dinner and she went back down to put the tile down. She wants a toilet in by this weekend. She is tired of running upstairs to use the potty. So once the floor is done, I will set the toilet and then see what kind of vanity we want. I am going shopping tomorrow to see if I can finish up my Christmas list. Wish me luck.

Happy 1st Birthday Rylee

Today is Rylee's first birthday. Boy did time fly by. After breakfast, Beth cut the front yard. She said it was kind of strange listening to Christmas music and cutting the grass. It will be the last time this year. We are going to put out the Christmas decorations tomorrow and they will come and get the mowers for service. I started laundry and began cleaning the dining and living room. By the time we both finished it was time for kick off. The Eagles looked bad today and are hoping they can find the end zone soon. But the Chiefs looked great and are still tops in the division. The Eagles will get another chance on Thursday to see if they can do any better. The pictures today are from Rylee's birthday party yesterday.

Rylee's Birthday Party..

We were up around 8am this morning. We had pie for breakfast and were looking at magazines when Dawn called. She wanted to know if we could help them with some party stuff. We said of course. We left the house around noon to go pick up the sandwiches and balloons. We then headed to their house. We got there and took the balloons in first. Rylee was so happy to see the Elmo balloon. Since she was suppose to be asleep, I took her upstairs for her nap. She finished her bottle and just laid on my chest and went to sleep.Dawn said she was ready at 10am for a nap but it was too early. So there was no fight in her going down. We went downstairs and set up what we could. Jo came home with the rest of the food. Everyone started arriving around 4pm. There were about 30 people there. Rylee loved her cake, but was not sure what to do with it. So with a little help from her friends she ate the frosting. After a much needed wipe down, she opened presents. She did really well with the whole concept of presents, but was done 3/4 the way through. It was a great time. We headed home around 8pm as it had been a long day for us.

Black Friday Shopping...

We went to Wal-mart at midnight last night, but we very disappointed. The thing we wanted was gone and of course they only had 5 of them. so we came home and went to bed around 1am. We got back up at 6am and headed to sears. We were looking for a new refrigerator for downstairs. We are using 3 smaller ones and just need more room. So we found one that will work and saved $500. It will be delivered on Tuesday 12/7 . We then went to Target and Best Buy with no luck in getting anything. We stopped a couple of other places and then headed home for a quick break. We meet Dawn, Jo, Rainey, and Rylee at Babies R Us. We found a few things for Rylee and played with her while her parents shopped. Beth and I then went to Toys R Us. I walked in and saw the line to check out and said 'Oh Hell No'. The line was all the way to the back of the store and back up to the front. So we left and meet the gang at Cheeseburger in Paradise. Rylee had her first taste of fish and loved it. But of course, we have found there is not much she does not like. After lunch, the gang headed home and Beth and I went to Kohl's. By now our butt are beginning to drag, so it was time to head home. Beth took a 2 hour nap and I cat napped while watching college football. We had leftovers for dinner, then headed out again. We had to go to Lowe's and then to the mall. Rylee's first birthday party is tomorrow and we needed paper. So we are finally home and I am so ready for bed. Today's picture is of Rylee and her first turkey leg.

Happy Thanksgiving...

We were up at 7:30am this morning. My turkey was not thawed out so it needed a bath for an hour. I put it in the over around 9:15am and started making apple salad. I did up all the dishes and set the table. Beth left around 11:30am to go to her dad's house. I kept watching the temperature on the turkey and hoped it would reach 180 by 2pm. It was done around 2:20pm which worked even better. I made the stuffing, green bean casserole, and the sweet potato casserole and put them in the oven. Beth and her dad were here around 3:15pm and Frank was about 30 minutes away. I had dinner on the table around 3:30pm and we had just started eating when Frank walked in. Dinner was great and we all ate too much. I put the first round dishes in the dishwasher and we then had pie. Yum Yum. Jess came by to visit and we had a great time. I was able to get thought all the ads and we are headed to Wal-mart at midnight. They have several things we want to look at. So Happy Thanksgiving to all and hope you had a wonderful day. Safe wishes to those who will be shopping on Black Friday.

The Day Before...

We were up around 8am this morning. I fixed breakfast and then Beth and I went to the store and then had to pick up Gabby. We got home and Buster was glad to see his friend. Kyle went downstairs to do the floors. I reheated the leftover pizza from last night for lunch. Kyle finished the upstairs floors and we went to the garage. I wanted to get all the Christmas stuff down from the attic while I had the boy. We carried a few of the tubs to the basement and the rest are for outside decorating. We came inside and Kyle and I went downstairs to watch a movie, Robin Hood. Beth began making her pies. I have found it is better to stay away when she is making pies. Maggie came by around 5pm to get Kyle and Gabby. Beth finally finished making 4 pies. Beth still had to go out and get beer for tomorrow. So while she was out, she picked up KFC for dinner. Dawn called and said Rylee now has pink eye. Poor Thing. The doctor called in some meds, so hopefully she will better soon, I am ready for bed as tomorrow will be a busy day of cooking.

To Do List

We were up at 7am this morning. I went to pick up Kyle at 8:45am and Kim dropped off Jojo at 9am. Beth and Jojo made pretzels and Kyle and I worked on the to do list. I had him cut down all the mums and blood grass. Then bag all the plants and put them in the trash. We then load up the tiki bar and put it in the shed. We then cleaned out the window well and set up the nemo area. Beth and Jojo finished making pretzels and we finished up things outside. I had to leave at 12:30 to go get my hair cut and colored. I had Kyle bag up all the magazines, so we could take them to the recycle dump tomorrow. I got home around 2pm and had some lunch. Beth and Jojo were watching a movie and Kyle was on the computer. Lynne came to pick up Jojo around 4pm. We ordered pizza for dinner and Kyle and I watch a movie. It was a great day and we got a lot done on the to do list. Tomorrow will be a busy day again. Today's picture is of Rylee checking out the thing on her menu.

A Little Christmas Shopping..

Since we did not go to bed until after 1am, we slept until 9am this morning. We had breakfast and Beth went down to work on the bathroom. I took a shower and then called my mom to chat for a while. Beth came up to take her shower and we left to go to Reading. We did a little Christmas shopping and had lunch at Olive Garden. I love the soup, salad, and bread stick combo. We then came home and unloaded the truck. Beth went downstairs to work some more on the bathroom. She wanted to get most of the painting done today. We have Jojo and Kyle all day tomorrow, so she will not get to work on tomorrow. We had a easy dinner of hot pockets and sweet potato fries as we had a big lunch. We are watching MNF, but will not be able to watch it to the end as we have to be up at 7am in the morning. It is suppose to rain in the afternoon and I want Kyle to help me with some stuff outside. Tomorrow is the last nice day for a week or so. The highs after tomorrow will be in the mid 40's and the lows in the mid 20s. We believe we will have to turn the heater on then.

Chiefs win..Sorry Mom

Beth was up and out the door by 8am. I had a shower and just finishing making the bed, when she returned home. We had breakfast and read the paper. We then headed over to Dawn and Jo's house. We got the tiles and molding back on the bar and most of the stuff in it place. Rylee got up from her nap around 3pm. She still has a snotty nose and a cough. She loves being downstairs. We left after the first set of games and came home. We stopped and picked up dinner on the way. We are now watching the Eagles game and hoping for a win. Things are looking good so far. We have a busy week ahead and look forward to having the kids off and on all week.

Construction begins...

Beth was up early this morning and ready to get started on the downstairs bathroom. I was content to just sleep. I got up and we had breakfast and I took a shower. Beth went to Lowe's and then to the grocery store for me. I started laundry and went through the foot high stack of magazines for the last 3 days. Beth went downstairs to start painting and patching. Buster and I watched football in the scrap booking room. OK, Buster slept and I watched football. We had tacos for dinner and then relaxed the rest of the evening. we are going to Dawn and Jo's house tomorrow to install the tile and the molding around the bar. Then the bar and downstairs will be open for parties again. Of course there will be time for Rylee before the games start.

Early Breakfast..

We got up at 7am this morning, so we could have breakfast with Dawn. It was kinda nice to have breakfast out on a weekday. I had biscuits and gray and the other 2 had eggs, potatoes, and ham/sausage. After breakfast, Dawn went to do her shopping and we went to Lowe's. We got the paint and molding for the downstairs bathroom. We came home and Beth went to her dad's house. I to the garage to cut the tiles for Dawn and Jo's bar area. After that, I cleaned the middle section of the garage. It seems to be the catch all for everything we have worked on. It was time to put everything away and get it ready for the winter. It did not take long and most if was crap that was thrown away. After that, I came in the house to warm up and watched a movie. There are a lot of good ones On Demand this month. Beth came home around 4pm and I fixed dinner. I called my mom to see how she did with her colon test today. She was doing good and everything was fine. It was a cold day today, but will warm up a few days next week. Kyle is coming over to help me with a couple of things and to see a movie. It will be fun.

Cheeseburger In Paradise

After showers and breakfast, we headed to Exton. we needed to go to BJ's. So we went to Micheal's first. They still had the fake pumpkins, so we picked up a couple more. I needed some more Zip Dry for my scrap booking projects and we got a couple of Halloween things that were now 80% off. We then went to Cheeseburger in Paradise. We love that place. I had the Caribbean Chicken salad. It had apples, pineapple, oranges, almonds, and chicken with a citrus dressing. It was sure good. We then went to BJ's. We got a 20 pound turkey for Thanksgiving and will have leftovers for days. We headed home in hopes of beating the traffic. I fixed smoked sausage and porgies for dinner. This had become our favorite meal. We are now watching football. I love having NFL football on Thursday night. We are getting up early to have breakfast with Dawn.

House Sitting..

We were up at 6am this morning. We had to be at Dawn and Jo's house by 8am and we made it. Dawn called at 8:20am to tell us the carpet guys would not be there until between 11 and 2pm. So we sat and waited. Dawn came home around 10am but had to leave at noon as she has sold a house and had paperwork to do for it. Beth left to go get lunch and the carpet guys were there 5 minutes after she left. I showed them the area and they began working. Beth came back with lunch of pretzel dogs. They were good, but would have been better with out the cheese on them. The guys finished up around 4:15pm and left. Dawn picked up Rylee from daycare and then came home. They did a good job and it all looks nice. The did scratch the newly painted wall, but it can be fixed. We came home and had dinner and are ready for bed.

One thing done...

I slept until 8:30am this morning and Beth got up at 9:30am. It was a exciting game last night and we watched the whole thing. I was feeling a little better this morning, so I made eggs and bacon for breakfast. We took showers and I went downstairs to start on cleaning a spot for the Christmas boxes once we get them from the attic. One thing off the to do list. Dawn came by around noon to drop off her garage door opener. the carpet guy will be there anywhere from 8am to 6pm. Beth left to go to her dad's house. I did nothing while she was gone. We had dinner and then went shopping. Beth's dad wants a cassette player. Do you know how hard it is to find one that is simple to operate and does not cost an arm and a leg. We found one at Sears, but want to look around some more. It was raining all day, but the temperature was not bad. Some how my facebook account was suspended and I had to send a bunch of stuff to prove who I am. So I am hoping it will we back up tomorrow. What a pain in the butt this has been. I am not even sure why it was suspended. Today's picture is of Payton playing with the Mr. Potato head.

Not Feeling well..

We were up at 7:30am this morning as we had to see Dr. Bill at 9am. I have been having problems with my arm going to sleep at night and my neck is stiff. We had to take in food products for their food drive. So we gathered what we had and were on our way. It was very foggy out this morning. Dr Bill adjusted my neck which I knew would not be good later in the day, but would feel better tomorrow. Since we took in food products, we got our appointment for free. What a deal. We then went to Lowe's to look at several things for the bathroom and still can not find a vanity we like. So the search is still on, but will not stop progress from happening. We came home and I was starting to not feel well. My head hurt and I was just not feeling well. I sat around most of the day and did nothing. I did put a roast on and knew it would not be ready for dinner, but will be better tomorrow. So we had sweet potato fries and salad for dinner. And of course the Eagles play tonight, but I don't think I will make it through the whole game.

Demo done..

Beth was up at 7am this morning and off to church. I got up at 8:30am. I took a shower and finished folding the laundry. After church, we went to breakfast at the diner. After breakfast, we came home and worked on the bathroom. We turned off the water and removed one of shutoff valves, since they are all the same. We then went to Home Depot to get valves and to look at mirrors and vanities. I think we found a mirror, but still needed to take a couple of measurements. So we came home and I installed the shutoff valves and then we removed the toilet. We slowly turned the water back on and we only had one little leak and were able to tighten the valve to seal it. So all the demo is done on the downstairs bathroom. Beth will paint the walls next. It is sure different not being able to use the bathroom downstairs when watching football (and drinking beer). We had Jack Stack Bar-B-Que for dinner and boy was it good. We just love ordering online and having it delivered. The next best thing to being there. If we could just get the rest of our favorite place to in KC to deliver.

Clean Up...

We woke up around 8am this morning. Dawn text to let us know Rylee was better, but Jo was taking her to the doctor at 8:45am. We had showers, picked up donuts, and headed to Dawn's house. We were there about 15minutes when Jo called to say she was on her way home. The doctor said Rylee was fine and that the stuff coming from her ears was ear wax that had melted due to her high fever. I did not know that could happen. So Jo got home and I got Rylee while they began cleaning the basement. The carpet guy came by at 11am and they will have new carpet on Wednesday. I put Rylee down for a nap around 1pm. She was not happy about taking a nap, but needed one. She had just got to sleep, when the guys came to delivery and set up the new fridge. It did not take them long and the new one was ready to go. We were on a roll with the downstairs when Rylee started crying. I went upstairs to get her and she was not really awake. I picked her up and rocked her a little and she went back to sleep. She slept for about 20 more minutes and was then awake. We went downstairs and played for a while and had a fruit snack. They finished the basement and we left around 5:30pm to come home. It was a fun day spent with friends.

Rylee sick...

Beth was up at 7am this morning. She took a shower and was hoping Dawn could go to breakfast with her. I slept late and could care less about breakfast. Dawn could not go as Rylee was sick and cried all night long. She wanted to know if we could watch her while she did her afternoon run. We said sure. Beth went to her dad's and I did some laundry. I went to Lowe's to get some swifter cleaner and then to Micheal's. Dawn came by around 1pm to drop off Rylee. You could tell by looking at her eyes that she did not feel good. I fed her some lunch and she played with her toys for awhile. She then walked around the house. She was co cute in the little footy jammies. Beth came home around 1:45pm. We went downstairs to play. she began to get fussy around 4pm and fell asleep. She was all stopped up and snoring. Dawn came by around 4:30pm. Rylee woke up crying and pulling at her ears. Poor thing. we felt bad for her as there was nothing we could do to make it better. Dawn headed home and we went out to dinner. We then had some shopping to do after dinner. Dawn sent a text around 7:30pm saying she had a temp of 102 and stuff was coming out of her ears. We called when we came back home and she was doing a little better. Her nose was finally running clear and she was sleeping in her crib. So we will see how she is in the morning. We were going to watch her tomorrow while Dawn and Jo worked on cleaning their basement and getting ready for her birthday party. We may just go over and watch her there and help get things done faster, so they can spend time with her.

Demo...

After breakfast, I picked up all of Buster's bedding and put them in the washer. He had a grooming appointment at 11:30am. Beth took him over a little after 11am. I went downstairs and started demo on the downstairs bathroom. I turned off the water to the sink and was able to pull it out and take it upstairs to the trash. I was not able to turn the water off to the toilet, so I waited for Beth to come home. Once she was home she vacuumed the upstairs, and then we took out the mirror and found a big square hole where a set in medicine cabinet had been. So we are discussing our option for that. We turned off the water to the toilet, but the water was still coming out. So we need to turn all the water off and replace all the shut off values on the toilet and the sink. So that will be a Monday project. So we had lunch and talked about what we could do. Buster was ready to be picked up around 2pm. Beth left around 3pm to go get Jojo from school. She called to tell me she was stopping at Home Depot to look at mirror and vanities and that Kim will just meet her there to pick up Jojo. I fixed dinner of chicken, rice, and peas. Beth had to leave at 7pm to go over and watch Jojo while Kim and Lynne went to parent teacher conference at school. We are now watching the start of the Thursday's night football games. Beth is getting up early and go to her dad's and we will try and get the Christmas lights up in the afternoon.

Payton..

We were up at 7am this morning and Maggie dropped off Payton around 7:30am. We had breakfast and I took a shower. While Beth was taking a shower, Payton and I went downstairs to play with the Play Dough. We made monsters and it was a lot of fun. We then left and went to Target. We did some toy shopping and a few groceries. When we got home, I made lunch of grilled cheese. Payton then went to take a nap. Aunt Beth was going to go in, but got a phone call. Payton had fallen asleep sitting up holding the penguin as you can see from today's picture. After a 2 hour nap, he was up and ready to make cookies. We took sugar cookie mix and used a dinosaur cookie cutter. Payton and Beth decorated the cookies as I cut them out. We had a few before dinner and they were good. We played go fish and Uno Moo. They are board games for his age. He did really well and even won a couple of times. We then had dinner of hot dogs with mac and cheese. Since DJ did not have to go to her meeting, her and Kyle spent some time together and we took Payton home around 6:45pm. It was a great day and we had a good time with him.

Movie Day...

We slept until 8am. We had breakfast and sat around in our jammies until 11am. We took showers and headed to Oaks to see a movie. We saw the Legend of the Guardians. It was pretty cool. We left and came home and Beth cut the backyard. It should be the last time for it. I fixed kielbasa and porgies for dinner and they were really good. We have Payton in the morning, so it will be an early rise and shine day. We are going to go ahead and bite the bullet and have the new water pump installed. It is the best thing now while we still have water and heat.

Good News, Bad News...

We were up around 8am this morning. We had breakfast and showers and then I went shopping. I had to go to Target to get vitamins and then on to Wal-mart. I was back home around noon and we had leftover pizza. We were able to get a plumber out today to look at the well. It was a good news bad news kind of deal. We were losing pressure due to a pipe fitting having a hole in it. The bad news is we are going to need a new pump real soon. We will get no notice that it is going out. We will just not have any water. So the question is do we bite the bullet and get it replaced now or wait until it goes out not knowing how long it will be? He said a new one would cost around $1500. He also said we should notice a drop in our electric bill as the pump will not be running all the time now. But who really knows what our electric bill is. We got rid of the hot tub, but then had the pool and air conditioner. Then the pool is closed but we have the running water pump. Just as we get that fixed, it is time to turn on the heater. One thing after another. I fixed pork and sauerkraut for dinner. I don't like the sauerkraut, but don't mind the pork being cooked in it.

Good game, bad calls...

We slept late this morning. We had breakfast and Beth went to church. She stopped at WAWA to get hoagies for lunch.We had just started watching the games when Dawn invited us over to watch the games at their house. We who could turn down watching the game and playing with Rylee. So we order food from the Italian place and picked it up on our way. Rylee was still sleeping when we got there, so we watched the games. The Eagles and the Chiefs did not play until 4:30pm. Rylee finally woke up from her 3 hour nap. She is still sporting the knot on her forehead from the fall she took at daycare, but it does not seem to bother her. She is getting really brave in her walking. She is even able to sit up from her crawling position. The Eagles game began and it they looked good today. They were called for a couple of penalties that were so not correct, but did get a win against the colts. The Chiefs just need to lean how to finish a game. But being in the bottom of the league for so long, they have come a long way. We came home and gathered the trash as tomorrow is trash day. We will have all the kids, on different days, next week, so we will have to turn the heat on for them. We have Payton all day Wednesday and I will pickup Kyle after school. We are watching Jojo after school until her bedtime on Thursday. And then we will have Rylee most of the day Saturday, as Dawn and Jo are doing the final cleanup on the basement and getting ready for Rylee's birthday party. We are hoping to get the lights up on the house as it is nice all week. So it will be a busy week. The car is working better. They found a piece of paper that fell down in the dash that was making the noise. So all is well, but now we have to have the water tank looked at in the house as it is losing pressure. If it is not one thing it is another.

Typical Saturday..

We got up at 8am this morning. It was another frosty day out. We had showers, breakfast, and headed to the mall for the Hallmark open house. We got a few Christmas cards, a count down ornament for the tree, and our treat bag. It was filled with some really cool stuff and was worth going. We then went to Micheal's and I found one of the punches I was looking for. We were back home by 10:30am. we had lunch and I settled in to watch college football and finish the laundry. Beth worked on the downstairs floor and almost has it done. We are going to pull out the vanity and sink tomorrow for the trash man. We did get a new toilet and new light fixture, but will look at vanities later. We went to the grocery store after dinner and are all set for pork and sauerkraut tomorrow for dinner.

Shopping...

We woke up around 8am this morning and the rain had stopped. We had breakfast and Beth went to get her hair cut. After she got back, we headed to Exton. We were looking for some fake leafy plants to add to the wooden faces we got at the folk festival. As you can see for the photo they are pretty cool looking. We have 4 different ones hanging in the dining and living room. We stopped at AC Moore first and they had nothing, but did find a couple of punches for scrap booking. We then went to Wegman's for a few groceries. We were having fondue for dinner and wanted to see if they had anything. Then we had lunch at Cheeseburger in Paradise. They have the best burgers. The final stop was at Micheal's. I did find the plants they and a bonus. They had the large fake pumpkins. Beth is going to cut them over the winter and have the ready for next Halloween. We then came home for a rest. We had both cheese and broth fondue. The cheese was OK but had too much of the Swiss taste for me. We used fillet and chicken in the broth with some other seasoning. It was really good. We are getting up early in the morning as Hallmark is having a Holiday Open House and we want to go. Then it is on to watching College football the rest of the day.

Rainy Day...

We woke up this morning to rain. And it rained all day long. Beth left to go to the dentist at 9:30am. She stopped by Micheal's to pick up the mats we had ordered for the Disney pictures. We finished framing them and put away the spring and Halloween ones. I made stew today and we took it up to Beth's dad for dinner. Frank was in town for the next week, so Beth will not have to go up there as much. Dawn came by to pick up Beth and they went to pick up Dawn's car. They could not figure out why it was sticking nor could they cause the problem. Figures. Beth has 18 more tiles to remove from the bathroom downstairs. We are starting to look at vanities and stools and hope to have them at least purchases in the next few weeks.

Not much today...

We woke this morning to a heavy frost again. The temperature gauge said it was 30 degrees outside. We had some breakfast and really did nothing the rest of the day. By noon time it was still only 53 degrees outside. Beth worked on the tiles in the downstairs bathroom. I cleaned the house a little but we mostly played on the computer. Beth went with Kim to go pick up Jojo from school, since we have to get her next week. Dawn called around 4:30 and they needed to borrow the jeep. Her car was stuck in 3rd gear and was going to the shop. They came by after picking up Rylee form daycare. Rylee had fallen just before they got there and had a big knot on her forward head. She was not crying but it looked really sore. I jut love the way she gives me hugs and snuggles into to me when I pick her up. We walked around outside while Dawn go the stuff for the jeep. They left and we came inside and had dinner. We had ghoulish for dinner and corn bread. Maybe we will be more productive tomorrow and maybe not. .

Frosty morning...

We woke up this morning to frost all over everything. I even had to let the truck warm up. We took showers, had breakfast, and headed to pick up Beth's car. She left the dealership and headed to her dad's house. I came home. I wanted to get the Halloween stuff packed up so we could put it away in the attic. I had to get 2 more tubs to account for all the new stuff we got. Beth came home around 4pm and began cutting the front yard. I am hoping this is the last time. I pruned the rose bush and started cutting the mums. I found 2 holes where something had been digging. Not sure if they are winter homes or just homes. But I wanted to put my gloves on before moving forward. So I will work on that tomorrow and then all thing will be ready for the great winter weather. We are hoping for at least more more day of warm and sunny weather to get the lights up. We went to the mall to see if we could get an adaptor for the fogging witch. They have the adaptor, but now we need to see what size attachment we need. So Beth is taking witchy poo for a ride tomorrow since they have 100 different sizes and I am not going to buy and take back until we find the right one.

Post Halloween shopping...

We had to get up at 7:30am this morning as we had to see Dr. Bill. After our adjustments, we headed to Target to check out Halloween sales. They had nothing we really wanted, so we headed to Dawn's house for a visit. We were there about an hour and then headed to Super wal-mart. We picked up a few things and then headed to the Target by us. We hit the jack pot there. Got some new lights, some fog juice, another fog machine, and some candy. We then went to the Halloween store. They had a witch with a fogging cauldron, but no power cord or instructions. It was $50 buck and a good deal at that. We think we might be able to get a power cord for it and it so we saved $200. We will see. We picked up all the Halloween stuff from the yard and put it in the garage. I will pack it up tomorrow and put it in the attic. We will get the Christmas Lights down and will put them up the next nice day. They did not really find anything wrong with the car. The said a piece of paper slide down in the dash , but that noise is still there. There might be another piece there, but it would take 7 or 8 hours to take the dash apart to find out. For $700, we can just turn up the radio a bit more. So we will pick it up tomorrow.
