Halloween at our house.

I had to work this Halloween! Major bummer!
Mushy stayed home. He answered the door and took out handed out treats to all of our neighbor kids. He may have stopped answering the door when it came to trick-or-treater # 459- yes we have that many kids in the neighborhood.

The puppies thought they got out of dressing up this year for halloween. But I couldn't help myself. Yes, It is 11:00 at night. The holiday is almost over.....



could you resist putting these outfits on them?

photo booth


I just figured out how to use the camera in my photo booth. Is it weird that this is the first thing I did?

tai pan trading.


I went to tai pan today.
I had the Mushy with me, so I could not stay for long. But it was full of harvest, Halloween and most importantly CHRISTMAS DECOR! It got me in the mood for decorating!
I am so excited for Christmas. But for now, I will continue my Harvest decorating. I walked through the woods behind our house yesterday, and chopped some branches down. I know that they look huge, and border line ridiculous. But that is part of what I love about them . Also, the Ying wanted to pose for you all. She is not too excited about the change in weather. She spends most of her time laying in the sun, trying to stay warm.

DIY project & Halloween

Well, for starters. It is October 09. 2009. Time to pull out the halloween decorations. I am not a huge halloween decorator. But these little ghosts were so cute I could not say No.

That is it as far as Halloween goes. But I do have a very festive harvest wreath I put on the front door. Once again. This is it as far as Harvest goes, but I am counting down the days until I can decorate for christmas!




Now on to the DIY project. I painted my Kitchen grey. I also put up a print that my dad made years and years ago. it used to hang in my grandmas house. I always loved it and my dad gave it to me for christmas a few years ago. I am glad I finally found a home for it.



Do you guys like the addition to the kitchen? I thought it warmed it up a little bit. I also brought my plants in from the front porch for the winter, and I like them so much inside I might have to figure out something else for the porch next summer.

I finally got around to re-finishing a trunk that I got from my grandmas house. When I got the trunk it was covered in HOT pink fabric, ribbon and tassels. After I took all the fabric off , it looked like this.





I sprayed it down with a solid black, and used it as a base for my new picture wall.





Guess what? My seed turned into a real lawn!!!! It really worked!


Well, thats it. That is what has been going on in my life and house, in a nutshell. What are you doing to get ready for fall?

Titanic

I just watched Titanic on T.V. and I cried. Yes, I am that person that cries every time they watch Titanic. Just felt like a confession was in order.

About Me

My photo
I always had aspirations to make it big. Learn French. Move to Paris- for good. Instead, I met my soul mate, and our two lives became one. We decided to make it small, and moved to a little city. The inspiration for this blog came to me, while I was driving on an old country road with the top down and my man at the wheel. As the fields flew by, and the the Wasatch Mountains glowed in the Sunset. I realized that I may never be able to speak French and I will never move to Paris but I had made it big after all. This blog is dedicated to all the little things that make small town living beautiful.
