How does this happen?

 I told Duff that this means we have to have another wedding.

He wasn't buying it.

And no, we have no idea how this happened.  No finger trauma.  No accidents.  Duff just woke up one morning and noticed that his ring felt funny.  We're getting it fixed/replaced this week. I'll keep you updated on the outcome.

Leaves

Today, we spent our time surrounded by piles and piles of leaves.

The sad part is that only about half of the leaves have fallen. :(

The puppy loves leaf piles, though.  So it was an entertaining day.

Let sleeping dogs...

make you smile.

All Hallows' Eve

Thought I would share our Halloween decorations. It may be a few weeks late but the kids really like them, so I thought you all might as well.

The spiders on the tree lit up.

We also had candles in the ghost lanterns by the door, the pumpkin in the garden bed and a light in the ghost in the window.

Of course, we really can't compete with the neighbors...

Let there be paint

We painted the house. It only took us a month (thanks to rainy weekends). I'm too tired to say much so the pictures will have to do the work.

What will we do with her? At least the house looks good...
