Spook you later, October

A creepy, crawly monster is coming straight at me.
Closer and closer he climbs upon my knee.
Up to my shoulder the monster's much too near,
"Happy Halloween", he whispers in my ear.

Where's Huck?

Hey, Can we get some lights on in here?

Ah, that's better.


Let me show you the new color in our dining room!














The soft color makes for a relaxing ambiance just right for my dining experience.














Umm Dad... Is that Mom? So help me if it is.

Blue Door Pub

I'm happy to have finally been able to check out our new neighborhood establishment. A 4 block walk, makes this my new favorite place to grab a $2 Bell's Two Hearted before 6:00! I ate the 1/2 pound bleu cheese/garlic Blucy and 14 hours later, I think I'm still trying to digest all of that beef. Been there, done that with the stuffed burger. Next time I'll try a lighter fare. Brynn enjoyed the chalk board walls that align the large cozy wood booths. If you're even the slightest bit hard of hearing and you want to enjoy a good conversation, check out the Library about 3 blocks away because this isn't the place for that. The area is so tiny, it almost has a feeling of being at a house party. I still love the Nook, but there's room in my heart for another pub -my waistline is another story.

Work is frightful these days.

The Great Pumpkin Patch

And some random little boy who really liked Brynn....If he only knew about her wild side.

There's a hole in the ceiling, dear Sara. Then fix it, dear Nick!

Ouch! I guess we're experiencing a hiccup of sorts, as this kind of threw us for a loop. Fixing a leaky pipe isn't so easy when it's made of lead dating back to 1914. Thank goodness for the YWCA and South Import Motors for their showering devices.

Brynn's bath time is taking place in the kitchen sink. She loves it. I kind of wish I could fit in there.


We're definitely still enjoying ourselves. Early October in the Twin Cities is prime. I was stuck in traffic on the Lake Street Bridge overlooking the Mississippi on Sunday watching the Twin Cities Marathon, the crew competition, and the changing leaves. Glorious. All of it.

The colors of the vegetables and fruits at the St. Paul Farmers Market are so vivid, what's not to love!

Cousin Henry turns 3 and so the entire family went for a Hayride and had a blast celebrating his birthday with a Dinosaur-themed party! Awesome!







Our little pumpkin....

Sitting around eating bon-bons

It's not really what I do all day, but I could if I wanted to. What am I saying, of course I want to.

Hershey's Neopolitan Kiss!

Word on the street is that Hershey's also makes a 'Caramel Apple Kiss'. Please notify me if you find these. Or just send me a bag.
