What's a Halloween without Pumpkins?

It is weird to not see fall harvest type things when decorating for Halloween. Everything seems to run along the lines scary decorations. There were some cute decorations at the Halloween Trick-or-Trunk we went to. One car was decked out as a space ship. One family became the Flintstones. The day was a lot of fun but Lilly was a little scared of some of the masks. And the two little kids dressed like dinosaurs. There were games to play (bobbing for apples, eating donuts off strings, and throwing beanbags in a cardboard pumpkin), lots of pizza to eat and then the kids did the trick-or-treat thing. Our chocolate we had found melted and the kids wouldn't take it. I finally just started putting it in the bags so the kids couldn't feel it.

I was wrong last week when I had written that we weren't living out of our suitcases. Seth and I were all unpacked but poor Lilly wasn't. We had purchased her dresser and didn't like the way it looked so we wanted to paint the drawers before we put it together. We finally got around to painting on Saturday. We asked Lilly what colors she wanted and she said yellow and then later decided on blue. Now, of course, we couldn't leave it at that. So, Lilly added green and we are still looking for some frogs to put on the drawers. I did get the dresser together and Lilly is officially unpacked!

Yesterday we had an electrician check out our oven. He pulled out the heating element and it was quite warped. He'll be returning in the next couple of days with a replacement. Although for as long as we waited to get him out in the first place, I have a feeling it will be a little longer than that. We also had a handyman over to fix some little problems. The door hiding the washing machine now closes, we can hang a towel in the downstairs bathroom and there are no longer cigarette butts in the master bathroom sink (there was a lot of other stuff in that sink but there was no way to identify it).

We got a kid seat for my bike. We have taken a couple of little trips to nearby parks. Hopefully we'll have some pics to show off soon of where we go. If the pic comes up in this entry it'll be a start to know it works.

Have a good one!
