October in Review

Yeah, I fell off the blogging wagon. Why? Because I ran out of room! All those photos my cell phone has been uploading at 4000 pixels wide took their toll. I’ve managed to clean up a little bit of space, so we’re going to try to do a few posts.

To wrap up the year, enjoy a photo gallery of the notable events in October:

Yes, we finally called and had junky moved… so theymoved him a few blocks away. Ha ha!

Momo!

The bathroom cupboard in all it’s glory. Not a bad craigslist find for 25$

And thus began the mailbox wars because there is NO regulation size concerning private wall mounted boxes and our mailbox was not too small, technically. After writing them a letter telling them this, and an exchange of phone calls, our mail was not suspended. However, we did order a new one anyway because we had already planned to before Christmas cards started roilng in

fixing the kitchen walls. That cut out will be a set of shelves someday

fall foliage

From hubby for our 15th anniversary

The laundry room pipes are replaced and the leak is gone. Hallelujah!

Enchiladas. Something that actaully cooks well in the electric skillet.

Hubby and I took a trip to Waubonsie State Park

My jewelry party went well

Halloween! We ended up using almost all of this on trick or treaters!

Me 🙂

Mom’s new haircut

waiting to hand out candy

Trick or Treat! This was like something from a TV show – it was awesome! I have never seen so many trick or treaters before!

As you can see we didn’t get much done on the house. I spent most of my time working on book covers and such, hubby spent his time working at his job, and the brother spent a lot of it sick. But it was still a good month and every little bit counts. Right?

Except November tomorrow.

Have a good one!
