Doing?


 I have been doing little bits of things here and there. I get frustrated because I can't just whip things out like I used to. I will decide to do a home project or a quilt and it takes me forever. At this rate, I will get very few things done so I guess I just have to accept it.
 I did with help manage to decorate the front yard for Halloween.










I tried to decorate so that when Halloween is over, I just remove a few things and fall decor is in place.Like this wreath on the front door.





I changed out my purple rocking chairs for some really comfortable off white chairs that I got at a garage sale for  for both. You can tell they are expensive chairs when you sit on them. They are so comfy.










Olivia and I are going to make little lanterns out of glittered jars with glow sticks in them. I am not used to really getting Trick or Treater's but I guess it is really big in this neighborhood!

On the night of the Zombie Ball that the kids went to, we all decided to play zombie. I did all the makeup and hair. It took a long time and boy, did I make a mess. The pictures are out of focus but still funny!




I love how my daughter put her face up. It cracks me up....

Here is Liv and her friend Tori...


They really had fun and I guess there were a lot of games for 
 and under. They came home loaded up with all kinds of stuff.

I am also slowly working on the laundry room. It had this hideous wallpaper which is now gone. It was a job.



The room already looks better before a paint job.

Last of all, on a beautiful fall day my son took me fishing. It was so pretty out and quiet and we talked a lot. Plus I caught two Steelhead. Can't beat that!






He and I went thru a pretty rough patch, so it was great to have the day together and I know he felt the same way......Happy Fall! Melinda
