Christmas Countdown - 2016

[SnowflakeMom]

Hope everyone is having a good evening. Leo is definitely not himself. He is eating/drinking fine and walking without limping but he will not jump up on the couch or climb the stairs, he wants to be carried. I don't know what could be wrong. I will see how he is in the morning. Thanks for all your prayers and well wishes! Sleep well!

Enjoy the beautiful weather!
Have fun stocking up on candy & mums!
I just picked up our mums yesterday, hopefully the Japanese beetles will leave them alone this time, they usually kill the ones that I have bought in September, in years past.
Have a wonderful day!
xx

Thank you Snowflake!
Good luck with your mums, I usually end up having to buy them again before the end of the season!
The pictures from your cousins wedding are beautiful <3
My day went well, hope yours did too. Enjoy the rest of the evening!

Do you have a lot of kids trick or treating in your area? We're on the third floor so we don't give out candy but I see fewer kids each year on the streets. Have a great day, hope you find the mums you want (I had to look up what those were, very nice).

We have a decent amount of trick or treaters in our neighborhood. I'm on a small cross street so it's a bit more quiet on my block, still lots of fun though.
I picked up a couple of mums today and a few pumpkins too, the front of my house looks much more festive!
Hope you had a nice day Martine!

Thank you!

Wish I could go to Target too! Have fun!
I also start stocking up on Halloween candy.
Just love this time of year Have a great day HMG

You're welcome Solice ~
I love Target! The only problem is I always walk out with much more than I went in for!
Hope your day went well <3

I have 7 bags of Halloween candy but I haven't opened them...yet!

You have better will power than I do. I already had an Almond Joy and some Laffy Taffy

have a great day ! I have work to do around here too. What color mums are you getting ? I have yellow here.

Thanks Star ~
I picked up the burgundy flowers, I love the yellow ones too. They're so pretty!
Hope you have a relaxing evening!

Have a great day !

Thanks Festive, hope you had a great day too!

Happy Monday HMG!! I need to get some mums myself....hopefully this week!

Thank you SnowflakeMom, hope you had a Happy Monday too. Sending prayers for Leo, hope he's feeling better.

Greetings HMG. Sounds like a fairly busy Monday for you. I trust you will find a moment or two to just relax. Enjoy your first full week of October.

I'm sorry, friend
Praying hard for your sweetie.
Hope he is much better in the morning, if you need to take him in have them check his back for swelling/inflammation.
Har had similar symptoms a few weeks ago, so it's just a thought.
Sending hugs & love to you both.

Goodnight everyone <3

I hope everyone had a great day! I spent part of my day at urgent care thanks to an unruly box cutter. I had to get 4 stitches. I will try to get caught up on the countdown now

Sorry that you couldn't go apple picking yesterday but there's still a few great weeks left for that. Great catch on the ON sale. Enjoy your day off today.

My family loves Old Navy, I feel it is the best bargain for all of us especially when they have a big sale.

 

[xmas365]

Picked these up this morning
3 little christmas houses. Thought they would be nice for the children's room.

Good morning Festive!!! Hope you're having a great day!!

Wow! Thanks for posting, there is quite the range in prices on eBay.

 

[xmas365]

It's short for "chrysanthemums." It's hard to spell and hard to say, so we often just call 'em "mums"!

You know I never realized that before.

 

[xmas365]

So exciting! You'll have to keep us posted what's on your menu!
I like to put up my tree the week/end before Thanksgiving. I'll see if anyone offers to host Thanksgiving, if not I will but then I'll have to wait until Thanksgiving weekend to put my tree up.

I am thinking this year I really want to put up my tree before Thanksgiving, I will have to run it by the wife first. I have been wanting to put up a tree for the last week.

 

[xmas365]

I feel like I need to start Christmas shopping right now. I always wait and get stressed out that I don't have enough. It's so hard to get into the holiday spirit when it's SO HOT outside.

Great to see you!

Man, talk about a long weekend. Had a list of things to do...and didn't get a single one done. Got home from getting a few groceries the other night and Bambina kept sitting on the couch saying "no, no, no" over and over. After about 15 minutes, she got so sick. Put her in the tub and clean her up....the other kid walks in and gets sick. This goes on for 5 hours straight every 20 minutes! OH MY GOSH. At 11 p.m., Doc started getting sick. At 3 a.m. on Sunday, I finally go the kids put to bed and then Doc. Yesterday wasn't as bad, but it wasn't good. Woke up this morning....and it's my turn. Needless to say, we are all home and resting. I sure do want to go outside and work on getting my lights ready, but all in good time. As for now, just going to sit here and read the boards for a few minutes and then pay some bills and do some other chores. Y'all have a good day!

I hope you all are feeling better now.
