It's cold and rainy here in Iowa. I hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween. I took my daughter trick or treating, and I dressed as Santa. Kids were REALLY excited to see me, parents... well, some were, and some weren't. I got a couple of "You're too early Santa!" I met one lady who said she already had her tree up, and another lady told me she had a whole room dedicated to Christmas, and it was decorated all year round. These were my kinds of people!

Love it!

Good evening my Christmas friends, hope your Saturday is going nicely and your enjoying the evening.

Guess what? I was driving home this evening and as I was driving thru this little town called Colchester, I saw 2 houses with Christmas lights! I was very nicely surprised to see those this early in November. It brought a glow to my heart to see that.

Can't wait to see homes decorated for Christmas!!!

View attachment 51451 View attachment 51452 Hello friends! Finally getting to settle down for the night. I haven’t go to do as much around the house as I wanted, but we had a great family day. First, started off by going to meet our new puppy and had our first training class with her. Next Saturday will be our second class and we’ll get to bring her home.

Later this afternoon, we headed up to Elk County and got to see the elk. That’s the first time any of us have been there. What a beautiful countryside northern PA is. We ate dinner and then came home.

Tomorrow will be spent running the kids to Sunday School, then mass. Tomorrow is children’s mass and I’m looking forward to it. DS has a retreat at church in the afternoon, to get him prepared for first holy communion this year. After we get home, I plan on continuing to clean and decorate.

As for now, DD and I are sitting on the couch, enjoying Hallmark and popcorn.

Hope you’re all enjoying your weekend!!!

Here are a few pictures of the new puppy, Sidney!

Sidney is adorable!!!!! ♥

Good Monday midday! I’ll be leaving for work in a few for an afternoon/evening shift. After one day of sunshine yesterday, it’s back to rain today. Temperatures are on the rise this week but will cool down again by next weekend. I’m just enjoying these last few minutes with Loki sleeping next to me. Have a great start to the week everyone!

You were in my town! Where did you see them? I haven’t seen any yet!

I was on Westchester Road, heading towards Rt 16. The one house had a bunch of colored lights on it and the other had a couple of the trees out front with white lights on them.

You know what? Today really, really, really feels like a stay in the bed day. Overcast, dreary and a Monday. Yup, PJ day, that's what it sounds like to me!

It does feel like one of the days. I finally got my niece to sleep around 12, so I napped the whole time she was. I couldn’t pass it up!

wow, so lost in wedding details I even forget to come here ?
Anyway, good morning to you all. So close to the season starting again, so exciting too !
My niece sent me this and it gave me a chuckle

i have to ask her where this is going up, looks like it will be an awesome display when done.

It is deer hunting season...

We have snow in the forecast also. Exciting!

There's some snow in our immediate future, but the steadily dropping high temperature, from mid - 40s, today, down to the upper 20s Saturday - Sunday, will bring the curtain down on Autumn 2018.

I can’t get enough of those eyes! Hard to believe that this little bug will be 3 months old in 5 days!

Man, I’m so disappointed in myself. I called the ending of Marrying Father Christmas last night with an hour to go and got it wrong. It was playing out exactly how I was thinking it would too.

That’s funny...especially coming from you. You tend to nail those every time.

Thanks, made!

We got home at 11:15 last night. I was able to have everything unpacked by 11:45 and I fell right to sleep but kept hearing Carolina up during the night for tissues and the bathroom. It was just work for me today. Our delivery came and it poured the whole time. There will be lots of items to damage and throw away because the boxes will be disenegrated. After work, Carolina and I went to the library. Tomorrow is supposed to be another wet gross day and I work in the morning
