It's beginning to feel like fall...

Well so far so good...we actually still have cable as so we are relishing in what might be our last few days. Although, we did have a very productive weekend.

On Saturday we visited a garage sale in a nearby neighborhood and picked up a jeep umbrella stroller for $4. While we realize it may not be used for awhile, we couldn't pass up the deal. I also received a whole box of cloths from a friend of mine - so, we should be covered for the period of 6-9 months for the baby. In other news, we also finally figured out how to put the crib together so that the sides are able to move up and down. Actually, Aaron's dad found the internet site and Aaron found a similar set of crib instructions. Either way, we are happy to have it done.

Saturday we went to a Halloween Party of a friend. It was a great time. I was put in charge of desserts, which were fun to make. As pictured, the kitty litter cake came out much better this year (thanks to the food processor that Gma gave to us). It was hit!

I also made a batch of cupcakes that Aaron and I had fun decorating to look like eyeballs.

Aaron actually bought a Halloween costume online this year, but it didn't arrive in time. So, we improvised by visiting the local goodwill/consignment shops. As you can see we did pretty well in coming up with a suitable costumes. We like to say he went as a dork.

I went as a farmer, seeing as the overalls are about all that fits from pre-pregnancy days. We will dress up again this Friday for a Halloween party with our favorite local band. So look for more pictures of the costumes to come.

On Sunday we spend some time around the house...marking things off the "to-do" list. Once we finally figured out how to get on the roof, Aaron painted the dormers, which were starting to chip. I painted the bed - from red to white. The bed will now be moved into the computer room to make room for the crib in the orange room.

Today I have a lot of errands to run...one of which is to get my absentee ballot so that I can vote in the election. I'll have to get up-to-date on the local candidates first. One thing I have learned over the years (especially in my job), is that locally elected officials have a lot of power to change your life...from school board members to city council members - so don't forget to get educated on them as well. And, at the very least register and "rock the vote!"
