November is here already? October flew by in a flash! We got some yard projects finished before the weather turned colder; one of them was adding some stone to the flower bed area. I like how it turned out, and now the dirt won't wash away as much. I do plan to cover the dirt with mulch in the spring, but didn't this year since it would just wash down the hill.
I also was able to plant a good 100+ spring bulbs here so I hope they come up okay. But we still need to do some things from simply bringing in the lawn furniture to the more difficult job of sealing the drive way (ugh). There just never seems to be enough time, and when we do have time lately, the weather doesn't cooperate. Here is what we woke up to last Saturday:
I found the mixture of fall leaves and fat snow flakes kind of funny and very pretty! But even my Christmas cactus was confused by all the snow and has been blooming:
Ben and Cori are doing great - they've had a touch of some bad colds but are doing well. Ben keeps smiling and babbling and playing with some baby toys. His hair is definitely lightening up and he is sleeping well for the most part. Anna, I got a TON of compliments on the sweater you made him. So cute!
Cori enjoyed the anticipation of Halloween and REALLY enjoyed trick or treating. She went out for about an hour and that was enough for her. Dave said she was down right giddy at times - childhood joy is such a magical thing! It's a shame that it rained - it really cut down on the number of little kids that were out.
Here she is ready to head out for her candy, uttering the battle cry of CHOCOLATE! Just kidding.
Don't knock the make up job - it's taken me years to do my make up and she kept wanting more on. Plus it was Halloween - part of the fun is to look a little scary! Ben was much less enthused about Halloween as you can see below.
Here she is with some of her loot.
