We’re pretty astonished at how well our flowers our doing this late in the fall. Only our purple asters have died in the cold. Also – the cold is preserving our pumpkins quite nicely!

Halloween Weekend
We went to Gary and Daniel’s to share our pony keg of Bell‘s Oberon and to carve our pumpkins. Josh recreated his childhood friend, Mr. Gourdman – with a dangling eyeball innovation. And Jeannette showed her Celtic’s Fandom with a Shaq-O’Lantern. It was a multi-day effort.
Before we left Gary and Daniel’s house, Mr. Gourdman tried on a few different hats!
Jeannette had a bit more work to do. Magellan helped.
Now we’ve got the starting 5 on the back side!
They glow!
We love that one eye dangles from its optic nerve!
These eyeballs are “18″s
With our awesome view:
And now with our brand new patio lights turned on. We strung those this weekend too!

Christmas is over
In the dorm we used to wait until Valentines Day to take down our Christmas card door. Our kiddos didn’t come back from vacation until around then. It was nice to have them see their cards hanging up. But now that we are in the “real world” it started to seem like overkill. We already posted pictures of our Christmas tree, but wanted to post pictures of our Christmas card door (and wall) before clearing it for the new year. Another change from living in the dorm is that we hang all the cards and letters on the INSIDE of the door instead of decorating the outside of our door and hallway. While that was kosher in the dorm, it might be a little weird for our neighbors here!
