Happy Halloween!

Hope you all had a great Halloween.  Once the contractor left that evening, we had to kick it in high gear and carve our pumpkin and decorate the outside of the house.  Our next door neighbor gave us caution tape that we used to cover the porch, since the ramp to the house was taken down and there are no porch lights on the exterior of the house.  Got it all done - the kids dressed in their costumes and even had dinner too in a little over a hour.  CET got the hang of it this year.  He ran from house to house following the heels of CAT - said his "Treat or Treat" and "Thank yous".  It was great.

The fire insert was also installed on that day.  It was a tight fit, but it's in and looks great.  The two older boys had to sleep in the family room that night.  It was nice for them to wake up in a not so cold room and the fireplace running.  I almost want one in my room since it's so pretty to look at...plus the fact it keeps you toasty!

The shingles came in today.  The contractor will start putting it up tomorrow....but we hear it's going to rain on Thursday, so he may not be able to finish it by the weekend.  We will see...cross your fingers for no rain.  I would love to see the exterior done.


Kenny from South Park (no, he has never seen that show, but his friend told him he should dress like Kenny since he has an orange hoodie) and the two ninjas...ready for Halloween.


Caution!  Do not enter!


Not much decoration, but hey, we only had an hour!


Our new fireplace!  There are clear glass beads inside.
