Our first real trunk or treat

It was pure mayhem but the monkey loved it

Having fun with some make-up

i bought the little monkey a cheap eyeliner in the color of gold. She’ll ask every once in a while to play with mine, or even just have me draw a heart or star on her cheek. I thought this would be a cheaper alternative then using my Bobbi Brown makeup. Tonight she decided to practice a bit on my face. Thank goodness the color is pretty faint.

At the playground on a chilly autumn day

We pretty much had the whole playground to ourselves

Victorious after completing the corn maze!

Oh sorry...and here’s the after of the tv room in the basement

A nice and cozy room to use now 🙂

Our new closet doors

Finally got all the orangey wood covered up! The white might have been a little better with a tiiiiny bit of grey or brown in it so it’s not so fluorescent white looking, so I may revisit that another time. But for now, with the new hardware and a darker rug in front, it works for me. That rug probably won’t be the one that stays there, just wanted to see if a darker rug works.

Thoughts?

Some more basement photos

Here’s a before.  Why people post photos with their pets on the realtor sites, I’ll never know.

More fall activities

This is a week old but wanted to post it anyway. Since we live near several farms, there are a TON of fall activities we can participate in. This farm in particular has people running the farm in Little House on the Prairie style clothes and I guess old fashioned tools and stuff. They had some historic toys, like the “pony” in the picture (you can see some other kids playing on stilts and hitting hoops with a stick). They showed us how to shed corn cobs for feeding their hens, had some cider made with a hand press. It was fun. And free, which was my favorite part 🙂. Then we paid ten bucks for a giant freshly squeezed lemonade with a pound of sugar and some crappy fries. Great way to end the day!

Just doing some fall stuff

Our annual apple and pumpkin picking trip in Colts Neck. Not a great turnout with the apples due to the rainy summer and into fall, npbut the weather was perfect!
