Fall Break!

Day 1 - This past week Kacey had her Fall break from school. Not having much else to do, I too took some time off from work. What did we do you ask... Clean the house. You see, we are in somewhat of a battle with our home builder. It took them 4 visits and 1 no show just to fix two HUMONGOUS cracks in the ceiling. In the aftermath a cloud of dust was left covering everything! It doesn't hurt to give the floors a good ole yearly scrub anyway!

Day 2 - We, as good US citizens went and cast our vote early. This was actually my 1st time to vote (Nick). It was quite exciting really, they gave me a free sticker when we were done. We unashamedly voted for the McPalin and Republican ticket. Later on that day, i spent some time working from home (I couldn't help myself)

Day 3 - Saturday!!! I slept in until 6:30 and enjoyed a great cup of Nicaraguan coffee, while doing a little more work from home. Kacey arose at 9:15 and then had her morning workout. After that we had a delightful breakfast. I diddled around in the yard until 11:30, and then went over to my friend Luke's house and uncharacteristically watched a football game. Almost to halftime, I got a call from Kacey because a Vacuum cleaner salesman showed up at the house and wouldn't leave. I came to her rescue while denying the sale of the $2,000 Kirby!!! Later that day we went to a local Pumpkin patch with Luke and Candace. We got a couple really nice ones and had to buy a few of the ugly ones too! We enjoyed dinner at the Mellow Mushroom pizza place.

Day 4 - Was skip church and relax.

Enjoy these candid pictures!

These pumps didn't make the pick!

But these did-

Halloween A comin'

Fall is in the air here in Tennessee, so we decided to get the Halloween box out and do a little decorating. 

We knew that Sofie had a costume for trick or treating, but Scruff didn't have one. So we have been trying to think of a cute costume that reflects his personality. We came up with: a skunk....(definitely fits his personality), Superman...(he's more of a villain than a hero) a ladybug....(well, I don't want him to get beat up.....and then we saw it - a spider!! Yes, that was definitely him. We bought it and brought it right home. He did really good when we put it on him and it entertains him, too. He is constantly moving around and then trying to catch one of the legs. It's a perfect fit. 

Sofie had a Sleeping Beauty costume (yes, that does fit her personality...she sleeps all the time) and we had to get the two of them dressed up for a trial run. Sofie's costume puts her in a very depressed mood. She mopes around the entire time. We'll have to see how she is when she goes around the neighborhood for a walk in it...she is usually a wild maniac on a walk.

 We will post some pictures when we take them on Halloween, but here is a preview. Enjoy!! 

Look, Sofie's already yawning!

Seconds later, she is found sleeping-
