Day 307

Update on the BCA tree. Almost all the leaves are gone. I guess it's next pic will be covered by snow?

Day 306

The moon rising while waiting for Nick to get out of basketball practice. The time change has really messed with my whole schedule!!

Day 305

The leaves that still remain on the tree in the front yard.

Day 304

Jack, watching leaves outside the door.

Day 303

Today was the BCA Varsity v Alumni game. Since this was first year as a Varsity player, it's the first year I went. Most of our varsity players graduated last year (hence, Nick playing varsity, lol). So, we're having a building year. If this game is any indication, this year is going to be HARD. The size difference between the kids that graduated a year or two ago and the currently players is AMAZING!! I hope our boys will have a growth spurt. SOON!!! I have no idea what the final score was 'cause the guys keeping score decided to add about 25 points to the varsity score & they "won" by about 2 points. The funniest thing: Jacob Gray (8th grade) playing against his dad (BCA class of 86!!)

Day 302

How about a little tour of my Halloween House?? Let's start outside: There are lights in the bushes and lights on the dusk to dawn light too but I guess I didn't get pics of those. I also never got around to buying "real" pumpkins this year. But, this is my front door. The ghosts to the left or on the right side of the door and the ghost below is on the left. I LOVE the hanging ghost that's in my tree. I bought him on a whim one year from the garden store at the corner of my neighborhood. The kids have lights in the windows of their rooms. They pretty much NEVER remember to turn them of in the morning so they are on 24/7. LOL

Coming in the front door, these are in my foyer. My MIL got me the witch one year for my birthday. The rusty Halloween sign was a Target clearance!

This shelf is at the top of the stairs. I waited & waited to get the witch. Target had TONS & I knew I could get it for 1/2 off the day after! Into the living room.

The dining room shelf:




These guys are in my kitchen windowsill. The garland I showed a few days ago is above this window. It's been so warm this year that the fan was in the window for most of October.

The doors: Nick's, Becca's and the bathroom (I guess I need to find a spooky for Scott & my room?)

And, finally, the basement:

If I have time before Thanksgiving, I'll take pics of my fall decor then.

Day 301

This is our candy tub! We don't give out Trick or Treat candy anymore and the kids don't go door to door either. A few years ago, I got sick of the "bussed" in kids that come to our neighborhood. I told the kids that I would give them $$$ to not dress up & we'd buy a "good" candy assortment. It worked. Now, I get all the chocolate I want (Take 5s are only available on holidays now!!) and the kids are happy!!
