An update with lots of Santo Pictures

Adam and I have been busy cleaning out our guest room. We are going to have our first house guest over Thanksgiving so we are trying to get the house organized.

(And by organized I mean everything strategically placed in the closet.)

At any rate, we have been busy taking care of and decorating our new house.

The newest addition is the table we have in our front hall. I was looking for a good place to put my welcome sign and this turned out to be the best solution. We may get a coat rack and some mirrors to go on the wall, but that will come in time.

Santo  helped eat the Styrofoam as we assembled the table, she felt like she was helping. She was proud.

I recently went to a craft fair with a friend and her mom. This was my big purchase:

The feathers are made of napkins and can obviously be removed. I thought it was a fun addition for Thanksgiving time.

Adam and I also recently made a trip to the newly opened Whole foods.

I’m glad we got there early because the store isn’t as big as I thought. The aisles were pretty crowded even early in the morning but it was still fun. We loaded up on a lot of gluten free goodies. We spent way more than we should have, but we had fun and it will take us quite some time to work through all the stuff we bought.

Santo decided that she wanted to participate in Halloween. She was a pumpkin.

 

Unfortunately we only had one trick-or-treater.

Santo was also able to have a play date with Chloe one day when our heater was broken and the house filled with smoke…yeah, that was fun.

And, Adam has taken to dressing Santo in his clothes…

At any rate, we are keeping busy and the house is looking better every day.

The grass here is finally starting to go dormant and the trees are beginning to lose their leaves. Although we are still having some pretty warm days (temps in the high 60’s and low 70’s). We are praying for a mild winter!

We will try to write again soon, hopefully after Thanksgiving when things calm down again.
