I was busy cleaning up some Halloween decorations, and craft painting outside while I could today! A great day... rain tomorrow...BUT at least it's not SNOW! OH! the poor east coast! That is snow one gets in January, not October! UGH!!!!
So for Halloween we always set up the fire pit out front, wait for the trick or treater's and trick or DRINK for the adults! Hubby and I started doing this when the kids got old enough to go out on their own... We would sit and wait, neighbor's would join in. It's like the last hurrah before winter sets in....Always a good time.... So here's hubby about 3pm yesterday getting the fire started...
Knuckles of course looking on....
As night set in...We really don't get many trick or treater's anymore...sigh...So love seeing all the kids dressed up... We really get more teenagers then anything....My brother's family stopped by for a "drink" and they were all decked out as the Wizard of Oz....
TOO! CUTE! William comes up to me... I am like "oh NO not the flying Monkeys!!!" He's so cute... he's like Auntie "RE" It's me William!!! LOL
My brother the scarecrow, of little BRAIN! HEHEE!!! And my SIL Michelle the "evil witch"

Looks great in the front room with the love seat one too... NOW did I think to take a picture to show off both of them?!?!!? NOPE! blond moment! Forgot! UGH!
You can kinda see the side of the love seat in the back ground...

I did blog about it..) then between the 2 chairs, see all the "body" parts waiting to be put together.... sigh... so much to do, so little time to get it all done! Sorry this post was a bit all over the place... I guess I am having a bit trouble focusing on one thing these days....oh well....Off to finish dinner... Have a great night... OLM

You always have some fun adventure! LOL! Glad you all had a chance to unwind, and when my hubby buys Grainbelt, I always think of you and your hubby! LOL!
I still make him rinse the bottles!
Love the beginnings of your snowmen, and I don't even want to think about that yet! It's been cool and cloudy here. We have fired the stove up a few times already!
I love the chair, and I am glad it wasn't as difficult this time around!

What a fun Halloween tradition. I love a good get together with friends and food and fire. I love what you are working on. I can't wait to see them all put together. Your rocking chair looks really comfy actually. I love that color. -Steph-
Love your stuff! I live in Genoa and shop at Poppie Seed all the time (much to my husband's dismay!). Susan said that you do some swaps and told me about your blog. I am looking forward to participating and following!
