Halloween.

I hope you had a wonderful Halloween, no matter how you celebrated. It’s our first time living in a real neighborhood, since we’ve been married and I had visions of tons of kids walking around in cute costumes coming to collect candy. We had a little set-up outside for the occasion and brough out our grill, chairs and our pumpkin.

We had three. They got generous helpings of candy, but we still have plenty more. Luckily, we had fun just hanging out, playing with the pup-kin, and taking pictures.

I made sure to bundle up, it was pretty chilly out last night!

My costume? Ummm…warm. I represented warmth and comfiness. Yep, that was me. Only kidding. We didn’t really dress up this year, although we did dress-up as Ross & Rachel for a party the other night. I wore a mustache and Adam wore cat whiskers with “Ross” on his forehead. Remember the Vegas episode? That’s what we were going for. It’s my favorite show and I was lucky that Adam is such a good sport and doesn’t mind being goofy with me.

I must say, I loved Nola’s costume much more than ours!

We weren’t going to get her a costume, but they were 75% off at PetSmart yesterday. I can handle a $5 costume and I could not resist buying her that when I put it on her. Too cute!

When I was a kid, my first costume was a pumpkin. I thought I’d pass that tradition along, especially since we didn’t carve one this year. Sad. But, I must say, she’s definitely my favorite pumpkin ever!

Warm.

Here’s a little story about the mister.

The other night I walked into our room to find him on my side of the bed. I put my hands to hip, ready to give him trouble(jokingly) about being on the wrong side and then, before I could get even halfway through my sentence, I realized what he was doing. He was warming up my side for me, since our house gets pretty chilly at night. I love that sweet man of mine.

Little Family Date.

The other day, I received a text from the husband that the three of us were going on a family date. I love spontaneous little “dates” and was all for it. He took Nola and I to the park for a walk around the lake and I loved it! Nola seems to have regressed lately, as far as training goes, so we spent most of the time waiting for her to stop pulling and sit. Easier said than done with this one. Still, we had a wonderful time just being together and it certainly wore her out, which is a huge plus in our book!

Here’s a little taste of what we’re dealing with, of course she was trying to get to the geese, but this is basically what it’s like whenever we walk her. Please note at the eighteen second mark how she ever-so-slowly sits down, waiting for us to start walking so she can dart off. Sneaky little one, isn’t she? I also love the fact that her tongue tends to fall to the side, out of her mouth. So cute. But boy, she’s getting strong!
