Home Alone

Here I am. Home alone! Jon has only left me only twice before in 8 1/2 years. He has a business trip in Denver this week. I'm not scared to be by myself, especially since I have the dogs, but it will certainly be weird without him for 5 days! I hope I get up for work! I usually rely more on Jon to wake me up than the alarm clock!

The real question is what will I do with myself this week...so much to do before the holidays! We still aren't 100% done with our new floors. Will we ever be done? Seems like we've been working on them for months- oh wait- it has been months!

I hope to surprise Jon with my progress this week. I want to restore order back to our home! We have a grandfather clock in the kitchen- for 2 months now! I'd love to have everything back in place before he returns!

Here I am writing this, missing Jon already, but he hasn't even left Louisville! His flight doesn't leave for another 35 minutes. It's going to be a long week!! Hope Jon has a great time!

Happy Halloween!

Hope everyone had a great Halloween! Jon & I sat outside handing out candy to the Trick or Treaters! We always play a spooky Halloween CD! The kids are so cute! I do think we had fewer kids this year, than last!

Our friends, David & Lesley stopped by with their daughter Taylor and nephew, Mikey. The kids played with Kobe & Allie in the front yard. The dogs were worn out after all that running! Sorry, but we didn't do David & Lesley the same favor- we gave Taylor & Mikey sugar and caffeine in the form of Mountain Dew and Pixie Stixs! Sorry guys!

Also, friends, Carrie & Mike visited with their daughter, MaKenzie. She is getting so big- already two! Kobe and MaKenzie had a big time playing together. Allie was too pooped to pop!

After the Halloween festivities were over, Jon & I played cards with Troy & Elisha. We haven't played cards in months! It was a great way to end the day!

I just want to say that this has been a beautiful weekend! It's the first weekend in November and it's 74 degrees today! We're so taking advantage of the sunshine and warm temps. We have the windows up & the back door is open. I have to admit- it's nice when the dogs can come and go as they please.
