Getting closer...

We now have THIS....


in the basement. Glen came home with it today. We have to let it acclimate for a few days before we can start to install it, but it's here! 23 glorious boxes of Vienna Cherry flooring. Woo Hoo!!! (It's not really red at all, not sure why they named it Cherry.)

I finally downloaded the Halloween pictures from my camera. I really didn't get any great shots. Ethan is still not into having his picture taken. First is him going up to the haunted house, for which he decided he might need his light saber. For every other house I ended up holding it. Oh, and we ended up getting a blue light saber (the correct color for Obi) the next week at the Dollar Store, so the old saying "A day late and a dollar short" is almost appropriate here. Oh, well. Next photo is him and his loot. Not bad for just going around one circle and a cul-de-sac. It's still almost all on the kitchen counter. I guess he is not much of a candy man. Probably a good thing since he has a dentist appointment on Monday.




Last photo for now is the softest blanket you will ever feel. Seriously. It is amazing. Thanks again, Aunt Jude. After I walk Ethan to the bus every morning, I come home and snuggle under it while watching Ellen. It is SOOO warm and soft.



OK, that's all for now. They say it should snow tomorrow (really this time, not like the false alarm last month), so I want to go out and get some new boots for me and Ethan. His don't fit from last year, and the zipper broke on mine.
