Trick or Treat

I think Grant looks like an absolute treat!!

Nanny is in town - so we went Trick-Or-Treating!

Nothing but treats for Grant!

Done being a Giraffe - for now, he wants to wear it almost every day!

Can't Take the Farm Out of the Boy

Grant has finally gotten big enough to truely ride his tractor we got him for Christmas. He actually drives very well and has even figured out how to use the reverse. The Lanai was kind of limiting for him to ride around in, so we've taken it to the big outdoors! We had to take the tractor to go see the cows on the other side of the neighborhood tonight. We're thinking about opening it up to 2nd speed so we can get there and back before it get's too dark. He's doing great with it - but it's still a little slower of a pace than normal walking.

Project Finished

Previous post = before...

This picture = after.....2 large garabage bags of clothes to Good Will!

It Happened Again!

Our house HAD to be built on a Monday!

How else could my second closet rack come tumbling down???

Another fun weekend project! I will only admit this on the blog - but I think I will actually be going through my clothes and getting rid of what I don't wear....which will be alot in all honesty!!
I hope some charity (and Jon) will appreciate my sacrifice!

New Do's

So after over 20 years of having the same person cut my hair - I have taken a leap of faith and had my hair cut down here in Florida. Even since April, when we moved, I have scheduled hair appointments around coming home. I got nervous when my September trip to IL was cancelled - I knew I wouldn't be able to make it until November when I was going to be home next. WHAT WILL I DO! I thought....Well, one of the ladies Jon works with said she'd help me out and get me in with her lady. So - I drove 2 hours to her hair salon and got my hair cut. Still getting used to it and not for sure how long I'll drive 2 hours to get my hair cut -but it beats the shaggy mess I had.

(Hard to take good pictures of yourself!)

Grant has a new do to!! Well, this one is just every now and then....

he loves his Spiky Hair!!

Fall Temps in Florida?

Nope - I was just gone for a couple of days so Grant was in control! I was a little amazed when I got home that long PJ's, a winter hat, and slippers were all in order when it was over 85 degrees outside! But he was happy!!!

Move Over Michael Phelps

Grant has made major progress in the pool. We've gone from not liking the water, to being in with me, to being in with others to now....swimming on his own with floaties!!!! He even jumps off the side on his own - pops up then kicks over to the other side. He really likes the noodles too. We're very excited about his progress - just now have to get used to getting in the water when it's colder than we like....because we want to keep his excitment going. Come and go swimming with us soon!!!

Finished Product

Sorry it's been so long- so busy around here!

Below are two pictures of the finished tile project. It didn't take us this long to finish - just to post the pictures!
