Summer Weather in November?

I can't believe the weather this week! It's been in the 70's! It seriously feels like summer. I guess it's unusual for this time of year. Hey I'll take it! I'll take whatever warmth I can get! I know it's going to start getting very cold very soon (brrr ...my first Michigan winter!)So we have been spending as much time outside as possible.


Here are some pictures of Halloween that I didn't get around to posting till now. Hannah is a little lamb and Nick is Superman. (I am suppost to be SuperMom!)




On another note, we have finally made some progress on our dining room and living room. We decided to put up wainscoting in the dining room and crown moulding in both the living and dining room. We started this project like two months ago and it is finally just now getting done. This project has taken us so long to accomplish (well, it's not totally done yet but very close). We've been doing all the work ourselves which takes so much longer because we have to work on it after Marc gets home from work and its so hard with the kids. DIY projects are not easy! And why do they always seem to be so much easier before you do them than they actually turn out to be? It's probably because we have like zero experience and hardly any professional tools. But it's definately been a learning experience and I have to admit, it's quite rewarding once it's done (knowing that you did it yourself). I will post some pictures of how it's turned out. We still have to caulk, fill in nail holes, and paint (much simpler things but still time consuming). I am so excited to finally see it getting done. Of course there is already another project that I have in mind to do. (Poor Marc, he just "loves" it when I come up with one of my ideas). In his words, I am "opening up a can of worms"!
