Our showerless numbered days…
Luckily we have some very gracious friends that have allowed us to borrow their showers while ours gets a facelift. The tile guys were here all day working on the bathroom, while I stayed holed up with my germs in the back bedroom. I probably got a good 10 naps in today while I was hoping to wake up and see sparkling new tile in the shower. But no, we are still in the prepping stage I guess. We have an estimated “done date” of next Wednesday, December 2nd…I hope he remembers he is doing the floors too cause we are sure cutting it close with Liam due in just about a month!

Edward Scissorhands Pumpkin
It took us until the day before Halloween to make time for carving our pumpkin. And even then, we squeezed in a date at Cafe Piccolo and a movie we have been waiting 2 weeks to see, Where the Wild Things Are, at the Art Theatre before Marta went to bed and I took the time to gut our pumpkin and put it under the knife. I wish I could say the carving experience was more enjoyable, but in comparison to the dinner and movie with my wonderful wife, it ended up being more of a chore. I was looking for a movie to watch while I did the carving and found my inspiration in Johnny Depp’s character from Tim Burton’s Edward Scissorhands. I am happy with the results, even though one of our “much to old to be trick-o-treating” trick-o-treaters tonight asked me who it was, and I told him, he said, “oh yea? i guess it sort of looks like him”

Marta’s Mask
My wife is a crafting genius. She made this owl mask for our friend Susie who was hosting a Masquerade Fundraiser for a project she is involved with called KidTrek. Go to http://www.kidtrek.org to learn more and help support her.

JLOOP Halloween
Trick-or-treat.
We had a JLOOP party. Pizza, candy, pumpkins, piñata, candy, costumes, dry ice, noodles, candy corn, monsters, candy, and more candy…the kids loved it.
Check out the JLOOP festivities by clicking on one of the thumbnails below:
My favorite moment from last night was when I told Micah (the scarecrow), “Hey Scarecrow, Nice costume…you look scary”
And he responded with “Youre welcome”.
Stay Gold.
Do We Have Enough
This was a really fun and exciting project to work on with the JLOOP team. It is the brainchild of the incredible “Jay Dysart of The Internets” and it was a lot of fun to work on and will be exciting to watch it grow and develop! And yes, there will be more characters coming soon. We are starting with incorporating the JLOOP team and maybe a celebrity here and there. We’ve got one JLOOPer currently in the line-up…can you guess which one?
Trimco Carpentry
My good friend Mark is a contractor and I’ve been helping him with some website updates here and there. One day we were talking and we decided it was time for a complete overhaul on his site. Something clean and simple, while being professional and current. The content of the site is still under development, but we are both happy with the design elements. Now Mark just needs to get a Facebook! ha!
Pumpkin Patch 2009
Still having fun with the new camera. Tried some night time shots and came out with some fun photos. I especially like the couple of photos of the kids on the carny version of the teacups…
New camera = dog photoshoot
We gave in and got a new camera…and we splurged and finally went with a Canon Rebel! I have eager to try it out, and what better subject than our dog Henry…
Home Improvement Update 2.5
The revisions to our lovely home have continued. It definitely was a lovely house to begin with, but it was a tad on the grandma side. No offense to the previous owner, but i don’t mean the grandma-style that marta loves so dearly. i’m talking christmas-plaid, country-mom, ducks-and-those-dolls-with-straw-hair grandma style!!
Anyways, I have many more photos to post including the mantle and cabinet my friend Mark just built for us, but for now I’m posting a photo of our new/old 1920’s chandelier courtesy of Maile Eaton and the piano that was just passed down to Marta from her Aunt Lisa…Thank you to both parties!
The chandelier and the piano all in one room

That last photo kept reminding me of that old Spike Jones commercial for Ikea. If you haven’t seen it…change that now:
