Been Tagged

Nicole Tagged me with something she received from a friend.  I’m supposed to post pictures of what my house/family are like right now.  So here we go!!!

1)My Kitchen sink Jay was just finishing up washing a few glasses we had.  I had made smoothies for post dinner snack.

And here is the sink as it looked. Just the scrubber was all that was left!

2)  Favorite Room. This is GOING to be my favorite room : >.  We have contractors working on the basement for the next several weeks to finish this off!  Then we’ll get to start on the remodeling upstairs!

3)  Me. Pam got me started reading the ‘Twilight’ series… I’ve been reading the last book off and on, in between football games today.  Man I LOVE Saturdays!!!

4)  My closet. This is what happens when you combine a bachelor pad with a girl.  This will be the next part of the home renovation as soon as the basement it done.

5)  My fridge. Nough said!

6)  Laundry. I was in the middle of doing laundry when I got the email with the ‘tag’.

7)  Shoes. These are oldies but goodies.  They need a little polishing, but I’ll do that before January : >

Kids? This is my only ‘kid’ at home at the moment.  Jay is looking reading his fising email.  Deven is off doing errands and going to hang out with his new girlfriend (he’s smitten).

9)  Bathroom. Man did I luck out!  My housekeeper came just hours before.  There’s a lot of bottles on the sink.  I had taken a box of Nicole’s toiletries from the storage shed, so I tossed a lot of the old stuff and kept some of the better stuff.

10) Dream vacation. I want to go back to Yellowstone!  There are so many beautiful sites that I want to explore a little more.

Halloween 08

I think I’m doing better with the pictures, but still can’t figure out how to make the text go where I want to.  Time I send an email to the ‘help desk’!  Anyway here we go with Halloween…

Halloween is a big event in the Miller household.  Jennifer especially enjoys this holiday which was kicked off with a pumpkin carving contetst at Jen’s on Wednesday.  Jay got a picture of the group with his phone.  I don’t have a copy of it, yet.  When I do I’ll pass it along.  For now you’ll have to settle for a picture of the pumpkin Jay and I did : >

Jen went to a Halloween party given by some gay friends of her’s.  She decided she wanted to be the tough guy of the group and went as a dominatrix.    It’s amazing what you can do with ‘pleather’.  She said it took her almost an hour to lace up the ’stupid boots’.  But she looked great!  The collar was ducktape : >

Now for Halloween Day.  I met Pam and the girls at the Discover Museum in Gateway.  They have a lot of amazing things for kids to do there.  We only did the first of two floors, but that seemed to be more than enough to keep them occupied for quite a while.

Andi especially likes the water attraction and Tenna got a kick out of the plastic trout.

And at the end of the day it was time to go trick or treating.  We went to the mall near my house….

Andi wanted to eat every piece she was given (as she was given them) and had a hard time grasping the concept of putting candy in her backpack and saving it for later (while still being allowed to eat one at a time).  After about 6 suckers we decided it was time to go back to Grandma and Grandpa J’s house where they go peanut butter sandwiches before heading back home.  It was a blast!
