Happy Halloween!

So today is supposed to be full of ghosts, goblins, witches, and lots of cute little kids (and furbabies!) running around looking for treats. It's also the first (of many) holidays that my husband and I will spend in our new home. As most people do, I went out and bought a couple of bags of candy hoping that for the first time, we'd finally have some trick or treaters. My parents always lived out in the boonies and we never were graced with any cute little characters looking for treats while I was growing up. However I have hopes that even though my husband and I are living in the boonies now, we might luck up and get a few this year since we actually have people that live down the road from us! I did my best to decorate (AKA put a pumpkin out by our house) so we shall see. Of the two bags of candy I originally bought, I think it's been whittled down to a little less than one so I do hope we get SOME trick or treaters, but just not a lot. ;) In any event, I'll report back tomorrow. Happy Halloween!!!

A foursome? Hmmm....

So I've been tagged by my fabulous friend Rhonda. Since I haven't had anything exciting (or anything I feel blog worthy) to discuss lately, I'll break my silence by playing along =) Oh, and I think all my other bloggers have been tagged so I'll let this tag die silently......

The Cousins come to play.....

Much to (I'm sure) my mom and dad's dismay, they have not been graced with the presence of any "human" grandbabies at this time. Therefore, they're stuck with lots of furry grandkids. Today, my brother's Weimaraners, Diesel and Steiger, came to visit their cousins Abby and Payton. While Abby LOVES playing with her new found family, Payton isn't quite as excited when these particular cousins come to visit. Pay is more fond of her cousin Layla (my brother and his wife's Yorkie) since she's a lot calmer and not near as rough and tumble as the Grey Guys are. Anyway, just wanted to snap a few pics of the kiddies playing (and of course, Payton trying to avoid them).

Meet Steiger:
