Early Halloween pics

Last night we went to TRUNK-OR-TREAT...businesses in Mitchell line up their vehicles in the middle school parking lot and kids walk around the circle and get candy. So I just had to put the monkeys in their costumes a little early!

Sorry about the glare! The sun was in a bad spot!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO...

ME!!! My husband is out-of-town, so I have to wish myself a happy birthday...he is in Rapid City at All-State Chorus. (for all of you in South Dakota that have PBS, you can watch his kids perform tonight at 9pm!) Anyways, neither of my kids will give me a birthday hug and they are fighting like crazy today! I just went and got a free birthday coffee and I feel like lying around and watching Food Network all day! Only 2 more years 'til 30!

BUGS

So we have box elder bugs EVERYWHERE outside our house and I HATE THEM. I got online to read about how to get rid of them and this is what I read ".....they are usually pests only by their presence, although their piercing-sucking mouthparts can sometimes puncture skin, causing slight irritation. "

Ok, anything with a piercing-sucking mouthpart has got to go.

Another website "They do no damage by feeding, but their excrement spots on draperies are difficult to remove."

I do not want any box elder excrement near my draperies.

Do we even have draperies?

These aren't nearly as bad as the scorpions my sis-in-law in Florida has to deal with, but this is my little MidWestern crisis at the moment. Please let it freeze so they will go away!!!!!!!!!

And the big news is...

WE SOLD IT!!! HOORAY!!!! We are so relieved to have that done and over with! Sad also, that we now officially don't live in Yankton anymore...but we had to get that monkey off our backs!

And another interesting note: a house I had my eye on that went "sale pending" a few months ago is now back on the market. So, we will see what happens after November 15!!!
