Zero Correlation...

So this posting is a stream of consciousness smattering of pictures and odds and ends. The first pics are of the kiddos in some clone troopers helmets and outfits. The next door neighbors ordered this costume for Halloween and it was too small for Hunter so they gave it to Jonathan, who as you can see above LOVES it.

Baby has had lots of fun with the helmet when Jonathan isn't around too... it's very hard to see where you are going when it's on backward.

We pulled out the indoor Halloween decorations too.

Unfortunately the neighbors have decided to have a little friendly "Halloween-Off" competition with us, so the indoor decorations have taken a big backseat to the additional spiders and webs I've been putting in outside to keep up with the Joneses. They have orange lights and a big light up web and graveyard - most impressive, but I think we still have them beat. There was a big windstorm this last weekend and I have some serious work ahead of me to get everything back up. I'll post some more outdoor pics when I've got it all cleaned up (my hanging baskets came crashing down and destroyed my plant pots - what a mess!).

Just had to throw this picture of my new shoes in the mix, aren't they fabulous??? Christopher talked me into buying them at the Macy's sale....

Victoria clone trooper.

We have two froggies hanging out around our flowers - don't know how they are doing since the storm took out their little habitat. I will have to be careful cleaning up the flower mess.

Dave watching Counting Crows from the front row - his birthday present. It was a pretty good show except that they didn't play "Omaha" which was disappointing. The opening act was surprisingly great.

Finally, my new 1588 world map was delivered yesterday from Restoration Hardware (our 11th anniversary present) and we managed to get it up on the wall last night. I'm pretty happy with how well the colors go in that room.
