Pumpkin Scene

It was a productive weekend around the Lovely Residence: Floors were swept, squash soup was brewed, crafts were created and pumpkins were carved.

I picked my pumpkin and got started with my haunted house design. I also claimed Stella's pumpkin so we could be a theme. Stella was quite agreeable. When Henry tossed around the idea of carving a traditional pumpkin face, I whimpered with disappointment. We are a family, so certainly our pumpkins should coordinate...

Nikki, Stella, Henry

A Happy Halloween seems promising for the Lovely's!

House Hunters Duluth

We are in the first stages of the house hunt. I love gettin' inside people's houses and snooping around, you know, just the basics. I have never rifled through anyone's panty drawer. Being inside beats driving around at night hoping people's shades are up and lights are on.

Even more exciting is the idea of buying a house and taping for HGTV's House Hunters. That's right, I applied! First we need to purchase our new place and then we need to send a video. Henry is luke warm about the idea and suggested that between the two of us, I will have to be the personality....ummm, obvious!

As we have only just started the hunt for our perfect place, here are our top three contenders (in no particular order)...

Can you imagine it through all the trees?
This is the kind of place I imagined we would live when we started throwing around the idea of house hunting.

You may recognize this house from my first post.
The layout is fantastic.
One step inside the door and you might expect to see Alice in the kitchen and Greg smoking pot in the den. This house may inspire us me to chage our last name to Brady.



We are kind of addicted to houses built in the 50s.
I would paint the shit out of the exterior. I think they were trying to make it blend into the woods.
Does it remind you of a tree? Anyone?

 

Here's to the hunt!

the worms crawl in, the worms crawl out

you better believe it, our little Stella

 has worms in her poop and a tape worm to boot

Sorry I didn't warn you about the graphic post. I thought you should all know what is really going on at the Lovely Residence.

On another note, now that I am a blogger, a compulsive blogger, I could hardly sleep last night because I am so excited about my new hobby. I am trying to convince Henry that I need a fancy camera. You know the kind, big black and to the point!

I'll let you know how that discussion plays out.
