Well I hope everyone had a happy and safe halloween. We had a great turnout, with lots of trick or treaters comming up until about 9pm! My son really enjoyed it, when he was done trick or treating he was in charge of handing out candy and also working our fog machine as people approached our door. So our next holiday is Thanksgiving and I added a countdown clock over on the right so let the games begin, soon Christmas will be approaching, I already see the stuff in stores.

My son is always asking me to have a “campout” with him on the weekends (and sometimes the weekday). This usually meens we setup camp in one of the spare bedrooms and stay up late and watch movies, eat snacks, read etc..
Well last night he decided he wanted to have the campout downstairs on the pull out bed that is in our couch, so we did and let me tell you, it was so much fun! We setup camp around 9pm and were in bed watching some movies and eating snacks until close to midnight. After pulling out the bed I realized how much I needed to vacuum under that area since we haven’t pulled out the bed in a few months. So after some cleaning and picking up old loose change we hit the bed and started our camping.
This was the longest he has slept in, we woke up a little after 9am and definatly are going to do this again, luckily it was the weekend so we could sleep in a bit. But what a fun time. It was a little to cold outside to camp in the tent and I was happy to be inside. In South Jersey our weather right now is nice but it definatly gets chilly overnight. Pumpkin time soon! Check out the clock for how many days are left until Halloween!

So you can see on the right I have added a clock for a countdown to halloween. Can you believe it’s so close? What are you going to be ? I am still trying to decide on my costume and will make sure I post
pictures when I get it.

So I have decided that after every holiday, I am going to update that box on the upper right with a countdown to the next holiday.
So after Halloween we will be counting down to Thanksgiving.
Wow, the time sure does go fast

I guess summer is really over when the kids are back in school. I am closing the pool this week and starting on cleaning the leaves that have started falling. Fall is my favorite time of year, I enjoy the cool weather and am excited already for Halloween. South Jersey is nice this time of year with the leaves changing color, there are some great places to go to take some great pictures of them.
