Fall Updates

A few weekends ago I updated the house with all my 'fall/ Halloween/ pumpkin/ harvest' decorations. 

Check them out in the pictures below! 

Boo and Pumpkin stakes in the yard- I bought spider webs for the bushes that I'm going to put on this week.  And Jerad swears he's going to take me to buy a pumpkin this week!

Bless our home Scarecrow and Skeleton

Random jack-o-lantern dishes with candy

Leaves and fall utensil holder for my cooktop

Happy Harvest wooden sign in the kitchen - remember when I bought them from the garage sale?  What a steal!

Ghost and witch in the hallway

More peppers!

And some baby jalepenos!  I wonder if they'll be spicy...

SMU v TCU

A couple weeks ago, Jerad and I travelled to Fort Worth for the SMU TCU game.

It was an exciting game that ended in a Mustang Victory!

SMU hasn't beat TCU since Jerad was QB in '05.  Check out the link for the 2005 play by play!

Just as we did in '05, SMU fans stormed the field.

It was the perfect Saturday!

House Maintenance

A couple weeks ago, Jerad and I did some maintenance around the house. 

We drained, cleaned and refilled our lovely green hot tub.

Here's a pic of Jerad balancing the chemicals.  He tests the levels every two weeks.

I organically fertlized the lawn with Milorganite and Ironite to balance the iron and acid in our grass.  A landscaping friend passed this tip along to us about a year ago and I've kept it up every quarter!  

It's made the biggest difference in the reduction of our weeds.  Here I am...fertilizing away!

Here's a pic of our garage..We try to keep it clean and organized.

This is my tool closet (door with the pink bag on the handle in the pic above). 

 I love the storage in this house.  Lots of room for my Home Depot purchases.

The other side of the garage with our bikes, gardening and landscaping supplies, and outdoor fridge.

 Our paint closet on the back patio.  You can't tell from the picture, but we have TONS of paint on four deep shelves and about twenty sample cans from Sherwin Williams.  I always have to get the color JUST RIGHT. 

And on a completely unrelated note- We have Green Peppers!  Yippee!
