It always seems like fall is busy between school, sports, holidays, and birthdays. This year was particularly full with visitors and projects.
Sadly, in September we said goodbye to one of our guinea pigs. She had the sweetest personality and genuinely seemed to enjoy being with us - rather than just tolerating the humans who feed her. She would curl up in my sweatshirt and take a nap when I was watching TV. I miss her.
Also in September, we all traveled to Green Bay to tailgate with the family and Bryan, Lydia, and Brett went to the game. It was against the Vikings and did not go in our favor. In November, Reggie and Bryan went to the Green Bay vs. Detroit game.
We enjoyed a visit from Papa and MeeMaw over homecoming weekend and they watched the kids do their sports. Then my aunt and uncle came to visit and watch the kids play. I took a day off and showed them around Stillwater. It was a lovely fall day.
The next weekend was our fall break. We went to our favorite pumpkin patch and checked out a state park in Wisconsin. Reggie and Lydia went on a haunted hayride and toured a haunted house. The rest of us enjoyed food trucks! The following week, my other aunt and uncle were in town and we met up with them for dinner!
In October and November, we completed a big house project. We had a lot of wallpaper in our house. Over the summer, Reggie, Bryan, and I removed the paper and painted the walls in the laundry room. Reggie and I attempted to take the wallpaper down in the rest of the house, but it was clear that it would not be coming down without professional help. Our contractor took down the wallpaper and skim-coated all the walls in the entire living, kitchen, foyer, stairway, and upstairs hallway area. Then my niece came and helped us paint. It is so nice to have that project done and it feels like a new home!
