Do You See What I See?

Look closely at the picture and you will see what Jeff and I noticed upon arriving home this afternoon. WE HAVE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS!! O.K., so it is a little ridiculous...we aren't even in November yet, but it was cheaper to have them put up early.

I don't do much decorating for any other holiday, but for Christmas I like to go all out. I usually start the day after Thanksgiving. Now that the lights are up I am kind of in the mood and wish it was a month from now...I already have my garland made and waiting in our game room. So fun...I can't wait to see how it all looks. Until then...I'm off to clean to some Christmas music!

Could It Get Any Worse...

...than finding this in your backyard?? I guess the actual snake might have been worse, but I almost would have rather seen it so I could have killed it. Now I know it is still lurking around somewhere near, which is a thought I don't like. I knew the day would come eventually with a dry creek bed behind our house but still, seeing it yesterday kind of freaked me out (it was right next to our back porch!!).

Moose checking it out.

Making sure everything is OK.

Little Baby Saw Saw

Sitting in his new favorite spot...too bad it is somewhere he is not allowed to be. Jeff and I keep saying God made him so cute because He knew he was going to be so bad. How could you get mad at this little one...
