New House and Halloween

We've had a busy couple of weeks. We moved into a new house (which we LOVE), and celebrated Halloween while unpacking boxes, organizing, and trying to dream up some good renovations on our house. Gigi and Pops also came for a quick and wonderful visit.

Our new house was built in the 1960 and the same man lived in it until last May. He left us gems like this:

And this 50 year old oven

We do have some new things though, and the boys (and me!) are certainly enjoying the washer and dryer.

Halloween Night

Gabe's costume was completely directed by him. He saw the dryer ducts at a hardware store and immediately switched from wanting to be a ghost for Halloween to a robot. He wanted the boxes white, not silver, and he did NOT want any buttons, volumes, knobs or stripes. "Just plain" he kept saying.For the most part it worked out well, although he had some trouble staying on his feet when we went trick or treating.
