Tired out

Shopping is hard work.

$550 Tree

Here's a picture of one of my two recently moved trees. The trees (Tulip poplurs) had volunteered up in a couple of our flowerbeds, so rather than just killing them I decided to let them grow a whole and then move them.

Unfortunately I got an unexpected surprise when I dug out the pictured tree. Moving the tree went fine, but when I went back to fill in the hole I found it had partially filled with water. It turned out our well had a leak. So that turned into an excavation by a plumber on a backhoe, and a $550 charge. Lots of fun.

On the bright side, if I had not dug up the tree, and therefore had not discovered the leak, I would have wasted lots of energy and money by continuing to have the pump running to pour water down into the ground, which may have eventually eroded away enough dirt to cause a giant sinkhole which could have swallowed the house.

Old but fun video

This is a video from back before Halloween, but I never got around to posting it back then, so here it is now.

Not dainty!!

Lexi loves pumpkins!!!

EXTREME CLOSEUP!!! WOAH!!

70 degrees + in November? Let's go hiking!

Took advantage of the great weather by going for a nice hike at Fort Harrison State Park today.

For those of you who don't already know, I recently got myself an iPhone, so I've been playing around with it constantly lately. I used our hike today to try out a new app on my iPhone. It's called EveryTrail, and it basically allows you to track your route, and take pictures along the way and have those pics located on the map of your path. So here is the result:

The joy of voting!

We early voted today, trying to beat the crowds...

That didn't exactly work out. We ended up waiting in line for almost 3 hours. Lexi was a trooper but she did get a little grumpy at times about having to wait so long.

The imortant thing is that we got our votes in. Now all that's left is volunteering on Tuesday and then waiting for the results.
