A little bit of landscaping.

Paul & I were interested in increasing the size of our yard...

so we rented an excavator and...


...demo'd the neighbor's house...

OR....

...maybe the city finally stepped in and knocked down the house next door that had suffered a fire over NINE MONTHS AGO!

Regardless of how it happened and/or who gets credit for it- we have a gaping hole next door...which, of course, leaves us wondering....

What's worse? A half burned down house or a gaping hole?

The only good part is that, indeed, progress is being made. We like progress. We are now, obviously, hoping that some super cool people decide to buy the lot, build a gorgeous house (but not more gorgeous that ours), put in a pool and maybe have us over every weekend in summer for pool parties, guacamole and margaritas....OR we could stop it at "super cool people" and we'd still be happy campers!

Paul & I are looking forward to handing out candy to our neighborhood trick or treaters again this year. We're hoping that last year we helped establish ourselves in the neighborhood's top 10 ranking of "The Coolest Houses to Stop At This Halloween"....if there is such a thing. I'm just assuming there is.

Following the advice of the Snicker's advertisements, we plan to have plenty on hand....



So creepy it's funny, right?

Hopefully we get to see all of our little stinkers (nieces and nephews) in their Halloween costumes this weekend too! If so, you can rest assured more pictures will be coming!

Trick or Treat,
