Possum

Tuesday, October 22, 2019
I was convinced there was a possum wrecking havoc in our yard, but I realize that's a bold statement. However, I started seeing holes in our grass/mulch and some of our new plants were missing. I mean how else do you explain that?

I was looking at the neighbors new spotlight, also shining right into our house, this evening and then I saw it. I grabbed a flashlight and ran outside. The possum was walking along the top of our fence; he froze in the light. And then I froze. What do I do? I don't have a BB gun? Is that even legal? This thing is so ugly. Where's Ross?  Somehow I settled on "Shoooo, go away, scat you pest".

Now taking "how to get rid of a possum in our yard" suggestions.

Not as Planned

Tuesday, October 15, 2019
We tried to be super fun weeknight parents with a pizza/pool family night and it totally went sideways when Paige got sick. Poor Baby with a tummy bug. Do we at least get credit for trying? or partial credit?

On the bright side, the Astros won...

Sailboats and Sangria

So glad we got to take in some of the fall colors in the Northeast. I bet Newport is feeling a lot colder now than it was a month ago!

Cocktails at the Mansion :)

Biking Boston

Monday, October 7, 2019
While Houston was under seige from a tropical storm a few weeks ago, Ross and I were enjoying perfect weather in Boston. We did a city bike tour where I was reminded that there ain't no "Southern Hospitality" in Boston :)

Holy Real Estate. This row home goes for upwards of $13MM apparently!

Looking across the river to Cambridge

Halloween Decorations

Sunday, October 6, 2019
Here's what happened today-

C: "Mom when are you going to put up Halloween decorations?"
E: "I put some leaves on the mantle, did you see?"
C: "Mom, that's not even Halloween"
E: "I put a pumpkin on the dining table?"
C: "Mom, it's got to be spooky or a little bit scary to be Halloween"
E: "Oh"
C: "Like a jack'o'lantern with crooked teeth. Sheesh, I can do that"

Fast forward a couple hours.

Mommy has a beer AND places an online Target order.

Tuesday, October 1, 2019
I have a love/hate relationship with Costco but I applaud the convenience of Halloween in September because we found the girls costumes there.

Enter Tinker Bell and Wonder Woman!
