Thanksgiving

This is what my lovable dog Squeaks did to my first homemade pecan pie.  It was out of the oven for all of two seconds. His poor tongue was swollen, nose a little pinker, but he seemed to enjoy it.  I on the other hand wanted to cry. 

Thanksgiving was nice.  I had my mom at the in-laws who were all too happy to have all of their grandchildren in one place (they gained two in a matter of months.) I'm pretty thankful to have my mom and my in-laws helping out so much.

Here's his office before- our former bedroom a lilac color.

This week has been spent with my father in-law painting our stairwell from robins egg blue to a light brown stone color.  I will post pictures of the final products.  I'm in the process for right after Christmas painting the dining room and living room.  Right now it's all gray, but I'm changing things to taupe and the decor is going more antique/steampunk with our more modern items moving to the basement family room once we are done.  It's slow going.
