Quick Fall Updates

As winter rapidly approaches Brian and I have been getting the house ready. We stocked up on our pellets and wood and sealed up our basement with an insulated door where the bulkhead is to hopefully keep us much more heat efficient this year, especially as we start the project of finishing off the basement.

The pool is officially closed, I painted the shed and Brian also built us a great arbor in the side yard. This will hopefully block off access to the trail behind our house from our neighbors and their snowmobiles this year. I didn’t like that when we first moved in they were using our side yard as their personal highway on-ramp. I hope this will deter them and also it was built so that in the spring we can grow grape vines up it!! I am so excited for that too! He did a really great job it was a big project.

The weekends have also been busy with soccer games for both of the kids and some fun events for Colin’s Cub Scouts which Brian has been very involved in helping out with. Colin is doing really well in soccer. It is actually very exciting and fun to watch. His coach has taught them some great skills. Isabelle is also doing well, but her age group still needs to learn to spread out, listen to their coach, pass and that playing with their hair isn’t as important as paying attention to the game. Still fun to watch though.

I am looking forward to having our first trick 0r treaters to the house this coming weekend. I made the mistake of opening up the bags of candy too early though I hope there will still be some left by the time sunday comes. All in all things are great here. Hope you all have a Happy Halloween.
