Valley of Fear

Last Wednesday, I grabbed Eli, Noah and Vicky and headed to the Valley of Fear haunted hayride to meet the 6th grade class.  

Spooky!
Eli with his buds.  
The 6th graders were ready to go!
It was a mob scene there.  
Scary!
We weren't allowed to take pics on the hayride.  It's really done well.  Lots of scary moments.  
What decisions in my life brought me to this moment?  
Then we did a haunted house.  
Then it was smores time!

The kids had fun.  It was a bit too much for me.  
Last Thursday at work.
Then Eli had a golf lesson.  
It was the last one for now.  Will have to sign him up for more.  
Aden sent this picture of a random peacock in Miami.  

 

Dormers

Last Tuesday, the roofers had to come back to fix up the fake dormers on the roof.  Why do we have fake dormers?  I don't know.  It was the same price to remove them or to fix them.
The materials were dropped off early.  
Me at work.  
The gym later.  
Amy in the kitchen.  Not sure about that expression.  
Guitar time.  
I drove Ariel and her friends somewhere.  I know, this was a boring post.  You still have Halloween to look forward to!

New Roof!

Last Monday, we walked the kids to school.  
Then the guys came to replace our roof!
Here they go!  The roof was original 1999.  It was in decent shape but we got a little leak in our family room so decided to was time.

New skylights too.  They have blinds built in which is cool.  Then we can close them to watch tv when the sun is out.  
They had to replace some boards.
There's the leak!


What a mess!

They worked fast.

Nothing like a caramel and chocolate apple before bed.

Lorenzo's Pizza

Last weekend I didn't take that many pics.  Ariel was finally getting better.  This is walking through the University of Pennsylvania's campus.  


Pretty night.  
Eva and Gwen had Trunk or Treat that night.  

Last Sunday, I picked up some great food on South Street in Philly.  First we got Amy's favorite Greek food.  
Then we got Lorenzo's Pizza.  I introduced it to Ariel now she craves it.  
Yum!
The college football rankings came out and Miami is #1!
Eli made himself french toast.  

After the french toast, he ate the leftover Lorenzo's pizza.  This was half a slice!  They are huge!
Some late night Tiktoks.
