Trunk or Treat

Marcia's real estate had trunk or treat tonight. Hannah dressed up but just helped Grandma. Haydn actually walked around getting candy then helped Grandma. It was cold and windy tonight. It was fun, minus the wind!
 
 
 
 Haydn was having fun, I guess her serious look!

new siding

We had our house resided last week. It all stemmed from our half moon window in our master bedroom. When it rained really hard, it would leak through the half moon window. So instead of band-aiding the problem, $2000. here $2000 there we decided to bite the bullet and reside the whole house. I really LOVE the trim around the windows the most. The white makes the house pop! Hopefully we will notice a big change next summer with the half moon window gone. 1). our bedroom faces the west, the west sun it brutal in the summer. 2). the new window is more energy efficient. The new color of siding in slate grey. We really love they new siding!

 see the missing house wrap?  Yes, there was missing house wrap in different spots on the house. Well that should help with our heating/cooling bill! They took off all the old and replaced new wrap on the WHOLE house!
