hey all!
the weather is finally turning a BIG corner in most of the midwest and along the east coast this week. Gorgeous fall weather in St. Louis today, upper 50's and rolling cloudy skies. I might be going on a nice fall hike after work today to enjoy it.

last night was our adult Halloween party at a friend's house on a big farm in the middle of nowhere (made the bonfire on a chilly night kinda creepy!), today we're taking the kids to "Halloween Nights" at a local family fun place, Grant's Farm. Keeping the Halloween fun going all weekend....

this weekend was the first truly fall-like weekend around here in STL, we spent a completely perfect afternoon with the boys at one of the local pumpkin patch fall festivals - it was overcast and about 55 degrees, with a chilly breeze blowing around while the boys played in the hay maze forts and &q...

to update the topic, its finally FALL-LIKE GORGEOUS here in St. Louis. I enjoyed some coffee this morning outside on the porch to a brisk wind and FIFTY EIGHT degrees. AAHHHHH......

that sounds amazing right now! Supposedly we're going to be in that weather pattern within a week to 10 days, perfect timing for breaking out the decor, but I'm crossing my fingers after this summer of hot blech.

oh, that's for sure us right now, too. The high today is supposed to be 92 and humid (*insert gagging sounds*). But the forecast for next Saturday night has some gorgeous temperatures, perfect for an early firepit night.

Ha! apparently, when the "marriage" ended, I was able to quickly log back in with my "real" account! Yay! also, its going to be low-50's at night here in St. Louis in a week! and I've seen FIVE locals already decorating their yards in the past week!! I love Halloween!! and exclam...

do you mean simply having glow-in-the-dark paint dots on the walls? For something non-angular (for angular the best is just using green "frog" tape) its best to create a stencil and paint/spray away. Size and number of dots are going to determine just how long of a process it is

hello all, its time for a once-a-year-check in (while I've been a faithful lurker for over a decade now, wow!) I was motivated to check in today due to our weather in STL - cloudy, chilly, occasional light rain; makes me think less of spring and more of fall. That must mean that its time for me to s...

I have different favorite memories for different times in my life (fyi, I'm 37). - from childhood, its growing up as an elementary school kid of the '80's and the great trick r treating nights of that awesome decade - jack 'o lanterns on every patio (but not a lot of other store-bought decorations!...

Does "5 Guys" count as "fast food"? if so, that's the best fast food burger and its not even close. for a sandwich shop, I'm in a deep love affair with Firehouse Subs. For traditional fast food, sometimes a good Taco Bell regular beef taco is perfect. When it comes to breakfast, ...

hey everyone, 10 year long lurker and occasional poster here. Its now mid-June, which is JUST about when I start getting the start of the itch (I know, i know, they make meds for that), so checking back in for the first time in a few months. I'm already scouring summer sales on Halloween online stor...

We usually fantasize about the same thing, but this year for our 10th anniversary I'm taking my wife down to the Dominican Republic for 4 days in the sun & sand! By the time I get back, I'll probably have had all of the heat & humidity I want for the year

we're up to the mid-70's here in St. Louis. This is officially the time of year that I LOVE the warmth & sunshine and emerging green everything. It'll stay that way until sometime in late July - at that point, I'll begin longing for cool fall weather and jack 'o lanterns

I read your reply this morning while bundled up from the 40 degree temps around here. Even for early October in the midwest, this is cold. Yesterday took the 2 year old to a local corn maze & hayride, it was 50 degrees, sunny & breezy, smelled like Halloween. perfection.
