mums the word

 

It’s no secret our landscaping is lacking.

A few bushes thrown here and there and a few flowers popping up in the spring… That pretty much wraps it up in a nutshell.

Put it this way: there’s not a soul slowing down to check out the Roberts’ foliage. That’s for danged sure.

But Nick and I did happen to bring home some mums the other day, which I risked my life for by sitting in the cargo area to protect them from falling over and damaging their gorgeous blooms.

{The backseat was full with the purple mums…}

Okay. So the garden center is only a half mile from our house.

This lady doesn’t drive without a seatbelt – thus, it was, life risking.

I love the pop of color they’ve added to our dessert front yard and the little time it took to plant them!

 

 

I didn’t want the neighbors to get too jealous of our now, overly manicured landscaping, so I uglied it up a bit.

Meet my only outdoor Halloween decoration, Mr. Jazzy.

He sort of looks like he’s always saying “Wuzzup?!” to the neighbors, doesn’t he?

 

I’m such an over achiever in the decorating department, I know.

 

What’s scarier than Mr. Jazzy up there?

Nick and I got to ride out a tornado warning in the basement today while watching Paranormal Activity.

Seeing that my nerves are already shot being smack dab in the middle of a 64 hour work week, it wasn’t the smartest decision to make on my one day off.

Can’t wait for the upcoming 3 day weekend of Halloween mischief!

***And once it’s over – is anyone else contemplating throwing up some Christmas decorations in early November??? =) I toying with the idea still…
