Five Simple Things (November 17)

Hello.

Here are five things this week.

1. This display.

We love Stranger Things in our house and this Halloween display was in our city. Of course, we knew exactly what it was - whoever made this did a great job recreating Max listening to Kate Bush as Vecna tried to possesses her.

2. This moment.

Skylar had his bottom wisdom teeth cut out this week. I was on the fence on whether to take any pictures or take any videos of him after the procedure, but he told us beforehand that he wanted to see himself and what he says. Apparently, a lot of people talk nonsense and babble on about how tiny things upset them. Well, needless to say, Skylar was upset that he didn't have a stack of papers and a bucket of pens to write down notes. He then started talking about his horse "Blacky" and he was going to make him a millionaire. It was funny, but I couldn't help but feel sorry for him for the pain he was in.

Once we were home I set him up in his own area downstairs and let him sleep. He slept most of the first day and then watched movies and cuddled with Hardy.

3. This doggy.

He has been a trooper this week and we love the way he loves us.

4. This muffin.

I made homemade blueberry muffins this week and they were delicious. This last one was all that was left after everyone grabbing one on the go. We all have been slowly picking away at it, but I finally ate it and savored the moment.

5. This window.

I love the way the sun comes through this window in the morning. We have rearranged rooms in this house and this room is now a study/office space. When I go into the room to start my day, it's nice to have some sunshine beaming through while I work.

One more thing: (trigger warning)

This bad boy was in our bathroom this week and it is the biggest house spider I have ever seen inside. I grew up in the country in the south and tarantulas are everywhere there, but they never were inside our house. This one scared me because it was sitting on the edge of the sink about ready to jump. I'm not afraid of spiders, but he did give me a startle. Skylar quickly scooped him up and set him free.
