What's Happening (11-03-19)... Better Late Than Never!

So I'm doing things a tad bit differently this year and will be combining all of my regular weekend posts.  This will enable me to add more content on Fridays and it is just starting to make more sense.  I'll still be linking up with Stacking the Shelves at Tynga's Reviews and Sunday Post at Caffeinated Reviewer.  Both blogs are awesome so make sure you check them out.  

So I'm a tad late this week but wanted to get a post up.  I told several people I'd share some Halloween decorations and to be honest, I felt weird holding off a week.  

Friday Mr. Barb had to go to the ER from work.  He was having chest pains and had been all night.  Now we didn't believe they were a major concern because they weren't really in his chest area.  However, better safe than sorry and when they didn't let up, off we went.  Luckily it was just a reaction to a medication he had been prescribed.  I thought meds were supposed to make you feel better.  On top of that, my truck was in the shop getting a new idle arm and it was barely done before the shop was closed (they had a motor go out on one of their lifts).  Glad my truck wasn't the one stuck in the air.

Halloween has come and gone but our decorations will stay up for another week.  I refuse to let it end.  Here are a few of the promised pics. 

 Mr. Barb bought me the astronaut Snoopy this year and he does a Snoopy dance and then the dog plaque which says "I'll do tricks for treats" is new this year as well.

 Mr. Barb surprised me with this creepy doll a few weeks ago.  When you push a button her eyes glw and she says a creepy saying and then her arms move ripping her dolly in half.  The day of the dead dog is one of two I bought this year.

 This is our second mantle.  The boxer on the end is a permanent fixture of any design here.  Mr. Barb's coworker gifted it to him before she moved out of state.  It's an antique.  You can see the Booker T's bar sign in the background I had made for Mr. Mike a few years back.  

 Gotta love small painted pumpkins and they are everywhere around our hose.  The oval doorknocker rings when you push a button and a moving eye appears in the white dome.

 I bought Prince the Beanie Baby Bat last year and he usually sits in the Frankenstein candy holder.  

This is just some of the things we keep adding to each year.

I did actually manage to finish two books this weekend - yay me!  I don't know what I'm going to pick up next but I suspect it's a combination of these three:

And finally, here is Cassius's instagram post this week.  We took this on our Halloween evening walk.  He loves sporting his pumpkins - even if they are upside down!

Hope everyone had a great week!
