McComb Family

Being as tomorrow is Halloween, I've been busy since I got home today. I need to bring treats in for Adam's party tomorrow, so we signed up for brownies. These are just "crawling" with Halloween fun!!Even more fun than that though, will be the treat I made for work tomorrow. I hope it's gross enough for my co-workers!! : ) Damn cats!!!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Halloween. I'll post more pics after the festivities tomorrow. Fun, fun!

For those of you following the hunting saga, here's the latest.......

Bret and Brian (a.k.a. Bret's Hunting Accomplice) wanted to head back to the property immediately to look for those bucks again. They decided to wait until the next night though, so Brian brought all his gear over the next day, and they headed off to the property ready for a kill. They got home a while after dark - empty handed. No such luck that all three bucks were tucked into their beds waiting for them again.

So, the next day (yesterday) Bret has to head to Arizona for a job. Brian still has the "bug" and calls Bret in Arizona to see if it's okay for him to head over there and hunt without Bret. Bret, of course, says sure. So Brian packs up his entire family, his brother, his brother's wife, and their baby to go on a hunting expedition.

They get there and wander around for about half an hour to no avail. They all load up to leave, start driving out the driveway, and there in front of the house is one of the bucks. Before Brian can do anything, his brother hopped out of the truck, grabbed the gun, and shot it. So, I'm told I WILL be trying venison soon. We'll see about that! : ) Bret is now booked on a red eye home tonight, rather than tomorrow like originally planned, so he can get in on the action! Brian has no idea what kind of monster he's created!!!

Hmmmm......maybe that could be a marketing strategy to sell the house. "Hunting Chalet" sounds like it should fetch a pretty penny.

Last night we had friends over for dinner, and we decided to go check out the other house so I finally got to see the flooring!! I really like it -- it looked great!! In fact, we might rip out some carpet over here and put some more of that flooring down!! : ) Here are a couple pictures of it to give you an idea of what it looks like. Of course, it's still a construction zone over there, so it's pretty dusty. It'll look even better when he gets everything cleaned up!
On a random side note.....When we pulled into the driveway over there last night, a big buck walked out from behind the house, looked over at us, and then continued walking away. Our friend, an avid hunter, was speechless!! Then....a second one follows shortly behind and does the same thing. And then, I kid you not, a THIRD one (the biggest of all) comes out. By this time, I think our friend wet himself and had to pick his jaw up off the ground. He was floored and definitely wanting his hunting gear. So, needless to say, guess where Bret is at this very moment. Yep, they're over there trying to score a buck! OMG! I'll let you know when the deer jerky is ready!

Halloween must be around the corner, because the other night we got home, came inside, and heard some noises. Whooooooo whooooooooo!! We looked around, thought we might need to call Ghostbusters, but finally found Adam under the cushions of the couch making those noises, whew....close call!!!

Then we spotted a witch. She looks pretty friendly, but you can never be sure. She's liable to take your leg off or turn you into a frog for all we know.
