I’ve gone into Halloween Party Mode lately.  We’re having people over next weekend since Halloween is my Favorite Holiday Ever (costumes, candy, pumpkin carving… what’s not to love?).  Matt’s still been in productive mode adding attic supports and insulation.

• Hardware store trips: 1
• Rolls of insulation crammed into a compact hatchback: 5
• Craft store trips: 1
• Pounds of Holiday crap bought: 5*
• Party menus planned: 1
• Grocery trips: 2
• Costumes sewn: 2
• Felt hearts cut: 24
• Feet of lights strung: 24
• Faucets replaced: 1
• Swear words while replacing said faucet: lost count**
• Girly(ish) mirrors added to bathroom: 1
• Cats pissed we’re not leaving the door to the porch open: 2

This is literally 1/2 of the downstairs micro-bath (with new mirror and faucet!).  You can sit on the toilet and wash your hands at the same time.  It’s still really nice having a second bathroom.

*Just an estimate.  Joann had Halloween stuff at 70% off so I stocked up on candy corn colored lights, LED tea lights, table cloths, foliage, and plates. The only problem was that the tablecloth I bought wasn’t actually labeled and ended up being round instead of rectangular.  Oops.  I’m just going to make it work though. And we stocked up on Halloween candy since we have no clue how many kids we’ll get trick-or-treating

**We replaced the faucet in the micro-bath and there’s barely no space between the sink and the toilet so it’s really awkward to access anything under the sink.. It was also the first replacing a faucet with a drain stopper too.
