Last night for FHE we went doorbell ditching.
Yes, we left goodies and love notes.
But mostly, we just wanted an excuse to ding-dong-dash.
Because that's good fun. Yes siree.
The kiddos love it.
They pretend they are sneaky spies.
Have I mentioned that we currently live in a 3rd story, 1100 sq ft, unfurnished apartment?
It's awesome.
I could go on and on (and on and on) about the woes of such living arrangements for a family of 6 plus a 65-lb dog.
But instead let's focus on the positive:
- It takes us a total of 1 hr and 15 min to clean this place from top to bottom
- There is a swimming pool & hot tub across the street.
- The apartment below us is rented, but no one currently lives there...(a huge blessing considering the amount of noise we generate each day. Think 4 screaming kids and 1 dog running up and down the hallway all day long.)
- We have this view:
Summer
Downtown through the trees
3 stories up 
Autumn 
Winter
This morningPretty pretty right? It's hard to imagine that we have lived here long enough to see 3 seasons worth of views.
Here's to hoping that we will be in our newly-remodeled home by the time the 4th season comes along!
P.S.
Check out Tess' art. She's really getting good!
Someday I plan to have only original artwork by Tess Meeker hanging in my home.
Anyone want to place an advance order?

Wow, Tess's art really is good. I especially like the elephant picture.
K, that portrait of her is quite amazing. It will be so nice to have an artist in the family.
I loved seeing your apartment! And, if you guys want to door bell ditch me anytime feel free (leaving goodies would be nice as well).
Can we order one of those delicious gingerbread houses?
You're a fabulous mom to paint, make gingerbread houses, take pictures. I mean . . . wow. Hope you're enjoying all those cute kids and the holiday season. Your card was BEAUTIFUL!
Hey! It's fun to see/hear from you again. I'll take a 'Tess Meeker' please...and I can't wait to see the new house. Have a great Christmas!
