A Ton of CANDIDS of the food, fun and games...the kids had a good time decorating festive sugar cookies and of course the traditional bobbing for apples!

It was a typical COLD Fall evening outside but that didn't stop the kids from having fun and dunking head first into the bucket of apples.

Spencer did some trading to get himself a whole hand of spook fingers, SCARY!

A SUPER FUN EVENING in our little neighborhood donut hole!

OPEN HOUSE was today for our second flip on Bristol in Tacoma near Point Definace. It was a smaller scale flip which went together far faster than the first big onr but it was still a big chore that kept Matt and the workers as busy as bees. Here's the finished KITCHEN.

The end result was a far cry from the Kitchen BEFORE!

Downstairs: kitchen, nook, family room and two bed rooms w/ bath also a unfinished basement on the lower level for plenty of storage.

Jack and Jill bath downstairs.

Added the french doors to the left in the kitchen, then a pantry and a window (where the former sliding door was) in the kitchen.

FINISHED UPSTAIRS, the master suite, sitting/play area with view of the Port of Tacoma then added a master bath and laundry room took out mini kitchenette.
