Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos divide and conquer when it comes to maintaining their home.
During the Wednesday, October 29, episode of Live With Kelly and Mark, the married co-hosts were discussing the topic of fall decorations when Ripa realized Consuelos didn't seem to appreciate the aesthetic touches she adds to their New York City townhouse for Halloween and Thanksgiving.
"We never really did a big Thanksgiving thing," Consuelos claimed, clarifying he mainly meant "outside the house" — though Ripa was quick to disagree.

Kelly Ripa said Mark Consuelos never 'noticed' her Thanksgiving decorations.
Admitting she's "done no decorating" this year because there is "a lot of construction" going on at the house next door, Ripa explained: "Usually I have big pumpkins that I leave out front."
"Thank you for checking in. It's as if you don't live in the house where you live," she added, teasing her husband of nearly 30 years.
Ripa continued, "But what I will do is take down Halloween [decorations] and I leave the big pumpkins for Thanksgiving."

Mark Consuelos joked fixing things around the house is his 'department.'
"See here's the thing — you know how certain things you push and they just work in the house? That's my department. I don't tell you about the little things [like] what's wrong with the air conditioning unit. I just take care of it. And you do the decorations."
Ripa didn't let the light-hearted argument stop there, as she replied: "Right, but having said that, [there is] the light that flickers in our bathroom all the time for like eight years."

Consuelos wasn't finished with his comedic commentary, as he quipped, "You noticed that? I just thought you liked it as mood lighting."
"I noticed it and it's fine and I don't complain about it, so you can't complain about the pumpkin on the front steps," she declared. "It's all fair here. Everything's fair."
