Pumpkin carving




Happy day before Halloween! Paul and I carved pumpkins together for the first time in our married life... they turned out pretty sweet if you ask me! And no, no templates in our house... pure creativity and heart and soul into our pumpkins! Probably don't need to say, but the snake is Paul's and the "R" is mine.
Oh... and I learned that my Mom really, really must have loved us kids. It never failed that we got roasted pumpkin seeds when we carved pumpkins... it's a PAIN to seperate those slippery devils out from the guts! Love you mom!!!

Our life for the past 4 months or so....

So, my sister, yes the one who made me post pictures of my house, says that she's bored of looking at my living room. So here's more stuff... and NO she's NOT the boss of me!!!!

So, let's see. P.S. this is our life according to our camera... and as we all know I don't take pictures very often so it's rather sporadic.

We went to Carthage finally..



Then my mom came to visit. We went to Milwaukee on a whim to watch a baseball game. Turns out the team I was rooting for won... and I didn't even realize it. I'm a HUGE baseball fan... obviously... not. But Paul was in heaven, it was his happy place; a Giants baseball game.



On the same trip we went to

We did a double decker bus tour. TOTALLY worth the money!!! Definitely the way to see the most Chicago in the amount of time we had.
This is for my nieces, Grace and Ella, who LOVE American Girls, a WHOLE store devoted to them... heaven!

Lots of skyscrapers... cool town I tell ya!

We did the cool Iowa thing, which means we went to the Field of Dreams.


Other than that, we've just been working on the house. The kitchen is my current project. And it is riddled with problems. But what's a renovation without problems?! Here's 2 of them...

That's a countertop... look closely at the edge and you'll see white dots from them sanding the edge down (couldn't be avoided... Rrrriiiight!) I fixed it, don't worry!

This is a cabinet door... lovely eh? Don't worry yet again, they're fixing it for me! It'll be beautiful when it's all done. No pictures till it's done. So be patient my friends!

Paul has been in school. No pictures of that, sorry. He turned another year older. No pictures of that, sorry. We both got sick. No picture of that, lucky you.

The end. :)
