Fall Festivities

This year has been a lot more festive around our house. It's nice because last year, I would wait until after every holiday and then buy/make decorations that were super cheap from the previous holiday. So this year it was really great to just take this wreath out of the closet and not even touch the budget, instead of sit with the hot glue gun for a few hours debating where the berries should go. You know how it goes :)
Anyway, it's just nice that it feels like Autumn! We are enjoying it while it lasts!

Some friends in the ward has us over to carve pumpkins with them. I was so embarrassed when we showed up on the doorstep, and Scott had is saw and drill in hand. They didn't know Scott super well before that night, so I was afraid it would be quite a shock, but they took it well, and Scott carved a cool pumpkin, very quickly :)

The finished products, Scott's on the left and mine on the right. Thank you Pinterest for the good idea. Turns out the chevron pattern looks really great on pumpkins.

Today's highlight: Asking my landlord about painting the nursery and hearing her response "I'll be the first one there to help you! What color?!?!"

Today's lowlight: Throwing up in the produce section of the grocery store. I have quite the collection of stories these days...

Love both pumpkins! So sorry about the sickness. Remember, it will come to an end. And a good end - with a baby as the reward!

Those are impessive pumpkins. Also congrats on your baby news that is so exciting.

You ought to consider dedicating a blog to "throw up" stories. Try throwing up in the most inappropriate place (while you still have an excuse.)
