Mav and I had a blast at the pumpkin carving party! Mav of course had to have the biggest pumpkin he could find at the farmer's market! He bought it regardless of my promise that I WASN'T going to help him scrape it out! We all carved pumpkins and then took them outside to see what they looked like in the dark with candles. We had a lot of pumpkins out there and they all looked so cool!! I tried to get a few good pictures of them in dark with my awesome camera and in the process learned that I really needed to buy a tripod. (hint hint Mav!)
So we had a few different things going on tonight...Mav decided to work on hanging up our new ceiling fans and replacing the horrible brass/gold spotlight above our fireplace. The new fans are way more our style and the track light is 100% better than what was there. Now, I just need to figure out how I am going to decorate my now in-the-spotlight mantel...
Tomorrow night Mav and I are headed to a pumpkin carving party!!! I decided to bring Halloween sugar cookies. I didn't have a whole lot of time to do any fancy decorating but they were fun to make and they tasted so good!
Yes, I KNOW, we actually bought Halloween clothes for our dogs...I couldn't resist! I saw these puppy hoodies at Pamida and they were even on sale! Grover and Duncan didn't seem to mind wearing them so they are going to be all dressed up for Halloween this year! :)
Mav and I completed our profile pages last night! We are really happy with how they turned out! We hope that we accomplished our goal of representing our lives together and that it told the story of all the things we enjoy and value together. I took them to be printed at Staples last night and then my mom will hand deliver the copies to Julie today! We are both ecstatic to finally have our profile/life snapshot available to birthparents out there looking to make an adoption plan. Let the excitement/waiting :) begin...
