October

Well, it's been awhile since my last post, so I thought I'd give an update on a few things. We've mostly been trying to make improvements on our house lately. We finally had the repairman come to fix our microwave (it didn't work, period). And one of our burners is being funny on our stove, that is still being fixed, but at least it's being worked on. (A word of advice, get an inspection on your home, even if it has a warranty). Lastly, we finally painted the trim and doors in our kitchen, they used to be brown, and against the yellow walls, it wasn't that appealing. So here is a picture of the final product:Now I'm not known for being very festive, especially when it comes to Halloween. We have done some fun things though this year like participating in a Murder Mystery with our friends and going to other parties. James wanted to carve pumpkins. Some years I get creative and use a template or do something other than a face, but after contemplating forever what to do and with James done with his (finished in two minutes), he suggested I make a girl pumpkin, since his was a boy. I changed my mind mid-through on how I was doing it, and couldn't start over, so I had to improvise, so don't laugh. But here are our creations!
I also attempted to roast pumpkin seeds. That didn't turn out very well, does anyone know the secret?
