Halloween Cookies

I am having a Halloween party at my work and I made the best treat. I thought they could have turned out better, but I still think that they look pretty good. Sorry that the pictures aren't better. My Camera wouldn't focus on them very well.

What do you think?

Carvin' Pumpkins

Today we got together with one of Zach's friends (Erik) and his girlfriend (Sara) and carved pumpkins. Can you believe that Sara has never carved a pumpkin in her life? Crazy, I know. It was kinda fun being like a kid again and just having fun with the pumpkins and the gooey guys :)

In order from left to right, Erik and Sara's, Zach's, and my pumpkin. Erik didn't carve his own pumpkin because when he cut his lid off his pumpkin was filled with water. He drained it out and it smelt soooo bad. I have never heard of a pumpkin being rotten from the inside like that. It looked perfectly good on the outside. It was really gross. He almost threw up in the pumpkin.

Our pumpkins in the dark. Sorry for the blurry picture. It is not that easy to take a picture in complete darkness.

I FINISHED IT!!!!

I just finished the best book series that I have read. I read all 4 books in about 3 1/2 months-ish, and if anyone knows me, this is a feat. I had a few breaks in there when I read slower because I didn't want it to end, but then I just couldn't put them down. I won't say too much because I know that some people that read my blog haven't read it at all (in which case, I highly recommend that you do. You won't be dissapointed) and some haven't finished it, so I don't want to spoil anything. I loved it and recommend it to anyone. When my sister first suggested it to me, she said that it is a book about vampires and that she didn't think she would like it either, but there is so much more in it than vampires. I would totally have to agree with her. I didn't think I would like it at first either. It actually took me quite a few months to actually read it after I bought it, and now I wish I would have just started it then. If you want to start reading them, they are worth the money and if you are still reading, don't stop (like you will be able to anyway), there the best. I can wait for the movie to come out Nov. 21, and yes, I am going to be one of the crazies at the midnight showing with the "I love Edward" shirts on. I can't wait :)

Squash Season!

PATHETIC POST ALERT!

It's squash season!!!

I just posted this for the entirely sad fact that I like the face that I drew on our banana squash. That, and the fact that Dawni hasn't updated this in about a week, and it feels like everyone blogs more than us. (Guess that happens when you don't have kids yet...) Yes, our lives are so boring with college and work right now that this is the highlight of the week. At least I'll be done with college in ~2 months and we can move on with our lives to (hopefully) more interesting things.

If anyone has EXTRA squash, I would love to eat it for you. ^_- It, along with Halloween and Thanksgiving, are about all of the highlights of Fall for me. (I like green leaves and warm temperatures; I am very much a spring/summer type of person. Fall just is when everything starts to shut down or die around us, in my opinion. Spring is about new life and summer is about enjoying it!) ^_^
