LAZY DAYS

These past 3 days have been incredibly cold and rainy, SO, since Mark is off of school (he has a catch-up week), we get to just hang about the house, studying, laundrying, laughing, eating, baking, putting up our new amazing IKEA shelves- pictures to come and THANKS again, Ma and Pa, reading, and just enjoying being at home together. Not too exciting, but I thought you could at least see a few pictures of our home life.

Last night we watched a few episodes of the Vampire Diaries (don't tell Mark I told you, but we are really hooked at the moment), ate PAPA JOHN'S (WHAT? Who knew they existed here? DELICIOUS!), and really enjoyed our fall-smelling candles and pumpkins.

PUMPKIN CARVING

This past weekend, we had a few friends (Dan, Anna, Julian and Mary) over for dinner and pumpkin carving- one of my favorite October activities (3rd only to celebrating the Mirs b-day and eating lots of chocolate candy). I wish I had taken pictures from that night, so that you could see the work in progress, but here are our creations surrounded by our backyard, which has become so Fally!
