Pumpkins

We carved our pumpkins for Halloween last night. It was a lot of fun, but a lot of work! Obviously we used templates for the pumpkins, but I think they turned out pretty good. In the picture, from left to right we have Zack's pumpkin, Jared's, then mine. Jared was kind enough to do both his and Zack's, since mine ended up taking about double the time to carve... or maybe I am just slow!!!

Something new to try...

OK, so I have had more time on my hands since not going to work anymore, but have a lot less time since Zack is home now! So with my "extra" time, I have decided to try something new. I have created a new blog, yes, another blog. It will conveniently be called "Recipe of the Week". I will post a new recipe once a week, with a "review" from what I thought of it. I would love to have everyone who wants to try the recipe, also give a review. Also, if you have a recipe for me to try, it could be anything from a drink, to dessert, to side dish, to holiday recipe, etc., please post it so there is more interaction!!
I enjoy cooking, so I thought this would be a fun way to expand my knowledge and try something new. If you have any suggestions, I am all ears!!

Craft projects

Now that I am a stay at home mom (that sounds so weird!!), I want some ideas on fun craft projects, or even other things I could make/do, so I feel productive and have something new and fun to do!! I always love to see peoples homes around any holiday because there are such cute decorations out there... so maybe if someone has ideas even in that direction...
Anyway if you have any ideas, or if you yourself do something that's fun and you want to share (pictures are great too), I would love to hear about it!!

Happy Birthday to me!

Tuesday was my birthday and I had lots of fun!! Jared made me breakfast in the morning and gave me presents from him and from Zack :> AND, he did a fantastic job this year!! I also had lots of visitors come by and also call me, so that was really nice too. That night, my mom and sister came to my house and watched Zack while Jared and I went to dinner. Then we came back and had cake. It was a wonderful birthday, so thanks everyone for making it such a great day!!
