the weekend.

 

the utah game with my boyfriend & his family. (hooray for a pac 12 win!!!)

 

my silly cat, who loves to stick her head through the blinds to people watch.

 

hung out with the family on sunday for my sister-in-law's birthday.

here's my sister casie painting my niece's nails for halloween :)

 

lots & LOTS of studying (& black tea lemonade.)

it's getting to be that time of the semester....ugh.

spent my halloween night trick or treating with this scary skeleton & this super cute witch! it was adorable to watch them go from house to house. made me miss being little.

how was your holiday?

 

take two.

so here's how much my boyfriend & i like pumpkin seeds.

okay, mostly my boyfriend. i can't believe how many he can eat in one sitting. luke got these for cheap at his work the other day & carved them all out. he roasted probably a thousand seeds (so yummy). here's how many we have left today.

judge us if you will.

the best part, by the way, is that we have no intention of carving these pumpkins (turns out i really do hate carving pumpkins.) but our friend's mom runs a day care up here in ogden, so we're taking them to her so the kids can have pumpkins to carve :) good deed for the day!

the roaring twenties.

luke & i went to a halloween/birthday party for my good friend scott last weekend. it was so much fun!! luke threw his costume together in minutes (i've had mine for over a year) & we went as a roaring twenties couple. it was SUCH a blast!

the birthday boy! love this kid.

my good friend spencer, who not only makes me laugh until i look asian, but also dressed up as a community college professor. 

so funny!!!

hope everyone's weekend was fantastic! i'm back at my house in ogden...more on the fun at my parent's house soon.

i tried..

i tried to carve a pumpkin last week. luke & i cleaned it out & everything (he wanted to roast pumpkin seeds...and they were SO DELICIOUS!) and it turns out that pumpkin carving is a lot more difficult than we thought.

in fact, this is as far as we got. fail? maybe. but we had delicious roasted pumpkin seeds for a late-night treat, so i was okay with it.

the highlight of my weekend.

the beautiful sunset i enjoyed from kramer's backyard on friday.

seriously, if you didn't see it, you missed out.

it was beautiful.

aside from that i had the lamest halloween to date. but i think that's just because i'm getting old and can't trick or treat anymore, and also because it's really hard to beat last year's halloween.

happy halloween!

[i was a flapper this year]

and i love my costume. love it.

the pumpkin walk.

this morning emily, erick, and i took the kids to the pumpkin walk that is held in north logan every year. it was a lot more fun than i thought it would be, and the kids loved it. they take pumpkins, squash, etc and turn them into characters from movies, tv shoes, and such. 

there was a bunch of these around the park and bryson's favorite was bob the builder.

tweety bird and wile e. coyote. so cute!

bryson standin in front of bugs bunny.

the characters from "up". it's so crazy to think these are all made from pumpkins!

little mini pumpkins shaped to be the beatles. this one was my favorite, of course :]

addison & i pausing to rest & eat a cookie. i love her cute smirk in this pic.

the characters from toy story. 

bryson's favorite was the characters from spongebob. they looked exactly like the cartoons!

mike wazowski from monsters inc.

"where the wild things are". one of my favorite books ever, and apparently bryson likes it too!

the twins loved every minute of it!! it was a bit chilly but i bundled them up and we got hot chocolate after :]

thanks emily and erick for joining us in the fun!! tomorrow bryson goes to preschool so the twins and i will probably take it easy and clean up before their parents get home. the place is kiiiind of a mess.. don't tell anyone. :]
