Happy Halloween Everyone!!!!

.

After a busy week at work and school, we finally were able to get around to carving our pumpkins and pose for some pictures with our glowing creations :)

.

.

My jack-o-lantern was inspired from an idea that I saw in a Better Homes and Gardens magazine last year and I put it on the back burner until this year. I thought that their ideas were a lot cuter but this is what I could come up with. And I felt like I had saved some sad lopsided pumpkin from inevitable pie making or being thrown in a dumpster on November 1st. So you are welcome little lopsided and sad looking pumpkin :)

Here is Matt's Jack-o-lantern is an ode to the rag-tag bunch of Giants who are playing on Halloween night :) Can you guess what we are doing right now as Trick-or-Treaters come to our door every 5 minutes? :)

This is for Liz. She always had the cutest decorations for fall and Halloween and so I had to document my attempt at good decor.

Happy Halloween to all of our Family and Friends all over the country and the world!

So, with Baseball coming to an end and the Giants in the Super Bowl,

I mean World Cup....

no thats not right.... :)

.

With the Giants in the World Series and all, Matt and I have been watching baseball almost every night. Which is not too bad... I am actually becoming a bigger Giants fan with every game that comes and goes.

.

While the Giants were in the NLDS (National League Division Series), my brother-in-law, Jon, was not able to watch all of the games as they were not covered on the East Coast. So with a little ingenuity, Matt rigged up a platform to prop up his computer at TV level (which is above the fireplace mantel) and called Jon on Skype so that he could watch the game with us!

.

What brothers wont do for one another....

.

Needless to say, there was a lot of talking about the stats of the players, yelling at the TV, and very little sitting down (on Matt's part). I think Jon appreciated being able to watch the game with his brother and save himself the 10 cents that it costs each of the 80 times that they would usually text one another during a game:)

GO GIANTS!!!!
