Wordless Wednesday...

Not sure about you guys, but I'm ready for bed!

Pumpkin Carving Contest

Well, it's that time again! Kurt and I decided to have our annual pumpkin carving contest at home. Yes, it's only the two of us that participate, and there really isn't a winner, but it's still fun. Kurt started calling it our Pumpkin Carving Contest, and it started sometime late in college. We decided it would be fun to get pumpkins and then try to carve these intricate designs in them that took hours to do...yes, fun to some people. Anyhow, we were at it again this year.
Kurt picked out this mummy to do, which ended up being a pain in the butt, then our small saw broke, so we were having to share one tool, but we survived and despite a few teeth missing on my pumpkin, they turned out alright.
On Saturday, I woke up feeling so awful and Kurt had to work most of the day, so we ended up staying in and watching movies at home Saturday night. We decided that the weather was too nice to stay in all day on Sunday, so the pumpkin carving was a perfect Sunday treat! Now we just have to get our Halloween costumes ready to go in a few weeks! Happy Halloween!!!

Kurt took pictures of our pumpkins in the bathroom with the lights off...he couldn't wait to see what they would look like when they were lit.

Our Kitchen Gets A Facelift!

As many of you know I've been on the lookout for kitchen hardware (knobs) practically since we moved in last November. It's hard to believe that in one month we'll have been in our house for an entire year already. Anyway, we finally found some kitchen knobs that we could both agree on, and Kurt put them on last week. I keep forgetting to take pictures when we do stuff to the house, but I remembered this time! Since we've moved in, Kurt has also installed fans in both of our front rooms, and I repainted an armoire that my brother built just out of high school. We also put knobs in our bathroom, but haven't purchased ones for the front and upstairs bathrooms yet. We're taking baby steps but making some progress. Just thought I'd post some pictures. I took one close up, because the others are kind of hard to see. Kurt measuring before he used the drill...guess that's a good thing!
