Fabulous Fall Date

My husband has been putting up with my extreme giddiness and happiness over the arrival of fall. I love the decorating and the pretty leaves changing colors and the wonderful, slightly cooler temperatures. But along with being giddy, I also get strange urges whenever fall arrives. Suddenly, I have a strong craving for donuts and apple juice (not really sure why). I also have been pestering Brian to take me to pumpkin patches and corn mazes. Also, I start needing to watch my autumn time movies.

On Saturday Brian surprised me with a surprise "Autumn" date, incorporating all of the things I've been wanting to do. He took me to a haunted corn maze. That farm also sold pumpkins, so we chose out the best ones we could find. Then we went home and watched 'Clue' as we carved our pumpkins and ate donuts and apple juice. Our friends, Brandon and Marci, joined us for the last bit. It was so much fun!

We put a tarp out on our white rug since we don't really have a kitchen table! And, yes, that is Barack Obama's head above our tv. Brian bought the mask as part of his halloween costume- and what better place to keep it, right?!

The last part of our night was spent standing outside in the parking lot as we tried to get a perfect picture of our jack-o-lanterns up on our balcony without using the flash. =)
