the patch.

this week Davey and i went to the pumpkin patch. i look forward to it every October. we ended up taking our pickings home and carving them into Star Wars creations. well, Dave did. i gave up. R2D2 is hard! we sipped on gin & cider, watched bad scary movies on tv and enjoyed our evening together. it's part of why i love Halloween so much.

since i didn't take our camera with us, i just captured the evening on my iPhone.

we're goofballs.

i hope you all are having a wonderfully spooky season as well.

tunes tuesday.

i like spooky, creepy things. and i love halloween. i love the camp, the fun, the costumes, the excitement of the fear, and as Kensington (shout out to Rachel) would say, i love the fog.

the patch

This week David and I went to a local pumpkin patch. 

We later carved our pumpkins (mine's not finished yet) and watched Charlie Brown.

We also drank spiked hot apple cider and watched a scary movie.

My favorite season has finally arrived.

Have you gone to a pumpkin patch yet this season?

Weddings & Halloween

This weekend was a combination of relaxation, craziness, hilarity and exhaustion. 

On Friday Dave and I (as well as some of our friends) drove to Palm Springs for the wedding of our two friends, Kyle and Jaymee. We stayed at The Viceroy, which was way adorable and really pretty, and which also held the wedding ceremony and reception on Saturday. We could literally sit on our little porch and watch the ceremony if we wanted to. We didn't, of course.

On Sunday we checked out of the hotel and, along with Phil, Greg, Joe and Carling, we drove to the outlet mall, had some lunch and did some shopping until I quite literally dropped. I was completely drained and fell asleep on the way home and woke up right as we pulled into our garage. 

We then sat in front of the TV for who knows how long and got our last minute costumes assembled to head over to Erin and Phil's for Erin's birthday party/passing out candy/telling ghost stories by the fire.

I am still SO TIRED. I actually think I might go to bed right after I publish this post.

Unfortunately there are just way too many photos to post right now (and I've been a little heavy with the picture posts as of late) so I will just leave you with these few gems for now.

I hope you all had a safe and happy Halloween <3

the patch

The October right before David and I started dating, our friend Nicole, myself and Dave went to the Pumpkin Patch in Long Beach for some pumpkins to carve. After we picked them out and went back to my house we cleaned 'em up and baked the seeds... which ended up becoming burnt. Later the three of us carved our pumpkins and watched Halloween.

That night will always be one of my first memories of Dave and I that I look back on and laugh at. It was a pretty hilarious and fun night.

Here is some evidence:

How appropriate is the title of that second video? If we only knew...

Last night Dave and I went back to the pumpkin patch, got our pumpkins, went home, carved our pumpkins and watch The Nightmare Before Christmas and Charlie Brown's Halloween special.

Dave and I talked about how fun it'll be to take our little kids to the same pumpkin patch, let them pet the goats and how fun it'll be to tease them by saying they can't ride any rides, but let them ride them anyway. We had such a great night and I'm hoping we'll continue this Halloween tradition.
