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.

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?

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.
