A new post...get off my back!

Ok, so I know I haven't been the best at keeping up with this blog, but I just can't seem to get into it lately. But since it's already half way through October and my second favorite holiday is in full-bloom, I thought I would join the cool kids again with a new post.
Halloween is the best! if you ask me. I always drag David to all the festivities including the Haunted Forest, the Corn maze, carving pumpkins, renting one scary movie after the other, finding the perfect costume, making pumpkin cheesecake (and oh boy was it delicious!), and enjoying the 13 days of Halloween on ABC Family. I just loved everything Halloween. I love getting candy for the potential kids that will come by our apartment...but since NO ONE ever comes, we just get to eat all the Reeses sticks by ourselves, but have an excuse to buy it. I love having activities and dates planned out for you and all you have to do is show up (and of course spend money)! I love peppermint icecream being available once again in the stores. I love all the colors of the trees. I love driving up the canyon and seeing the beauty, without snow (cross your fingers). I love pumpkin everything and busting out the CocoMotion machine. I love that Halloween is more than half way through the semester and just around the bend is CHRISTMAS (the only holiday that outdoes Halloween). I just love it.
Here are some pics of what David and I have been up to for this Halloween (thus far!):

Fina-frickin-lly! Thanks for posting. (Although the whole point was sort of that you were supposed to do it while Nathan was out of town, since I was stuck at home with nothing else to pass the time...) But whatever, better late than never.

Looks like you guys have had tons of fun things going on. I love this time of year, too. And I LOVE Cornbelly's! How was it this year? I'm planning to take Kate sometime but haven't been able to since she was sick. I doubt there's a whole lot that she'll really appreciate, but I'm sure I'll have fun and of course, if I'm up there ANYWAY, I might just have to swing by the deli for some lunch and a shake...if I'm there ANYWAY...

By the way, I don't think we'll be able to make bowling work. I've been racking my brain but I just can't think of anyone I'd feel comfortable asking to babysit on Halloween night, since people pretty much all have their own plans, and Kate would be a disaster if we tried to keep her out that late. :( I'll let you know if we can swing something, though.

Cornbelly's was really really fun. I was surprised how much stuff they have there to do...to be honest the corn maze was my least favorite part. haha It's kinda pricey (aka A RIPOFF) fyi though. I still recommend it though. Kate would love it.
I'm so freakin depressed about Halloween. I knew that it would probably be tricky for you guys to find someone that night but I just really wanted you to come. (Did you ask Keven and Audrey??) It's okay though, maybe someother time. I hope you guys have fun doing whatever you have planned.

How's your computer? :(

Ah, you make me miss Halloween in Utah. There's so many scary activities! Nothing scary to do around here.

I love Reeses sticks and peppermint ice cream too--with chocolate sauce on top. Are you staying in Utah for Christmas?

Sara-
I know it is fun out here! David and I are actually going out to California for Christmas this year because his dad's big 50th bday is the day after Christmas and we stayed here last year=lame. It should be fun. I hope you have a fun Alabama home-cookin' Christmas. :)
