Food pumpkins and more food

IT's FALL everyone. In case anyone was confused. I LOVE fall. I love pumpkins, I love hot apple cider, I love sitting around a campfire in a hoodie with leaves hitting me on the head as they fall. I love the smell of crisp air. I love how Christ is magnified by the dying of everything so that when Spring comes, new things can be born. :)

Yesterday, I wanted to celebrate the fall season. So at work, I worked myself into a Fall Frenzy. I called Tif, cause I knew she was coming over, I called Marie to invite her up, and I called Dad to tell him how like him I am with voting on the radio with my finger. ;)

When I arrived home, Anna was a little overwhelmed by my excitement when I said, "I have something I need to tell you!!!" With eyes big and a confused smile, she laughingly asked if she needed to be sitting down. So I then informed her of my ideas for last night and today.

Me: I wanna make chili, and spider breadsticks, and cinnamon rolls, and in the morning we can have crepes and then carve pumpkins and it will be GREAT!
Anna: haha.... Ok, what do we need to get?

Me: Pretty much everything.
Anna: I'll take care of breakfast if you take care of tonight...

Me: Sounds great lets go!

So here are some pics of last night and today's exciting events. Tif came over, but didn't get here until later last night and Lin came down to shop and got in about 10:30 p.m. or so. So Anna and I had a TON of food.

Me with my spider breadstick ;notice my necklace from Anna from Kenya (ivory!)

Carvings

More Carvings and end products.

With candles in the pumpkins... they looked pretty cool.

And you can't carve pumpkins without having a pic like this. ;)

This morning we had crepes with yogurt and berries and triple berry muffins. And cinnamon rolls from last night. ;) It's a great weekend so far. If you read this, say a prayer for Mathias Smith since tonight is his testimony and tomorrow his baptism.

Blessings to you all!
