So we carved our first family pumpkin last night, weeeeeee! Alan carved it, I scooped out some gook and Faythe gave approving nods while she played with her Play-Doh. She had quite a good time playing with my camera as well. I have just about 30 pics of her legs as well of one of my purse. She kept saying "I did it!!" everytime she'd take a picture. She hasn't quite gotten the hang of actually aiming and taking a picture yet!
Here's a few pics from last night:
Faythe being spooky with the pumpkin.
Our pumpkin using the special "night" flash on my camera.
One Faythe thigh of many!
Faythe playing with Play-Doh and not wanting her picture taken.
Daddy opening the pumpkin.
Daddy trying to get Faythe to stick her hand in to get some seeds. There was NO way she was going to do that!
I forgot to mention that it was my birthday a week ago! It was a pretty decent birthday. Went to my Mother-n-Law's for dinner (she made a fabulous pork roast with garlic mashed potatoes and creamed spinach
Alan took me to Red Robin for our favorite Whiskey BBQ Burger and Faythe had more macaroni and cheese:
She is just crazy about that stuff! She wants it for breakfast, lunch & dinner!
Faythe with her favorite Red Robin cup.
Alan still hasn't really gotten me anything for my bday yet, we're still trying to figure that one out. He got me some neat little things but for my main present we were going to get an Ipod but for a really good one they're just too expensive. I want to get one eventually but we're trying to get out of debt so spending $400 on something right now is just a little too pricey for us! He was going to get me the new Tori Amos boxed set "A Piano" but that was nowhere to be found. Everyone that got them in ran out and no one seems to be ordering any more.
My Mommy sent me what I really wanted.....new socks! Seriously, I did! The card was beautiful, it had a picture on it that looked just like me when I was little. She also got me some great halloween towels and oven mits and a super cute Halloween shirt for Faythe.
My brother and sister-n-law got me the best present ever...AN INFLATABLE RALPH!! It's awesome! Faythe calls him "Boy". They also got me the new Muse CD as well as a bunch of fantastic halloween stuff (post-its, stamps, bloodworms, etc). He also made my card, it's very unique and I love it. I couldn't help showing it around at work.

He also made me 2 CD's (Songs for Gay Dogs, anyone? It's AWESOME!). I can always count on my brother to introduce me to new, fantastic music!
My friend, Lorie (no...YOU'RE top drawer!), knitted Faythe and I scarves! I love them! Faythe wears hers all the time. She never wants to be without her scarf (or "sweater" as she first called it!). She also got me these CEE-YUTE pencil monkeys. They're supposed to be for the top of your pencil but I put the others (one is on a pencil) on top of my flat-screen monitor at work. Lorie is picking me up from the airport in just a few short weeks! Can't wait!!
My friend Sav sent me the best card and had a bunch of people send me birthday wishes which were included in the card. I was very surprised and touched! I would scan that but Sav knows why I won't =D. Love the pic you drew of me on the inside, ha!
I normally don't go around saying, "this person got me this and that person got me that" but I was really touched by all the thought that was put into everything I received for my birthday this year. There were other things that I received that I haven't mentioned but I didn't want to list every last thing! THANKS EVERYONE SOOOO MUCH!!
I think I'm going to start on a new sock monkey. I haven't made any in quite awhile and I've noticed that of all the toys Faythe has, she has no sock monkey! I've decided to make her one for Christmas. That should be enough time for me to get it done!
Aaaah, Christmas! Not too long now! I better go before I start giggling uncontrollably! Have a great Sunday, everyone!
