Football, pumpkins and rodeos - I LOVE FALL!
What a crazy/wonderful past few weeks these have been! I feel like I haven’t sat down and vegged for a month…and yet I’m grateful I haven’t. Doing things provides more memories. And for anyone that knows me, I’m AAAAALLLL about the memories. :)
Anyhoo, this week, aside from working, I kept my self occupied with the following:
1) Attending a LGF (Little Guy Football) game that my lovely bf coached for. It was a beautiful day (albeit a little chilly as the night went on) and I got to meet some of the other coaches significant others who were pretty nice :) I’m always down for making new friends/acquaintances!
2) Because my mother had to work and my little sister needed the presence of a female at her senior pictures, I subbed in as the makeshift stylist for the day.
And then the swans came to make her pictures a little more unique ;)
3) Like I said I was going to do in a previous post, I carved a pumpkin and made toasted, seasoned pumpkin seeds (which, in my opinion, were pretty good for my first try). Here are some pictures of me, Cam and my friend Cody carving away as well as our results :D
(please note that the huge smile on my face was not because I was stabbing a pumpkin. Cam kept making me laugh, resulting in my “overly happy to be carving a pumpkin” face.)
Hard at work!
Uh oh…Cam’s starting to look like his pumpkin…good thing it was just the smile that rubbed off on him and not the one eye thing…
My pumpkin was taking FOREVER to finish. So, I decided to take a break and…
4) go to the rodeo with my mom :)
Got him!
Mother had beer coups lol
As I told Cam, you know it’s a good night when you’re watching cowboys and drinkin’ beer ;)
I then proceeded to return to pumpkin carving while Cam vacuumed…yeah, we’re exciting haha
Lovely :) I love our pumpkins!!!
Aaaaand 5), the next day Cam and I made delicious flavored pumpkin seeds! Num, num, num. The ones on the left are sweet (cinnamon sugar) and the others are salty (garlic salt, worcestershire sauce and butter - sounds weird but surprisingly good).
So yes. Great week/weekend/fall. Now to make cookies… :D
