Halloween Decor and Visit to the ER

Halloween isn't my favorite holiday. However, J's excitement for getting the house ready for any holiday really rubs off on me. We DO enjoy handing out candy to trick and treaters. It's one of our favorite things we get to do every year. We play music, enjoy food and drink, and greet the kids when they arrive. It's a tradition we REALLY enjoy!=)

Saturday, we decided to carve pumpkins. I had a fundraiser that morning and a football game watch party that afternoon, so we planned to do it that evening. Here are some clips from the day!

Before you get to one picture in particular, I'd like to note the following: 1. Yes, I know how to properly cut a vegetable. 2. It was an accident. I don't even remember moving my hand from it's proper location on the vegetable to where it would have been in danger. I think I was talking to J.

Now, you may proceed=)

That morning, we noticed we had the PERFECT Halloween photo op! One of our little black kitties curled up right behind the pumpkins we had set out for the evening.



Later that evening, J started out little "carving party." He has such a cute smile!=) I love how crazy his hair got!



This is where I had my accident. Before you judge, please re-read the disclaimer above. This picture was taken after we got back from the ER and had my hand stitched up. Not fun.



This is the final product of our decorated front porch. We are just now acquiring fall decorations, and our collection will grow throughout the years. Right now we have our front door decoration and the little pumpkin we placed on our mantel (bottom picture). Next year, we hope to add a few more pieces.

Pure Greatness...

I've dancing in a showcase in December. I have danced in competitions, but I have never danced in a showcase. I'm working through being nervous and trying to put that in the past. Praying and getting in my head and working through the thought processes that occur when I'm nervous have been helping. I'm very sure that God is responsible for that too! I can't do that on my own!

Watching my favorite dancers helps me get more excited than nervous. SO...here are the videos from the amazing latin stars Riccardo Cocchi and Yulia Zagorouitchenko at the 2009 World Super Stars Dance Festival. Bless you lovely people for giving your gift of dance to the world. You are amazing.

Trip to the Vet

J and I had annual family trip to the vet last weekend. Poor little Sophia had a rough time with her shots! Usually Vit doesn't do as well, but he was a lot more relaxed this time.

We are working on implementing a new way to feed them. Currently, Sophia will eat her food AND Vit's food. Sophia could lose a little weight and  Vit could gain some. SO, the Vet is having us put them in separate rooms for 15 minutes twice a day to eat their food separately. The Vet thinks this could be just what they need. 

Here's a pic of them looking out the window. I thought their little tails were super cute!
