Carving Pumpkins

The other night Chaz and Alisa came over and we carved pumpkins. TG wasn't very excited about carving pumpkins because he said that he had never carved a pumpkin before. Once TG started, he was hooked and his pumpkin turned out to be really cool. Chaz wanted to carve a picture of a witch flying on her broom. Well it didn't work as planned and the picture ended up caving in. His pumpkin was left with just a big hole in the front.

Bring on the Halloween Festivities!

We went to a Halloween Party on Saturday. I hate coming up with costume ideas, but TG had a great idea for us to be characters from the movie Juno. Of course I was Juno and TG was Juno's boyfriend. We went to all the thrift stores and sporting goods stores to try and find yellow running shorts that would fit TG. We finally found some basketball shorts that did the job.

I'm Officially Part of the Steeler Nation

I have always been a huge football fan since I was little. When I was young I liked the 49ers mostly because my mom did. I then started liking the Atlanta Falcons when Jamal Anderson was playing there. The team hasn't been the same since Vick left and I don't know how much of a fan I am anymore. TG's favorite team is the Pittsburgh Steelers and I've always liked them, but never claimed them as my team. This season I decided that the Steelers would be my new team, though I will always be a Falcons fan at heart. It's been fun cheering for the same team as TG. When TG was in Boston he bought me a Troy Polamalu jersey, so I could officially be a Steelers fan. TG and I both put on our Steelers gear a couple weeks ago when the Steelers played the Ravens. Here are some pictures, sorry about the behind shot.

CORNBELLY'S

Last weekend TG and I went to Cornbelly's at Thanksgiving Point with Alisa and Chaz. I had never been to Cornbelly's, so I was excited to go. It was so much fun! There were a ton of things for kids to do, which worked out nicely for us because TG and Chaz are kids at heart. They have two corn mazes. One is an easier corn maze and the other one is more of a challenge. We decided to go through the easier corn maze just for a warm up. Well the corn maze wasn't easy at all. We never found the end and ended up cheating by taking the emergency exit. Oh well, corn mazes aren't really my thing anyway. I am so claustrophobic I could feel myself starting to panic when we couldn't find the end, but then we found an emergency exit, which I'm so glad they had. When we got done with the maze we saw a tractor pulling a cow train around the pumpkin patch. The ride is meant for kids, but TG was determined to have us all go on the ride. TG managed to shove his big body into one of the barrels, it was hilarious. My favorite part of the night was going on the hay ride. It was a little bumpy, but it was a nice way to end the night. Fall is such a fun time of the year.
