Yesterday Tim and I hoped to have fun at a local vineyard's harvest day, where they had pumpkins for sale, hayrides, and donuts and cider...when we got there, it was POURING rain and us being the lazy people we are didn't really feel like getting out of the car...so we went into town instead to find some pumpkins.

We went to the produce market, and they were asking for way too much. Guess where we ended up finding the cheapest pumpkins? Yup, the grocery store. $2.99 for these bad boys (yes, I felt dumb writing that).

 We also went in search of Halloween decorations and walked out with this:

 Today we carved the pumpkins :)

 A pumpkin-scented candle and The Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack helped us get in the Halloween spirit (that feels weird, normally it's the Christmas spirit. whatever.).

Tim's pumpkin was a little dirty.

Of course we had to make our cat one :) Turns out, pie pumpkins are not meant for carving and are insanely hard to cut into, so we drew on hers instead. She seemed to like it.

 After carving the pumpkins, we relaxed with some apples and homemade caramel dip (a little time consuming to make, but to die for...especially on ice cream :D).

Now I just need to stay away from everything else that's sweet-I've already opened up the three HUGE bags of candy we bought for trick-or-treaters...
