Saturday evening we headed out past Dixboro in search of the perfect pumpkin. We decided against the fancy nursery and purchased our perfect pumpkins from a very nice farmer who had spent the entire rainy/cold day hoping to sell some and give hay rides. The hay was rather damp...so we passed on the ride this year. Christopher found his baby pumpkin very quickly. (It has since been eaten by Gerald the Goundhog because Mommy forgot to spray it with hairspray before leaving it outside.) The two larger pumpkins we bought have character. One is warty with a a curved stem and the other is perfectly round and is a deep orange, almost red.

Our Dear Friend
Staci (Cflattop) lost her husband Friday night. If you are a fellow Tally or even just admire her work, please check out her blog and maybe make a donation to help their family. Staci, I realize you probably won't see this, but we all love you and want you to know that the entire Tally Family is here for you! (Especially those of us in Michigan!)

Randazzo's/Aldi's
This morning we slept in...again! I think it has something to do with the fact that we haven't changed our clocks yet. And I don't really appreciate that. It's weird to see the sun until 8am. Anyway, about 10 minutes after we all showered and Christopher got up, Samantha called and wanted to head to Aldi's and Randazzo's...and wondered if we wanted anything/to go. (Samantha is in our ward/lives close, her son has the same birthday as Christopher, and her husband is also in a PhD. program.) So today we bought German chocolate for Steve, green peppers, yucca, sweet potatoes for Christopher, red potatoes for a roast, baby carrots, pears (can't ever find them here...), apples (10 lbs. to make applesauce), and some green beans. Did I mention I only paid $10 for all that?! You have to love Randazzo's for all their glorious fruits and veggies!
Last night I managed to find some enthusiasm for enrichment activities and went to the sewing group...and now I'm hooked! As soon as I finish this Halloween costume I fully intend to make PJs for Christopher, a really puffy quilt, and a wall hanging of the Nativity. Our craft group is making these adorable turkey headbands for Thanksgiving. (Katelyn, beware, you may be asked to wear one for a photo op!) We're also planning to make this for Christmas...well, at least start on them together and work on them for next year! I can guarantee we are entirely too ambitious.
