weekend of oct 25-26

this weekend was our least busy so far this month.

saturday we drove to the dayton mall too see how it was... it sucked! there were no toy stores, only clothes stores. and it wasnt that easy to get around in either. there was a 20 minutes (each way) drive wasted. although, on the was back home we stopped for gas and paid $2.289/gal. i thought this was a great price until i saw it for $2.249 on the way to the library.

sunday was our pumpkin day. first we went to meijer. no pumpkins but we got carving kits, and an umbrella for anya. next stop, walmart. no pumpkins, that was a quick "in-out" operation. next stop office depot to get a new calculator for mike. while anya and i checked out, mike and asia checked lowe's for pumpkin. no such luck. we were on our way to kroger to see if they had any pumpkins when we paseed by frank's fruit stand. they had pumpkins! unfortunately they only took cash and since pumpkins were $.30/lb my pumpkin ended up being a little smaller than i had planned. they all came out very nice once they were carved. anya designed her face and asia talked us through hers. we tried to light candles in them to see how they turned out but last night we had lots of wind gusts and our candles wouldnt stay lit. later that night the wind got worse and i chased our recycling down the street twice. somebody skull came rolling over to our house too. if it warms up, asia and i are going to find out where it came from.

i will post pumpkin pics later!
