Happy Thanksgiving!

We wanted to make sure that Cambria, Quincy, Rocky, Daisy, Jonah and Eleanor all felt special on this Thanksgiving Day! We love you!

Another clogging test and Flower arrangement

This weeks flower arrangement was wedding bouquets. They are a lot harder than they look. I didnt get to choose my flowers either. If I had, I probably would have chosen different colors.




And I got another houseplant. I cant remember what they called this type of arrangement, but it is basically one with several plants to use as a centerpiece.



And also my clogging test.

11/11/11

So on November 11, 2011, Eric and I decided to watch a movie (We watched Simon Burch which by the way has to be one of the saddest movies ever. I cried like... well lets just say I cried pretty hard). Someone had taken a picture on facebook at 11:11 on 11/11/11, so I told Eric we should do that too. So we stopped the movie and tried to get some pictures. You couldn't see the clock too well with the flash.

The next picture we tried had such a long shutter that the clock changed half way through, but I thought it was a cool picture because it showed 11:11 and 11:12!



We documented us in bed as well. At the prime of the day :) As usually I couldn't keep my eyes open with the flash.

Also I have been trying to do some nitrogen analysis and things havent been working out super well. (the picture is sideways) But the standard curve looks really pretty so I took a picture. The first four lines(the green) are test out an ammonium standard curve and the last two (the purple and pink) are testing nitrate. The ammonium worked great but the nitrate didn't. I got some strange black precipitate in it.

Now you see it, now you dont.

My pumpkin started to melt and mold and drip all over, so I took out the flowers that were still good and made a little arrangement on the table with our veggies as well.

And Eric decided it was time for the beard to come off so he shaved it. But before the big shave he got some quick pics out in the yard and a before and after picture. I think he looks handsome either way- with or without a beard- but someone told him the next day that the beard was just him and that he shouldn't have shaved it. Oh well. Luckily if he really wants it again he can just grow it again! Thats the thing with facial hair. It keeps growing.

Clogging test

Had a clogging test today. Here is the video from it.



Don't forget to read the previous post from yesterday if you didn't see it yet. Don't want you to miss out on our Halloween!

This is Halloween!

Halloween this year was a blast. I (Debbie) personally got to carve/decorate three pumpkins, although my mummy one is a little messed up now since it poured rain all day.

On Saturday we went to Jenny Wall's party and had fun seeing everyone in costume. We also played with Quincy, Cambria, Jonah and Eleanor. And watched some X-files with Indee and Hayden (and Cami and Toad). Hayden got a little scared, but Indee loved the thrill of the scary movies.

This was pumpkin #3 that I carved.

My mummy pumpkin (thanks Martha Stewart for the idea)

Quincy is so cute these days. I think she looks a lot like Daisy personally. She was so good all night. She just sat in her little chair and hardly made a peep except for saying bob. Ill babysit you any day.

Eleanor still has a head of hair. She is good too.

My vampire pumpkin. I think this one was my favorite. Cambria drew on the back and made her own vampire pumpkin but I thought mine looked much cooler so I didn't even get a picture of hers.

Cambria was in kind of a silly mood, but we still had fun with her.

For our costumes Eric was Paul Bunyan

And I was Babe the blue ox.

We took three of the primary girls from our class trick or treating which meant that we have successfully gone trick or treating 3 times together now. Every Halloween that we have spent together. It's pretty fun still getting a bag of candy.

In case you didn't see the previous flower post, these were my two Halloween flower arrangements. This one is stationed in our bathroom.

And this one in our kitchen. They are SO beautiful!

This is Eric's pumpkin. It didn't quite get finished.

Bonus pics:
We got to go to the sealing of our friends Robbie and Tiffany to their adopted son Daxton. We had some fun at the temple while we were at it.

Some wedding type poses since we didn't get married there like (it seems) every other LDS couple.






PS. Didn't Eric do a pretty good job growing a beard for his Halloween costume.
