pumpkins and potatoes.

in order to get the month of october started off right, austin and i headed up to steve and gloria's house to carve pumpkins last weekend.

austin and taylor working hard. with the help of bailey and juliet.

bailey ate all the pumpkin she possibly could.

while juliet just relaxed in the sunshine.

taylor's pumpkin.

and austin's.

and mine!



after carving, taylor busted out the potato gun. just for fun.

step one: hammer the potato into the gun.

step two: add hair spray.

step three: test the direction of the wind by throwing grass into the air.

step four: aim and fire.

step five: run away from flying potato and/or potato bits {not pictured. because i was running and hiding}

everyone got to try.

after that, austin and i went to watch the utc game against the citadel {and that's all i'm going to say about that. because i'm embarrassed for us}.

and when we got home, we put our pumpkins on the front porch and lit 'em up.

neat-o, i know.

on a somewhat related fall-season note, check out the pretty mums austin bought me for the porch.

and on an austin-related note, he had appointments with his kidney doctor and the cardiac people this week and received lots of good news. his electrolyte levels are staying at a good-for-him level {even though they'd be considered quite low for a "normal" person}. his incision site is healing well. and his defibrillator is working properly {they had to test it, but he hasn't actually needed it at all! yay!}. he's been cleared of pacemaker precautions, which means he's back to zero limitations about movement of his arm/how much weight he can hold/etc. he just has to avoid holding large magnets to his chest. which i think we can handle. all good news!

and, well, that's about it, for now. we've got lots of plans this weekend, including a ton of studying for me. but hopefully i'll have some pictures/fun things to share from the weekend activities. no guarantees though.
