Colin's Pumpkin Creations

Since we just bought our house and had been living in an apartment for 2 years, we didn't own ANY fall decorations. I haven't really had the time or money to purchase decorations this year so pumpkins it was. (I am waiting till everything goes 50% off after Halloween before I shop for next years decorations)

I'm very lucky to have such an artistic husband. We bought 4 pumpkins and only 3 are carved so far. Colin has carved all 3 because if I did one and sat it next to his, it would look like a 5 year old did it. I do want to add that these were all hand drawn, no stencils used!

Below are our only fall decorations but I brag on my husband because I think we will have the best pumpkins on the block this year! (I'm sorry the pictures aren't the best, I took them with my iPhone)

Happy almost Halloween!

I had people comment on Facebook that Colin should do a tiger so I thought I would add this picture of pumpkins he carved a few years back. Mine is in the middle...can't you tell :0)

I've been a bad blogger...

I really do have a problem updating my blog. I always get sucked into reading other people's blogs that I forget to update mine. Who knows if anyone even reads mine though :0) So since it has been FOREVER since I have blogged, I will give you a quick update on life in the Leonard household.

1. Colin's family came to visit over fall break. I had a wonderful time with my MIL, and my grandparents-in-law. We did a bunch of antiquing and some shopping. They even stocked our fridge! It was the first time they had seen the house and we were so glad to welcome them. Too bad I didn't take any pictures while they were here!

2. Kari's Bridal Shower was the weekend that my family was in town and Kate and I went to it. It such a nice shower that her sister put on for her. I can't wait for her wedding the first weekend in December.

3. Colin and I have been tailgating with Kari and TC's family after games. We have been having a blast with them and want to thank them for allowing us to hang out with them! Here are a few pictures from past tailgates....P.S. We beat Wake Forest last weekend and Purdue beat Ohio State! It was a good football weekend in the Leonard house!

4. Clemson just hosted Rock the 'John 2009 this past Friday. It is our version of midnight madness and kicks off our basketball season. I have to brag on our event because it was awesome. We totally had the best entrance of any coach in the nation this year. Coach Purnell repelled from the rafters of Littlejohn in Army fatigues. Here is a picture even though it doesn't do it justice! Now we just have to come up with something to top that for next year!

I will leave this post as a promise. I promise that I will try to start blogging more often and keeping everyone updated on our life in the south. If you read this, let me know so that I don't feel as if I am blogging to no one :0)
