This is the view out of our living room window--it is so beautiful!
He is a the best pumpkin carver, does anyone remember the UofO logo last year on his pumpkin?
Don't eat it yet David!
Reading, watching movies, and relaxing--is there anything better in life?
There is nothing like warm soup on a cold day!Yay for German Reunification Day—David and I had the day off from everyday life (everything is closed for the holiday, just like Sundays, so we planned our day accordingly and we decided to do nothing)! It has been a wonderful day of relaxation, rest, and coziness in our warm apartment, a respite from the wet and cold fall that is pervasive all around us outdoors.
We started the day by sleeping in late and then making a pact to stay in sweats all day. David carved our first pumpkin of the season (because canned pumpkin is VERY expensive here) and gutted it—then cut it in half so it would fit in our oven.
I cooked the pumpkin in the oven and then from the insides of the pumpkin I made homemade pumpkin soup. While the soup simmered David and I read our books, watched a movie, and watched the replay of the vice presidential debate on CNN.
It was a day that was both restful and rejuvenating for our souls.

You 2 are just the cutest couple! What a fabulous way to spend a day (and productive too I might add!). You may have inspired me to do something more with a pumpkin this year than roast seeds...perhaps a homemade pumpkin pie is in oder. Martha would be so proud :)
