the great pumpkin search...

this weekend we did quite a bit of relaxing, which was very nice. on saturday night we had friends over for dinner. we made an appetizer of hummus and pita bread for the first time, and it actually turned out really well. dan cooked kebobs on the grill that we paired with wild rice. for dessert we had fruit with fruit dip and some yummy cookies provided by leah. on sunday afternoon we went on the great pumpkin search. Unfortunately, we couldn't find a 'pick-your-own' farm, but we still had a great time! mary claire was determined to pick up the pumpkins, most of which were about as big as she is. luckily, dan was finally able to help her find one small enough. we are finally almost ready for halloween. we have purchased plenty of candy, we have picked out costumes, and now we have our pumpkins. the only thing left on the to do list is carve the pumpkins!
