Pumpkins, Pumpkins, Pumpkins!

Geez, I need to start posting more.

I hope to have the ambition to take a few pictures of our house and post them up here.

Big news of the month is that my parents are moving. To Ohio. Bummer. Not a huge fan, but I'll do my best to be supportive.

The one positive is that my parents are down-sizing their living space, so they suddenly need to purge some stuff. So... early inheritance of family furniture for my brothers and I!

We are now proud owners of a family grandfather clock, a family cedar chest WITH clothes from my grandparents and mom, a table saw and some other saw thing (temporarily storing until my parents move to a larger space someday), a washer and dryer (yay!), a good, hefty car jack, a leaf chomper machine thing (looks like a lawn mower, not sure what it does, but Chris was excited), canning supplies, a sewing machine and some food for our freezer. And we already had my piano.

So our house feels even more "homey" since those items are starting to fill in some more of the gaps.

In other news, Major Pumpkin Patch (this is the pumpkin portion of this post) is going on for the next two weekends. Come visit Chris and I up there! Great photo opportunity and some fun games for the kiddos (or parents, if you want). Food is available (homemade by Mom (Karen) Major!). The hayride is my favorite - Dad (Mike) Major has been making some REALLY cool scenes the past couple of years. Can't wait to see what they added this year! I think I heard there was going to be a Wizard of Oz scene...

Then we'll be having our Pumpkin Stew party and then we can relax.

Also, we are starting up with RIOT (our middle school youth group) this week. So tonight I hope to bake some cookies to bring on Wednesday!
