Petroleum Jelly

The big activity for the day- pumpkin carving. As any self-respecting perfectionist would do, I hopped on the internet prior to partaking in my carving activities. I decided on a haunted house that I could draw and started researching how to keep my pumpkin in tip-top shape for the entire week (i.e., not mold or dry out and rot like last year). The best and cheapest advice was to coat the inside with petroleum jelly to keep it from drying out. I diligently carved and painted my pumpkin then proceeded to coat the inside while Ty cooked the pumpkin seeds.

Well, have you ever put petroleum jelly all over your hands? Yeah, not such a great idea. I guess you now know the rest of the story. Let's just say that I have a nice sheen to my hands and Ty is still chasing me around trying to spray car degreaser on me. Next year, I'll use gloves.

I hope that you enjoy my fabulous haunted house pumpkin this year. Notice my bats, ghosts, witch, pumpkin, and cat. Yeah, I'm an artist. Happy Halloween and "boo!"

New Halloween Toy

Happy Halloween!

Thanks great-Granny for my costume. I get "frozen" in fear when I have clothes on, but otherwise I like the attention in my goblin outfit. I get to go trick-or-treating in Philly this year at "Uncle" Dave's house...more pics to come.

Welcome home honeymooners!

On September 20th my awesome amiga Tamara got married in the Outer Banks, North Carolina. My whole family went for the week and played on the beach, caught up on sleep, and ate until we were stuffed. This week Tamara and her new hubby Jeremy returned from their honeymoon. I can't wait to have them back...I've missed them both. I need my Monday night volleyball league pepper partner back!

Say "hello" to my little friend

You know that it wouldn't take long for me to introduce the second love of my life, my dog Bauer. (The first is Tyler in case you were wondering.) He was our first wedding gift from mom and dad Wolfe and has truly become our four-legged son. Bauer will celebrate his 2nd birthday this Christmas Eve and we enjoy every minute with his treat-loving, bone-chewing, attitude-having self. I am certain that our blogspot will soon be filled with Bauer antics...just you wait and see!

Why the h e double hockey sticks not?

Everybody's doing it. Thanks to my dear friend Kim Hall I am here. I don't have a major life event to report, no kids to speak of, and a basically boring life...BUT, I'm sure that I'll find something to share with the world, right?
