A Time and a Place for Everything

I am a huge believer that each Holiday should be allowed it's time to shine. Commercialism has done an amazing job of telling stores its okay to put out Christmas decorations for sale right after back to school. (Ok, maybe that's a BIT of a understatement...It might have something to do with the fact 2010 is flying by.) Spencer and I were out for a drive this afternoon and someone was getting their Christmas lights put up. SERIOUSLY????? I couldn't believe it. I was struggling with the fact that 6 days later there are still Halloween decorations up in our apartment.

That being said, I am almost done with my Christmas gifts. Not only is there Christmas for everyone but also 9 family birthdays between Nov 1st and Jan 6th. That's a lot of gifts I have to consider. Every year I tell myself I'll be done with all Christmas gifts by Thanksgiving... and this year I hope will be the first year. :-) If you need ideas check here... I'd love to help you out!

And now...off to work on something fun!

Happy Halloween

I'm honestly not sure where the camera has disappeared to...so I can't even tell you if there are fun pictures on there that need posting. Things have been pretty crazy around here. I'm still working WAY too much (but honestly that doesn't change often). Spencer took the Fundamentals of Engineering exam yesterday. He's spent weeks studying for this 8 hours exam and is relieved its over. Not sure how long til we get the results, but he's pretty confident he passed. We're both glad October is over. It's been a long and crazy month.

Three years ago we took the 7 year old neighbor boy trick or treating because his mom didn't want to. We had a lot of fun...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Shopping Made Easy

Are you stuck trying to find cute gifts for friends and family?? Check out my shop (or click here) within the next few days I'll be adding pictures too. :-) Everything is handmade with love!

Families Are Forever

I was able to be a part of one of the coolest experiences a week and a half ago. Our family friends were sealed in the Denver temple as a family, so their 3 kids were able to be in the temple with us. It's the first sealing I've been to since Spencer and I were sealed. I wish he hadn't had a test so he could've come too. Thanks for letting me be part of your special day.

When the Moon Hits Your Eye...

Like A Big Pizza Pie...That's AMORE!!!

In the Curtis household...we love PIZZA!! One of our wedding gifts was a pizza stone. It got a lot of use (mostly by Chef Spencer). However, one sad day at the end of August it cracked...See Below. So, I wrote to the company and complained. They had AMAZING customer service. We were sent another pizza stone (this one came with a pizza peel too!!)

And so...Spencer and I now make pizza on at least a weekly basis. In the pictures below Spencer even taught me how to toss the pizza. :-)

Afterall, we are married now. Don't married dates consist of homemade pizza and a movie?? (During which I usually fall asleep on the couch...hmmmm...)

Is it Fall Yet???

Is it just me or is watching Football while its 80+ degrees outside just not right. I'm ready for fall. The leaves are just starting to change colors, well some of them are... I'm ready to wear jeans and sweatshirts.

Missing Laundry Fairy!

Well...I've been hoping she would show up and hasn't. I even tried to help her out a bit by doing 2 loads probably close to 2 weeks ago and folding them in hopes she would show up and put the clothes away. No Such Luck!!

I finally caved in today after being asked numerous times... "Carrie where is my green polo?" My response (with a sheepish look) "In that laundry basket.." Pathetic! So... I got up this morning, folded 3 loads of laundry and put 5 loads of laundry away. Including the towels fresh out of the dryer. I'd forgotten what warm towels feel like. Usually our clothes sit in the dryer for atleast a couple days. I put the final load into the dryer before heading off the babysit. Hopefully the laundry fairy will finally show up to fold them and put it all away. :-) If not, maybe Spencer will.
