one time...

i made good ol' mac and cheese with peas in it which, by the way, is one of my favorite thing (because yes- i am four years old).  anyway, once i was finished stirring the bright orange powder into the hot noodles and milk, this is how the spoon came out.  i'm not sure why this is the funniest thing in the world to me, it just is.  

what a sweetie...

my dear husband gave me a trip to europe (dublin and paris) for our one year wedding anniversary in september.  we just got back from the trip and i am very happy to tell you that i love europe.  everything was amazing from the food to the museums, the architecture to the weather.  the only thing i didn't really enjoy was the crazy rude parisians.  anyway, i'll definitely be posting pictures later, zack just has the card reader on a job at the moment.  

pumpkin festival in central park

a few days before halloween zack and i went to the pumpkin festival in central park.  it was rainy and cold and very fall-like.  i love pumpkins and, although we missed getting a free one, it was quite enjoyable.

they got elementary schools around the city to carve all the pumpkins.  it was really cool, there were hundreds lining the paths.

this column is right near the bethesda fountain and it randomly has a witch and an owl carved into it.  how appropriate.

my poor pumpkin

before and after

about time for a new posting

so i was just waiting for something important enough to post about and here it is.  my favorite port-a-potty company "johnny on the spot".  

just kidding, really we just haven't had internet for about a month.  good times.
