We carved our super awesome pumpkin, and we both loved our pumpkin we picked out this year! The shape was really unique and fun, and we both loved it at first sight when we were at Linvilla Orchards. We put it on our porch next to a few other cool pumpkins we liked at Linvilla (but we didn't carve those up), and we also had a few cool gourds.
Isn't he cute??
There's our other pumpkins and the gourds! I forgot to take any pictures of them during the day...
There's McGee waiting for trick-or-treaters! You can see some of our window decorations too.
We set up our tailgating chairs on our porch and were ready for trick-or-treaters! We wanted to sit outside, because our front steps are really messed up (and surprise surprise, our crappy landlord hasn't fixed them even though we've been nagging him every week) and we were worried about kids tripping or something. Sadly, we did not have many trick-or-treaters, and the ones that did show up were older... They all looked like emo teenagers, and I don't know if they were even wearing costumes, or if it was just their emo makeup. We have SO much candy leftover... I'd really thought we were going to get lots of trick-or-treaters since we live on a busy road, but it turns out people don't go trick-or-treating on busy roads! Who knew... After about 30 minutes of just sitting there though and no trick-or-treaters, we decided to head inside and watch Hocus Pocus, and The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. We ended up having a very fun and relaxing evening, and it was nice to be toasty warm in our house rather than on the porch. It was a chilly night!
Today we went and saw the movie Fury! It was really amazing, but super intense (which is suggested by the title... so we weren't surprised). I'm really glad we were able to see it on the big screen though. SUCH an awesome movie. And when we got home, we made an amazing pork chop dish for dinner using some of our Linvilla apples, and it had an apple cider sauce. We also cooked up some farro to have with it, and neither one of us had ever tried farro before, but it's really delicious! And for dessert we're going to have some apple pie that I made a few days ago with some of our Linvilla apples. The pie turned out quite delicious, and has been our dessert the past few nights.
The apple pie. I did not take this picture though... It was from the website where I got the recipe. It's what mine looks like though! The lighting in my kitchen just isn't very good...
Now, we are watching maybe the worst movie ever, which is why I'm doing a blog on a Saturday evening. So, for some reason we own the movie King Kong (the one with Jack Black). McGee has owned it for many years, and has never seen it... but we know it's awful so we haven't wanted to see it... But we didn't want to get rid of it until we'd seen it. So, for years we've had it set aside, because if we watch it then we're finally going to get rid of it. So, tonight it is happening, with the help of a good amount of alcohol. I hope you're all having a great night! And take my advice: Don't watch King Kong. I realize I might be many years late with this advice though...
