The garage is still set up, so we ran the tag sale again this week. Friday was an ideal fall day for a tag sale, cool, but clear and nice, and although Saturday was dreary and rainy, plenty of folks stopped by. It's funny how you can have plenty of traffic and sell plenty of stuff, and yet, the garage doesn't look cleared out at all.
We sold the kitchen cabinets, so that cleared out some space in the garage - and the living room. I think we'll have space to have a Christmas tree this year - yippee! We'll put the files we need to keep into the basement, and we'll actually have a living room again after nearly a year.
Today we spent the afternoon at the home of some dear friends for their traditional pumpkin carving party. It was perfect weather to have the party outdoors, where spilt pumpkin guts are no problem at all! There was a lot of terrific food (loved the mummy finger hot dogs), delicious desserts, jello shots and Godiva chocolate liqueur. Towards evening, the kids were gathering leaves into piles for jumping while the adults sat around a roaring fire enjoying each others' company.
Daniel decided to carve the Family Guy's Stewie on his pumpkin. It's almost 8 and he's still working on it. He was working very carefully on it for hours at the party - first poking holes around the outline, then carving out a few of the details, and now he's painstakingly scraping away at the skin of the pumpkin for Stewie's face and other details. I can't wait to see how it turns out!
