Whelp, halloween...

Halloween is coming and the only decoration we have in our home is a pumpkin that we were going to carve and make into a scary face.... we just haven't quite gotten to it yet.





However, we have decided on our costumes (although we still have no Halloween party to show them off at yet). We are going to be ninjas, which works out because Austin (conveniently) already owns a ninja sword. Which reminds me, if you get a chance to look at the ninja cat video posted on the side, you should. Austin and I watched it at least three times in a row and could not stop laughing.

So, even though we don't have much to show in our house this year for Halloween, we have still gotten in the Halloween spirit by eating pumpkin seeds and lots of candy! Austin tried to hide the candy from me, but I found them after looking at the only two hiding spots he has :)




Well, if you have any suggestions of inexpensive decorations or treats I could make, I'm all ears!

Peace out till next time!

Camping!

Yeah... we went camping. Twas fun. Mostly we just went fishing even though neither of us like fish.



I played with the camera while Austin set up the tent! :)




I caught one and ate it, and it was gross. Here is the one we cooked.







That was the only fish I caught that day, but Austin got a pretty sweet catch too...

Projects

Well, we're new to this whole blogging thing. So, this will be our first attempt at a blogsite. Here goes!

Lately, we have just been working and working on little projects. Our first project was the under-the-bed dresser. When Dad gave it to us, it wasn't in that great of shape. But, we sanded it down and stained it a different color.

Here is the after picture of our couch that we reupholstered. It was in really rough shape, but was a really good price so we just picked out some fabric and stapled it everywhere to make it stay!

Our next project was a table. We rummaged through the scrap pile at work and found some extra wood flooring lying around that we thought would make a nice table. So, we brought it home and got to it.

Here is the underside of the table. We have limited tools, but we just had to make do. I had to buy a saw and sander though. The screw gun was a gift from our wedding.

Oh yeah, if you notice.....we made this pretty much all in our apartment. Here is a picture of the table before we took it out to stain it.

Finally! The finished project. All in all the time to make this table wasn't bad. It took about two days. With the limited tools and space we have I don't think it turned out too bad. Just to be funny, we decided to put it on craigslist.com for sale to see if we got any responses. We aren't planning on selling it. We're just curious.


Well, that's all for now!!!
