Fall Time is upon us

Andrew and I carved pumpkins this week! We had so much fun doing it. We saved some pumpkin which I pureed so we can make fresh pumpkin pie. We also saved the seeds and baked them. This is definitely a fun time of year up here in New York. However we're not looking forward to the cold that comes with winter. It has been getting a lot colder up here. This morning when we woke up it was 29 degrees outside!!!!

Andrew's pumpkin is the Alien and mine is the ghost.

Us with our pumpkins.

I put them on our back steps. Notice the kittens trying to steal the pumpkins thunder.

So along with the freezing 29 degrees this morning. There was a light dusting of snow on the trees behind our apartment. Notice the snow on Andrew's car. That was not fun to scrape off before we had to go to work/school and it made me realize that we need an ice scraper for each car!

Snow on the trees.

Snow on the cars!

Apple Fest and Critz Farm

Andrew and I had the chance to go to the Apple Fest in Lafayette, NY this weekend. We went on Saturday it was chili and muddy, but we had a great time. There were lots of crafts vendors and we had the best apple cider there.

Award winning pumpkins at the apple fest. They were HUGE

Look how pretty the trees are.

On Sunday we went to Critz Farm's Fall Festival. We had a really good time. We got to go through a corn maze, watch them press fresh cider, pick our own pumpkins, and take a wagon ride back from the pumpkin field.

In the corn maze. We found the first station.

YaY another station!

We found all the stations and got to ring the bell at the end!!

Riding the wagon back.

We still have to carve the pumpkins this week.

On the way back we stopped at the picnic site overlooking the lake

Yay! Us at the lake. It was freaking cold.

SNOW

So, I was awoken this morning around 6:30 by my roommate, needless to say I wasn't a happy camper until she told me to get dressed because it was snowing outside. Baton Rouge got 2-4 inches of now and it accumulated on the ground for a little while. Craziness! It's starting to sleet/rain now, so the snow is probably done for the day. Hopefully the road conditions will clear up before I have to be at my final by 6pm or even work by 3. I can skip work if absolutely necessary though. (Sarah will deal).

This is definitely a good way to end my last finals week of college. I came into my freshman year here with a hurricane and went out wit slight flurries on Christmas day. So, I guess it's only fitting that I came into my last semester with a hurricane and end it with record snowfall in this great state. It definitely is a great good-bye.

Finals week has been crazy. I finished my last test last night at 8:30pm. I have to go to my class at 6:00pm tonight and watch a few project presentation, but I have already presented, so I don't even have to do anything. Then Saturday, I turn in a two page dialogue for my English Lit. class and I'm done! WOOO HOOO!

Everyday should start with snow it puts me in such a good mood.
