Baby it's cold outside

I've probably mentioned before on here that I have a lot of shoes, well they all get abandoned when it starts getting cold.  I'm a wimp to even think about not wearing socks when it's winter.   So I decided to make myself some keyhole socks.  Oh you haven't heard of them, well let me tell you about these genius socks.  So I'm not gonna  wear socks and flats together unless my socks aren't going to show  (theirs exceptions so don't think you have to go throw out your way of dressing, it's just something I don't like.)
So these socks are cut a certain way so you can still keep your feet warm but also wear flats and your socks don't show.  So clever.
just so ya know my pants are rolled up, they would be put down if worn in public

 So I took a couple pairs of my socks and judged wear most flats fall on the foot and cut.   Then to help with the fraying I sewed around the edges.  Not to shabby


I also have been wanting to finally hang some things on the wall in Daniel and I's bedroom.  So I made this little sign to hang.  Haven't hung anything yet though haha maybe once the semester is over so my handy man can help me.

Halloween Fun

We had a few Halloween events to attend this year.   The first was our wards Chili cook off and trunk or treat. Daniel and I were asked to be the chairs or the activity and create a committee to help us.  The night was a huge success.  We had a lot of people come and we kept busy the whole night.  I'm pretty sure we could get jobs as waiters, we were filling up water pitchers non stop.  We didn't taste any of the chilis/soups because we were busy and there wasn't a lot left over, so we treated ourselves to some Chick fil a at 8:30 that night.  Here are some pictures of the activity before people started coming.

The next event was Carlile family Halloween party.   We dressed up as a sailor and nurse inspired by the famous picture of the sailor kissing the nurse after the war was declared over.  I love the family Halloween get together we do because everyone dresses up so fun.  Its always a surprise what everyone is going to be.

J & T were mr and mrs potato head 

Mom & Dad were the munsters 

M & C family were the little mermid characters 

Daniel knew how much I really wanted to go get a pumpkin so he took me to go get one.  A pumpkin patch was what we were hoping for but the weather was getting really bad so we went to Walmart.   We came home and Daniel did homework while I carved our pumpkin.  I'm reminded every year that carving is not that fun and pretty smelly so I don't know why I always want one.  Must be the attitude of wanting to be festive.  

I was going for a 3 eyed jack o lantern

Then our Halloween was spent at Daniels parents.   We weren't sure how many trick or treaters we'd get and Daniel was going to be doing homework so he didn't want to keep hearing a door bell ring  and ring with us not answering.  So we went to his parents and hung out with them for the night.
