This past weekend we celebrated Doug's birthday! On Saturday we had our friends over and watched the Never Ending Story 2, ate cake, ate pizza, and played some cranium. It was so much fun. The Never Ending Story 2 was so ridiculously cheesy that it had us cracking up and quoting throughout the night.
That day Doug took Allison and I to his work to try the kinect 360. Neither of us had tried it (and he didn't really like it). I thought it was a lot of fun. I liked the sports better than the dancing though. Much better than a Wii! We got pretty tired though, so it's also a good work out (much more so than other video games!).
We came home to a beautiful sunset. So of course I grabbed the camera and took a lot of pictures.
The aftereffect of a sunset is always the best part
I baked Doug's cake that morning and frosted it in the afternoon. He chose funfetti cake and I suggested having white frosting and then saw silver sprinkles at the store that I loved. Top it all off with black writing frosting and it was perfect! And delicious!
Lighting the candles
I moved a little too quick for the camera lol
Make a wish!
Cutting the cake :)
Sunday consisted of Doug and I looking for a pet. We're leaning towards getting a kitten because it's all that we're allowed to having. We're looking at the logistics to see if it's practical for us to get one. We figure we could keep the litter box on the porch so that we don't have to worry about it smelling up the apartment. I get lonely when Doug is at work so it'd be nice to have an animal to cuddle with. And when we go on vacation we figure that we can hire one of the high school students in the youth group to take care of it. Plus kitties are so cute and playful! We'll see though. We don't have one yet, but we went to the Humane Society yesterday and there were some cute ones. We have to wait for them to be spayed though before we take one home. Doug loves the playful ones!
There was a pretty sunset on Sunday night too :)
We also made caramel apples that night. This year we also added a bit of chocolate for even more yummyness.
Yesterday was Doug's birthday. We slept in a little bit and then his mom came and visited us! We got to show her our new place, some of our Europe pictures, and spend some much needed time with her. We went to lunch at Red Robin. It was soo good!
Last night we went to our friend James' house for a Halloween party-ish. We watched James' do science experiments for the trick or treaters and give out the candy (and refuse to give it to those who didn't dress up). His block is a really fun block for Halloween. It feels like a movie with how festive the houses are, how many kids are running around, and the general atmosphere of the night. A couple doors down they were giving out hotdogs and had a keg for the adults (Allison noticed a little girl trying to help herself to some and we stepped in then...) We went trick-or-treating ourselves then (I just walked with the group). Then we watched the end of the Charger's game (so disappointing!). Then we played Battle of the Sexes in which the girls won a game and then the boys won a game. It was such a fun night. All in all I think Doug had a pretty good birthday. He keeps saying that he's old, and I told him he can't say that he's "old" till his 50th birthday (which, even then is still young!). He's so funny. I love that man!
