Hello! I'm finally getting a free moment to sit down and put some photos up ... It's been, as usual, a hectic month. Here's our Halloween Jack-o-lantern, of which we were very proud. We got a pumpkin-carving kit this year, complete with a special color-changing light! Oooooooo...

We took a field trip one Sunday to IKEA because our roommate Kellyn had NEVER HEARD OF IT. We just couldn't let this travesty go unheeded. It was a fun day - our housemates Chiara and Aaron joined in too. (Chance is taking the picture.)

Thanksgiving is actually tomorrow, but we celebrated early at the House with a potluck on the 13th. Everyone made very tasty food and we all were stuffed.

Aaron made this amazing pumpkin pie. I'm still dreaming about it...

A couple of our roommates ended up having a pillow fight - a good use for all of those random throw pillows that normally live behind the couch. Aaron eventually put a wire basket around his head like a helmet and attacked Kaela with a vengeance! I think in the end it was a draw.

Our latest activity was taking a couple of housemates to see the Supersuckers, a local rock band who put on an amazing (but very loud and VERY late) show at Neumo's. This is where famous Seattle bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam used to play back in the "good old days." We had fun but we couldn't hear anything the next day!

I don't think I've posted a photo of our glorious sunset view yet. This is what we see out of our window in the evening. It's hard to see, but there is a beautiful mountain range on the horizon. Seattle really is pretty when it's not raining!
