Broken Garbage Disposal

So one night Jacob started screaming and yelling that the sink was leaking and he needed something to catch the water with.  I ran into the kitchen and grabbed our trusty old Popcorn container we got for our wedding almost 6 ears ago and it did the job. 

Little did we know that it was going to take the maintenance guy almost 3 weeks to fix it.  The manager said that when that happened to someone else they did their dishes in the bathtub.  So, I keep my bathtub clean, but is it ever really clean?  I am such a germ-a-fobe that I would never clean dishes in the bathtub that were going to touch my lips.  I think that is slightly insane.

So once they replaced the garbage disposal, needless to say we had a lot of dishes to catch up on.  here were so many that our trusty dish drainer would not do the job.  We had to call out the big guys and use towels.  I however am happy to say we are back to old Whitey our dish drainer now.

After having our garbage disposal fixed for about 2 hours, I decided I needed to run it to see how it worked.  Little did I know my amazing tweezers I have had for about 10 years had snuck their way down in the disposal.  I was wondering why our disposal was making a horrible sound when it was brand new and looked down to find my beloved tweezers mangled.

Needless to say I added tweezers to my Christmas list.  Santa listened and I have already put the new bad boys to work.

Wayback Wednesday...........

I am so behind in blogging so every Wednesday I am going to blog about something I missed over the past few months.  They will not be in order but this is our family journal and so I will be able to include everything.

Halloween.  I know................ it's really late.

Jacob and I have almost been married for 6 years and we have not yet been to a pumpkin patch together.  To make matters worse Jacob has never been to a pumpkin patch at all.  So we asked our good old trusty friend "Google" and he did not lead us astray.  We followed our GPS and it led us to this cute little patch in someones backyard (farm).

I am too scared to go into a corn maze but I thought I could handle this one.

I felt pretty darn safe in my hubby's arms.

When he left I was completely lost.

To the rescue

Love us

Found our first pumpkin

2 day before Halloween and still a lot of pumpkins

So glad I found a perfectly round pumpkin, while Jacob was looking for pumpkins right for carving.

We found a duck fan on the farm.

Found his perfect pumpkin

Nothing better than Big Jud's to end a perfect date night.  They have the biggest burgers and they are so good.  I also think they have the best homemade buns in the world.

Fresh Cut Fries

This is a comparison of 1/4 of their burger to one of their fries.

I may not be a fan of Rexburg winters but they do have some beautiful landscapes.

Put your "O" up!!!!

Carving, ignore the dirty kitchen

Before the pumpkins went out to the porch

                       We love our little Halloween ducks. We have some for Christmas too, just you wait.

Jacob's pumpkin, he is a scary guy.

Of course I made a pirate, that is because I am a real pirate.

Both of our pumpkins

Halloween was really relaxed this year. We did not dress up or go to any party's.  I was just getting over the flue so all we did was venture out to carve our get our pumpkins and go to dinner.  Maybe next year we be mo0re eventful.  We still had a lot of fun though.
