The projects never end...

Projects, projects, Projects. Regardless of what they are and if we ever get them done, we always have some project or another. Paul's latest project is a picture frame. He is building a 24x20in picture frame for our Temple picture that a group of friends gave to us when we got married. The poor guy is missing all of the tools that he had so readily available back in Utah. Some of you older folks might remember the old saws without electricity, the ones where you have to push and pull the saw over the wood to cut it. They still carry them in some stores and we were lucky enough to find one!!

My latest project is knitting. Paul bought me a kit and book on knitting for my birthday and I am now teaching myself to knit, or knot as I like to call the beginning stages. Although I have some ambidextrous qualities, I will always be a lefty at heart. I am trying to teach myself how to knit right-handed so that I won't have to knit any patterns, that I do try to tackle, backwards. As Elmo said on Sesame Street one morning, regarding the tortoise and the hare "Slow and steady... Slow and steady..." My knitting is knotting and my purling is pooling, but I still have hope. I will one day knit SOMETHING that will be recognizable.

Dallin's projects, of course, are ongoing. In fact, I don't think that his ever end. He is busy undoing everything that Paul and I do. He loves to unfold the laundry, but he does put it back in the basket for me. He loves to rearrange his dresser drawers, a rebel he is, putting the pants with the pajamas. But, I would have to say that his ALL-TIME favorite project is hanging my Pyrex casserole dishes on the wall. You may use your imagination on this one. Paul and I have become quite the power picker-uppers with this little goon running around.

Needless to say, we all keep quite busy.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Happy Halloween to everyone!! We had fun this year dressing Dallin up in a Chicken costume. Everyone called him Chicken Little, and for the fortunate one's, he did a little chicken dance. As per Duncan tradition, we carved a pumpkin and were very proud to display it on our porch. We thought that Dallin would get into the goey middle of the pumpkin, but he didn't want anything to do with it. I, Kristen, broke our digital camera a week ago, so we had to improvise with our methods of photography. We got some cute pics thanks to some friends and our trusty camcorder. We hope you all had a spooktacular night as well!!
