The Hunger Games!

Jared and I started reading The Hunger Games over Thanksgiving break, and if I do say so myself, I think we've become addicted. We're only about 180 pages into it, so we have another 200 to go, but so far we're thoroughly enjoying it! So, if you're looking for a good book to start, or an easy read, this book is the book for you!

Hallo-Smallo-What-cha-ma-call-o-ween!

It's Pumpkin Carving Time! We were prepared like no other with enough Daily Universes to protect our whole living room from the pumpkin gut throwing fight that I wish we had.



Jared and I had a great Halloween together this year. It wasn't much, and we homework/ work sort of consumed the holiday weekend, but all and all it was good. We watched a super scary episode of Fringe on Halloween Eve, and I feel alseep with a certain anxiety only Halloween could yield. Best part of the weekend was carving pumpkins! Jared went all out on the Darth Vader- I on the other hand stuck with the traditional Barnhart pumpkin carving.
We also had our very first trick-or-treaters (Well, my very first trick or treaters)......I was so looking forward to the adorable primary children from our ward coming to our door, but none of them did :( Wymount did their trick or treat at Heritage Halls this year. So our tricksters were a group of 13-17 year olds....who were loud, late, and had pillowcases as candy bags. The one boy had a certain stench to him too........Can you tell I'm not familiar with this particular Halloween tradition....and to be honest I don't mind. Looters, that's what they were- and they weren't even dressed up. We didn't have any candy, but I had made cookies earlier for a lady in my ward, and had some left over. So I let them have some, they didn't even say thank you! Poor Jared didn't even get one. I just felt like those teenagers should have been supervised by an adult, a real adult. And just felt like it was rude for them to be going around Wymount (poor college students with little babies) at 9:30 at night. (That's why I think they should have had adult supervision)......
Perhaps I'm being over dramatic, but just didn't like the feeling they left us with.

Well....Halloween isn't all bad. But I do think I'm a bit of a Scrooge when it comes to Halloween. I could say more as to why I feel this way, but I won't.

Here's the positive side of Halloween for me....
- Pumpkins
- Yummy Treats
- playing dress up (not the creepy costumes)
-Fun times with Family
- Awesome quilt Dolores made us!
(shown below! I love how happy it is!)

I hope you had a "Happy" Halloween.
To the unhappy parts, "baa-humbug".
Until next year.

Our New Blog!!! Woo-Hoo!

This is the official first blog of the Tabitha and Jared Weed Family....or Jared and Tabitha Weed Family.....the only reason my name didn't win first place is because it ends in "a" and the word "and" starts with "a". Well, this blog is hopefully going to be a better success than my other blog...I'm not very good at this blogging thing...but I think it's fun to keep up with people's lives and especially their babies :) Someday we'll have one of those and our blog traffic will increase, but until then, I hope you enjoy following us not-so-boring newlyweds....and newlyweeds (that's me).
