date night

can i just say i love date nights?  it's true.  i love spending time with corey, just the two of us.  even if we are doing nothing.  last night was a date night, thanks to grandma & grandpa d.  we drove to boardman to catch an early movie (city of ember), and then we swung by the boardman park.  they had an event going on and there were all these carved pumpkins, so we checked them out.
they ranged from cute and funny...

nice little tribute to the nightmare before christmas

to a bit more sinister looking...
seeing all those pumpkins made me want to carve one, but we decided not to get pumpkins this year considering the pumpkin from last year is still disintegrating next to our front steps.  oops.

once we saw all the pumpkins, we were just walking around the park and we could hear stuff going on in the woods so we decided to take this trail.
and stumbled upon a haunted hay ride trail.  whoops.  so we high tailed it out of there.

from the park we headed over to tj max (my suggestion, obviously) where i scored a new lantern for my collection.  yeah!

after some starbucks hot chocolate we headed home to get the kids.  here's a picture of one.
it was a nice night.  nice and relaxing.  i'm already looking forward to the next one :)
