I should have been a professional hair cutter!

Big news: I cut Matt's hair with scissors, instead of the Buzzy, for the very first time! The time had come for a much needed haircut and for me to advance to cutting hair with scissors. Matt's new do turned out pretty hot if I do say so myself :) I mean, at least as good as Great Clips!

Mykel LeCheminant, RN, BS

Hooray! I'm a real, legalized nurse! I took NCLEX Wednesday, June 2nd at 8am. It went pretty well - I received the minimum amount of questions and was done in an hour and 20 min. Thank goodness (It can last up to 6 hours)!
The Story: Scores are suppose to post on dopl 48hours after you take NCLEX, yet Matt kept asking me if I'd checked my score. So, I finally gave in, checked dopl and low and behold, I showed up as a licensed nurse Thursday night - sooner than I had expected. I didn't think the government finished anything early!

Our Pumpkin Carving Escapade!

Matt surprised me with a pumpkin he bought for us at the store the other day. I was elated! However, we didn't get around to pumpkin carving until the day of halloween. We made a lil' monster on our pumpkin! Matt cut the top and I pulled out the guts - my favorite and Matt's least favorite part! Our jack-o-lantern turned out super cute:)

Halloweeners, Haunts, and Spooks!

In celebration of our undying love for halloween, Matt and I had a little party. On all Hallows eve, our guests arrived dressed for the occasion. Matt and I were the dynamic duo, Batman and Robin. After a day of cooking, we served "Death's Delight." We had pig intestines (noodles) with bile (Alfredo sauce) and coagulated blood (spaghetti sauce), Mummies (basically stuffed calzones wrapped like mummies),Human flesh (BBQ'd ribs), Witches' brew, etc. Everyone had a silly curse which added to the dining experience, such as yelling a pizza topping whenever someone stood up or always rolling your R's. We played mysterious games and watched a scary movie. It was so fun to dress up, decorate the house, and relish in halloween! Unfortunately, we did not get ANY trick-or-treaters, MUCH to my dismay. We had anxiously bought a cauldron and filled it with treats. However, we ended up eating the candy ourselves. It was such a fun night and we are so lucky to have great friends to share it with! Viva Halloween!
Special Thanks to Mrs. Cate for the lovely photos!
