And thinking about Halloween (which they don't celebrate here). Of course we will still manage to celebrate with friends, so I have been thinking about what to dress Shane in for his first Halloween, and seeing adorable costumes like this online that I wish he could wear
So no, we won't be doing things like this this year,
But they do have pumpkins at the market. Only you buy them like this. It seems more like a cantaloupe then a pumpkin. See?

And they're not orange on the outside either.
But, I did try turning it into pumpkin bread for Josh, and pumpkin dump cake for me, and it sure tastes like our pumpkins. It pretty much made my month, because I am also slightly obsessed with all things pumpkin, especially in October and November. So no, I won't be going to any haunted houses and there won't be any decorations at any of the stores here and I won't be doing some of your traditional fall activies, but I will make little moments when I can, and remember that you can never go wrong with doing this every day:
Especially come January!

You are dark Kelly!
hot pic kelly!! i know i'd feel the same way if i were in your spot, but because i'm not i know i'll be jealous during the really cold days that i'm not on the beach like you!! :)
I miss Fall in Utah, too. I did hear that Mother Nature pretty much skipped Fall this year and went straight to Winter, so I guess being here is okay...as long as you've got pumpkin goodies. :) I'd love to get the pumpkin cake recipe from you sometime!
i love that last pic! from #1 beach right? :) you know everyone is jealous! you will be back for fall sooner than you know it, but hardly anyone gets to skip fall to live in paradise for a year and a half! :)
I am missing Utah fall also. At least Everyone here still celebrates things but I do miss the chrisp fall air and changing leafs.
Your tan reminds me of when we would lay out together at Sparks and you would get tan, and I wouldn't. I'm sad you won't get to celebrate Halloween, but at least you still get yummy pumpkin foods. Jamba Juice has this new Smashed pumpkin smoothie... It's like drinking pumpkin pie filling. You should try making something like it with your sliced pumpkin!
In malaysia we carved watermellon's and when you have the lights off no one can tell in pictures and then you take a picture with the light on and it's super funny. For the record, it's much easier to carve a watermellon than a pumpkin. Change up the traditions my friend.
yeah! it is so true :) LOVE this post- I am going to post my "haunted" house last year :) then everyone will know how cool I can be when not on the island!
Well said, KJ!!!
