Fall Bucket List--Date Night and Pumpkin Pie--Check!

We are making great progress on our Fall Bucket List!  Last week we checked off two especially fun ones:  we baked a pumpkin pie and had a date night.

Last week we enjoyed making our first pumpkin pie (I know...I'm not sure how neither of us had ever made one before!), and then eating it.  It was surprisingly easy, turned out great, and was a great dessert to have and share.  Sean was one lucky recipient as I couldn't resist considering I see him most days at work and him and CJ are two of the people I know who like pumpkin pie more than anyone else.

turned out great!!

Last Friday, we had a date night out at the Seattle Rep.  I was especially excited about the play, Pullman Porter Blues, because the mom of two of my students wrote it.  Cheryl West is a playwright who has had plays and musicals all around the country, and this was truly an amazing one!!  We loved the music--lots of blues music--and learning so much more about the Pullman Porters.  It was an incredible show that we loved every minute of!
