Pumpkin Carving 2011

Yes, we waited until the last minute... on Halloween night... to carve our pumpkins this year.  But, it did get done. : )  The kids had a blast!

Here are some pictures and a video of the event.

[we had the kids draw what they wanted and then Mike and I carved them]

[one of my friends once said something like... if you don't have a good shot choose the worst one (or something like that).  told her i might use the saying and today was the day!]

Eli did have his Halloween party at school today, too.  But, it really wasn't something that all parents were invited to and he just packed his costume along.  So, no pictures to share.  He said it was fun though and he got even more candy!  Unfortunately, he forgot I packed candy for him to hand out to the class.  Looks like we have even more candy here now.

It was a very fun Halloween! : )
