It SNOWED!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

I hope you all had a fun Halloween.  This year was a little different for us.  We only had one child go Trick-or-Treating and this year he didn't need mom or dad to go with him.  It was just Adam and his friends and they were off.  David stayed home and wasn't sure quite what to do since he is always out with the kids on Halloween.  He got to watch the World Series though which was pretty fun!!

It's Adam's last year at Elementary school and his last year having a Halloween Parade.  Here's a picture (Adam is the ref)   :-)

Another strange thing about this year was that Rebecca and Adam didn't want to carve pumpkins.  I asked Rachel if she would carve a small one for Grandma and Grandpa and this is what she carved.

CUTE HUH?

While she was carving that, David asked her if she wanted to carve one for his pumpkin carving contest at work.  If she won, it would be $25.  This is what she carved.

Can you tell it's Trump?  She came in 2nd place.

At this point I decided to do Adam's since he didn't want to so I carved this....

Rachel decided that she really likes carving pumpkins so she did Rebecca's and then headed to the store to buy some more pumpkins.  I think she did 6 in all.

If you are familiar with The Avatar, The Last Airbender, you will recognize the middle two.  The top one is from Star Wars as is this last one.... Yoda.  I think the Yoda is the best one!!  David said she would have definitely won his contest if she had done that one first.

I like to fix a fun Halloween dinner so this year we had Bat Wings (Chicken Wings), Pirate's Gold (carrot slices), Spider Web walking taco dip, and Swamp Juice.  It was delicious.  

Here is a picture of Adam and his friends after they were done Trick-or-Treating.  They were gone for about 3 hours and came home with sooooooo much candy.  Oh dear!!
