Spooky Stuff ;)




So nevermind that the pictures are lacking order... for some reason I have a hard time getting pics in the right place with Mozilla, but like to use it to blog because of the integrated spell check feature ;) (yes, it is that hard to just push a spell-check button). But of course I tried to use iexplorer to mess around with the picture order, but it is messing with me and not loading... grrr... so anyway... you will see the completed pumpkins here before the carving pictures... The pretty girly pumpkin is mine, all mine ;) It just didn't look quite as fancy glowing. Maria's is the next one here, she started out trying for one of the fancy template designs, but she chose a particularly difficult one, so decided to just free hand it here and it turned out great.













And Mike's turned out the scariest! Duncan was checking out those big teeth! On the other side of the scary one, Mike carved one of the template designs, its a wolf howling at the moon! And as much as we love pumpkin carving around here we love roasting those seeds even more! They turned out yummy!



We did most of our trick-or-treating in Winter this year, more houses to go to. The kids had a blast! Duncan actually said "trick-or-treat" a few times, it was between houses, but with all the houses decorated and people dressed up, he was a little preoccupied ;) We did get him to say "thank you" a few times though.
The funny thing was that last year the first house we went to Duncan just ran right in and made himself at home, of course the old couple had invited us in, but it was just funny the way he went right in and sat on the couch. This year it was the last house we went to and he did the same exact thing, ran right in and sat on the couch! The lady got a big kick out of him and he actually told her trick or treat and thank you. And she gave him a big kiss and an extra piece of candy :)

What fun pictures!!! It looks like everyone had a great time trick or treating, I hope you got lots of good stuff. Riley was most excited for a nickel and a little thing of play doh :) Kids are so funny. I love the video of Beatrice walking, too cute!

Great pumpkins and customes! As always, cute pics of the kiddo's.

I always have trouble getting the pictures where I want them, doesn't seem to matter if I use IE or Foxfire. I prefer IE, seems better-faster, and I like the font better with it; but have both loading on the puter.

Thanks so much for the kind words regarding mom, updates have been posted.
