Looking Back At HALLOWEEN

Seems like the month of October has come and gone so quickly. The week of Halloween especially seemed busy with party's, pumpkin carving, school events, cookie decorating, and even a Halloween piano recital.

Blake's Mr. Pumpkin was FULL of seeds this year. ( or as he would say it, "full of guts") It took him a good HOUR to scrape this one clean.

Leave it to Steve to master his pumpkin carving skills by using a chain saw or something of sorts to help the kids carve their pumpkin's.

Blake's creative masterpiece.

I LOVE baked pumpkin seeds. After we saw how many seeds we had to work with, I got the butter & garlic ready with a sprinkle of Johny's seasoning and baked em. Yum! They were tasty.

One of the the other things we did the week of Halloween is have our friends the Jorgensen's over for our annual "GHOOOOOLISH GOURMET." We have done this with them the past few years and it has turned into a family favorite. Each year we pick a new featured menu item and enjoy an evening together. The kids absolutely LOVE it! They're always a bit leery of what will be served as they read the menu and try to figure out what each item will be because.........YOU GET WHAT YOU ORDER.

Gearing up for a bit of "witches brew."

Blake and Wes finished off the evening by enjoying their "dirt n worms."

The kids were off from school on Friday, but had their Halloween piano recital. It was fun to see all the students in their Halloween costumes and not to mention playing all Halloween music. When our piano teacher moved a while back, we were in search for a new one and really hit the jackpot. We LOVE her! ( even if we do have to drive almost into Meridian, it's worth it)
She even dressed up for the occasion herself. Gotta love it.

Happy Halloween 2008!
