Carving pumpkins...and halloween

So we carved pumpkins for FHE the Monday before Halloween and this is what we came up with.

I don't think it was such a bad turn out...Kambria had a ton of fun getting into the middle and pulling all the stuff out.

We just used the pumpkins Grandma MaryEllen had grown in her garden and the little pumpkins that Nonnie grew in her "garden" this year. I say "garden" because it was not a planned thing...the plant grew on its own in her front yard and she let it grow. It was fun to see how many little pumpkins Nonnie got! It was a blast to try and carve the little one too!!!

We went to our ward's Halloween party. They have a booth there that is a professional photographer so we will have to wait to get that picture back to see how good we really looked but here are a couple of less professional pictures.... Bryan and I were Animal doctors and Kambria was a chicken and Weston was a cow...he is not in these pictures...but we will get the professional ones soon and then you can see him!

This is Grandpa Don participating in the bobbing for gummy worms/eating contest!

We had fun bringing our pumpkins to the party and even got awards for them...Mine was the award of "Curds and Whey" since it was a carving of the spider. Bryan's got the award of "Plan of salvation/ temple work" since his was the carving of a dead person and a grave. And Kambria's got the award of "Old school rocks" since her was a typical triangle eyes, nose and squiggle mouth. MaryEllen didn't take hers to the party, but we thought it was cute too. It is the Frankenstein one! It was a fun time! Halloween is a fun time for me. I can not believe it is already come and gone and now it is November!!!! Time sure is flying when you are having fun!

This video is on Halloween night and is of Weston giggling. Half way through the video Weston discovered Dad taking the video and was not as giggly...but the beginning is what is typical when he is in a good mood...which is more than not!
