Halloween 2009

Tonight, we carved our pumpkin AND roasted seeds. We used cayenne pepper and seasoned salt for the seeds and OH. EM. GEE they turned out sooooo good. And our pumpkin? We got fancy and used one of those patterns (rather than just carving the traditional face), and not counting a mishap that required some crazy glue (and the ultimate "blonde moment"--which is funny 'cuz April is a brunette and hell, MY natural color isn't even blonde anymore), we think it turned out pretty damn good. We had to take this photo at a particular angle so the flame inside didn't cause a "flash" in the picture, but you can still get the overall effect.

This close-up allows you to see the intricate detailing of the bottom bat. I know, you're jealous. As well you should be.

LOLOLOL. Very jealous :-) It looks really cool. Why didn't you EACH carve a pumpkin? We haven't carved ours yet. I have a feeling it won't get done til Halloween morning.

You can't just tease us with telling us there was the ultimate blonde moment and then not telling us what happened!

Mmmmmm, pumpkin seeds! Can't wait :-)

I went on the wettest, grossest, rainiest fieldtrip to the pumpkin farm with Brent's class today. This was the third date; kept rescheduling because of rain and finally today they just said F it, we'll go anyway.

My point was, I can't even TELL you how many girls I heard saying "Oh Em Gee!" Seriously. 5 third grade classes. I was about ready to smack the next girl that said it :-)
