Pumpkin Carving

We finally found a Saturday where we could make it to the pumpkin patch and get our pumpkins.  Every since we started carving pumpkins in girl scouts my girls have to carve a pumpkin each year.  It's really cool that they love it so much.  Pumpkin carving isn't something we did very much when I was young.  I only remember doing it once or twice, but it is becoming a family tradition for us.  The girls do a very good job of carving too.

Emily did a witches hat.  Erin did a laughing pumpkin and Marty did a traditional pumpkin.

Trick or Treating at Aunt Tammie's



Emily was a wood fairy this year. It took a few trys to find the one she wanted and the size that would fit but here she is.

Erin wanted to be Cleopatra. That was an easy one. Worked out good. It was cool seeing her with black hair.

Here are my two girls. Aren't they cute?

Okay this is my first attempt at putting video in my blog. This is a video of the crazy people that come out at a trunk and treat.

Beware!!!!

Exciting Weekend

Wow! What a fun weekend we had. Saturday evening my junior troop got together for our annual pumpkin carving. It is so much fun to watch the girls as they clean out their pumpkins and then to start work creating their master piece. Most of these girls started this when they were in second grade. As they have grown their skills have grown and we had some very awesome pumpkins this year.

Then there was the first annual Christ UMC Trunk n Treat. What an amazing turn out! I had my concerns but of course God took care of all of it. We had 8 trunks and 8 activities, plus music, a space walk and hot dogs with chips and drinks. They counted 170 people at 6:00 pm. There is no telling how many people went through total. I can't wait to plan next years event. Course I have to get through Christmas, Easter and VBS first.
