Carving Jack-O-Lanterns

One of our favorite things to do as a family is carve pumpkins. Our kids love scooping all the pumpkin goop out. For some reason, they think that is the coolest thing ever. We carved some really cool ones this year. We still have a couple more to carve in the next day or so, but here are our creations so far:


Grandma Call's Annual Halloween Party

My Grandma Call throws the best Halloween Party in the whole world. She plans all year long for it. She sends out pre-invitations and official invitations. She always has tons of really good food and dessert. This year was Mexican food with Tacos, Quesadillas and all kinds of good stuff. The kids all get to play BOO-Bingo and win lots of candy and prizes. This year she had a carnival. All the kids each got a handful of tickets and could play all the games they wanted and win prizes and candy. Our kids had a blast! The funnest game this year was one where two people compete against each by shooting water out of a spray bottle across the room at a strip of toilet paper and the one to get their paper to break first wins. It was a lot of fun. Thank-you grandma for all of your hard work and for another very fun and successful Party. We love you!

Our kids' costumes this year

Carter wanted to be a storm trooper really bad, but we told him he couldn't wear a mask so his second choice was to be a firefighter. He is pretty excited about his costume, because we found him some cool real kid-size firefighter turn-outs and he is wearing my old helmet and some real boots that I found in his size. Cambree wanted to be the little mermaid. She wanted a red wig, but we told her she could just be a cute blonde mermaid instead. Calee is a cute little pink fairy princess.
