our annual carving fiesta

What would Halloween be without a freshly carved jack lit up on your porch? – boring, eh?  On the Thursday before goblin day, we continued (for the 2nd year) our tradition of hosting a carving party for a few of our friends…the Hallmarks, Stewarts, & Brinlees joined us.  Before we got down & dirty with our pumpkins, we ate a few festive munchies …caramel apples, gummy fingers ‘n’ eyeballs, candy teeth, and a little bit o’ witches brew (aka: taco soup).

While the daddies worked on de-seeding & un-gooing the insides of our carving pumpkins, mommy helped us munchkins to decorate our very own mini-jacks.  We used puff balls, wiggly eyes, & bandanas to turn our pumpkins into some not-so-scary jack-o-lanterns.  Then, we helped our dads to carve our pumpkins… they turned out FABULOUS! 

Unfortunately, the Texas Rangers were not so successful that night in Game 6 of the World Series… we kept our eyes on the game all night, cheering them on… but they lost the game in extra innings by a score of 9 to 10… boo!

We had a great time with our friends & we all had snazzy jack-o-lanterns gracing our porches on Halloween night.
