MWAH-HA-HA-HA

(evil scary laugh)

This is our scary Halloween house and our gigantic pet spider that eats little trick-or-treaters!

Come and try trick-or-treating us....ha ha ha ha ha.

Last night was our annual neighborhood Halloween Carnival-going on 30 years now. It is always a ton of fun with food, games, and lots of friends. Every year it amazes me how many people come to our neighborhood to party with us. We never get an exact count, but the guy in charge of the soda said he sold 850 cans of soda, so I guess that's a good estimation of how many people really show up!

This year we had a pumpkin carving contest. Dallin and his friend Gavin painted one of the pumpkins (very abstract), then they helped me carve another one. (Okay, so they picked the design, I did most of the carving, and they ooohed and ahhhed). We ended up winning first prize in the "Over 30" category! Guess what we won??? A pumpkin pie!

Dallin is a football player this year (he wants to be just like Brady)

and Maura is a bumble bee. It seemed appropriate given her "busy" personality.

Happy Halloween!
