Halloween 2009 part 2

Look how huge these pumpkins are! Our pumpkin patterns were too little, so Dan and Mike projected the patterns onto them and outlined them with a sharpie marker. They used power tools to cut through them. They were so thick!
We had our annual pumpkin carving party, and here are a few of the foods. My personal favorite...the kitty litter made by my friend Jo (a plethora of cake, pudding, and tootsie rolls)...doesn't it look real? GROSS! I love it. It was hilarious seeing people's faces as they walked by.
Here are a few pictures of the event. We had a blast! We carved in the garage, and I hope everyone had a good time.
It's so fun to take the kids trick or treating. It is surreal to think that I have kids old enough for this. I don't feel old enough for that! :) Oaklyn was a witch this year, but she wanted to be a "good witch," not a scary witch. Connelly was Batman, and little Londyn was a clown.
Here's the invitation that I designed. Only 364 days before Halloween again!
