Happy Halloween!!!

We had a decently uneventful week this week. I worked a lot. Tom worked on school work and worked at night. We tried to get little things done around the house, but not much really got done. I had my usual Friday night football game, which by the way was a monsoon! It rained buckets and the guys were pretty much playing on a mud slip and slide. I only had one kid really get hurt so I guess it wasn't that bad and my Gortex kept me pretty dry. The soccer game that was schedule for Saturday did get rained out due to how muddy and tore up the field was. That meant for the first time this month, I had a two day weekend!!!! Saturday was a complete lazy recovery day. We got up and watched The Biggest Loser and then a movie, Sunshine Cleaning. We took the dogs for a walk, went to the store to get candy for the trick or treaters and then carved our pumpkin. Then back to laying around watching TV. We did light a fire in the fireplace though.


Tom getting his hands dirty. We picked out all the seeds and I made Tom toasted pumpkin seeds. It's his favorite time of year just for that.

Riley kept wanting to steal the pumpkin guts. She got away with a couple of hunks of it. Here she is eyeing the topper... :)

I drew the scary face and Tom carved it. It took a long time because of all the little curves and detail, but it turned out really cool.

The finished product!!! All lit up and spooky!!!

We only had about 5 sets of kids come to the door. The first group was two little girls and their mom. The little girl was telling Tom how cool his pumpkin was and that she thought he should be a professional and next year she is coming to our house before Halloween and paying him $50 for a pumpkin! She was soooo cute!!!
