hApPy hAlLoWeEn!!


This Wednesday I didn't have school, so we took advantage of the free night and carved pumpkins with the family! First of all everyone needs to understand that Dad grew all of the pumpkins that we carved and they were all huge. Mine was not even the biggest and it took Devin and my dad to carry it to the porch. I pratically had to crawl into it to get all the guts out.
As most of you might know our dearest Katharine is having "lil' Arch" soon and we are all hoping that she has him on Halloween because Alex was born on St. Patricks day. So for Ben's pumpkin he carved an amazing stork carrying "lil' Arch" in a blanket. It's adorable. Kristen finally prefected she scary yet very cleaver jack-o-lantern. Kate did a Nightmare Before Christmas pumpkin. Devin carved three pumpkins into his pumpkin. Dad did a great jack-o-lantern as well and then I did a silly face that took me FOREVER to carve.
It was one of our events in a decathlon we have been doing for the past few weeks! It's been a blast! We chose 10 events and the winner gets a prize! Most of our events were some sort of boardgame. We decided to spice it up and had pumpkin carving and a bake-off for two of the events. Unfortunately the decathlon is drawing to an end but it has been so much fun! Not to mention getting to know everyone's true competitive side...except for Ben's....whose competitive side is already known to all! :)
