Halloween

In the spirit of Halloween, we had our Life Group over for pumpkin carving, apple cider, and caramel-chocolate apples.  It was a great night. 

Kolby's pumpkin.  You can probably guess where his design is headed.

This is Chris.  He's our friend that lives in our garage.  And he can carve a mean pumpkin.

We had several prizes.  You can see how enthusiastic Mike is about his lambskin seat belt shoulder pad.

Kolby's finished product.  It's the Rangers claw.  He won a special edition DVD of Harry and the Hendersons. 

On Halloween night, my mom helped me hold down the home front with the trick-or-treaters while my dad and Kolby went to the World Series game.  I discovered that I was completely unable to resist the temptation to guess what the kids' costumes were, and I never guessed right one single time.  One time I guessed a fairy and the girl informed me that she was Tinker Bell.  So the next fairy that came around, I politely asked if she was a fairy or Tinker Bell.  The little 4-year old girl not-so-politely told me that no, she was the queen of the butterfly princesses.  Obviously.

Now we're ready for Thanksgiving!
