Halloween 2011

Brian volunteered to carve our pumpkin this year and was quite organized about it by sketching out a design on paper first before getting started on the actual carving process. Here he is digging the seeds out of his pumpkin ... which mom later cleaned and roasted in the oven. Ian and Ashley both enjoyed eating the seeds which took mom by surprise!

carefully carving the mouth as the Jack-o-Lantern is nearly finished

finished! and it looks just like the sketch

Brian was also very helpful in putting up some spooky decorations on our front windows

later we attended the Embassy Halloween party and Ian, Ashley & mom helped run some games

setting up for the balloon stomping game

the TP in the background is for the mummy wrapping game

fun playing dress up with friends

Ian volunteered to pass out the candy to all the trick-or-treaters who came by our house

I think there were between 150-175

Happy Halloween!!
