Pumpkin carving and Halloween 2010

This year we carved 3 pumpkins. The kids picked the patterns but since they don't like putting their hands inside a gooey pumpkin and don't carve well (or safely) Scott and I did the carving. Holly opted to draw a face with a Sharpee marker on a small pumpkin and was satisfied.

Emily's little pumpkin (she did the carving), Scott's spongebob, my penguin and Scott's peace sign pumpkin

Happy kids posing with their carved pumpkins.

Checking in at Microsoft for Trick or Treating (Friday the 29th at 4:00pm). Notice the cute bags from Grandma.

Checking out Dad's office with a window.Trick or treating down the many hallways at Microsoft. People who wanted trick or treaters put a chair outside their door with candy on it. This was Nathan's first time to trick or treat and he loved collecting all the candy. But he kept trying to take more than one piece from each bowl.
I made this fishing booth for the trunk or treat. Holly and Scott painted the seaweed. The Beehives were in charge of running it.
My brother Andrew, his wife and son joined us at our ward trunk or treat.
Whack a Ghoul, fun for the wackers not so much the whackees. The Deacons ran this booth.
Emily working wonders with her cotton candy machine. Everyone was impressed that we were related to the people who did the cotton candy.

Melissa thought it was mighty tastey.

Scott and the kids in the truck awaiting trunk or treaters. Nathan wore his costume to Microsoft and wouldn't put it on again for the Sat. trunk or treat

Today I'm thankful that

*we have two working computers (can't say the same for our one finicky printer)

*we had a great Halloween even though we didn't trick or treat on the actual day

*Nathan watches TV and gives me a break which is great since he doesn't nap
