Halloween Festivities

We started off our Halloween celebration a week early with a party at our friends' house. We ate tons of good food, played some fun games, and carved some spooky pumpkins.

Not everyone is pictured here, but aren't those sumo costumes hilarious?! Todd was dying in his, so we had to take this picture quick so that he could change out of it.



Abe pinned some clothes to himself and went as "static cling." I was a "ceiling fan." Go Ceilings!



Abe carved a pretty cool pumpkin. We actually used one of those stencil things because we wanted to go beyond our traditional triangle eye, jagged mouth pumpkin. In case you can't quite tell, its a ghost with "BOO!" carved under it.

Some people, on the other hand, weren't quite so lucky with their pumpkin. For some reason Todd and Cam's pumpkin was as hard as a rock- literally. Nothing was working to carve it, and they kept breaking knives, so they had to break out a hammer and chisel!! No joke.


Here are all the finished products. The one on the far left is the one they had to use the hammer and chisel for.... can you tell??

Thanks so much for such a fun party Briana, we had a blast!!
