Smells like Halloween

Well, at least is smells like dead pumpkins. Dead pumpkins, isn't that funny. I told the kids that was what is smelled like while they were cleaning their pumpkins out. Along with the cookies we were baking also. We made quite a selection of cookies, chocolate chip, white chocolate macadamia, and peanut butter. Anyway, back to the pumpkins. Rusty called me at work today and said "Oh, my gosh, we haven't done our pumpkins yet and tomorrow is Halloween." We have never waited this long to do them, I'm not sure where the time has gone but we are so busy and it seems like we are never home. Rusty said when he got home he would start on the pumpkins, he had football practice so he wasn't going to have much time. When I got home I just had to laugh. He started the pumpkins, his pumpkin.

If you can't tell what is on his pumpkin, it's a Redskins helmet with the Redskins emblem on the side of it. What else did you think would on his pumpkin?

Blake and Wayne started working on their pumpkins, Wayne doing the cutting and then both of them doing the cleaning out. Ashleigh was at work. Blake made a liar out of me this year, normally he doesn't like to clean out his pumpkin but this year he was buried up to his elbows in pumpkin guts.

And drum roll please, the finished product.......

This is Blake's, Rusty helped him.

This is Wayne's. He was really unhappy with it, this was not what he had wanted to do but the other thing did not turn out so he had to do another one. I think it turned out nice.

Wayne will be handing out candy tomorrow and Ashleigh is hanging out with her friends here at home. Normally, my Mom and Dad come up and Mom goes with me and Blake and Dad helps Rusty hand out candy. I think they eat more than they hand out but they do have a great time. I think Mom will still be up but it won't be the same without Dad here. Steven came last year and took Wayne to see Saw II, he wanted to do that tomorrow and go see Saw III but I don't know if they will because Steven has to be up so early on Wednesday for work.

A little update, Blake's teacher loved his project and he said everyone clapped when he finished giving his presentation so he was very happy.

Good night.
