I don’t love Halloween. I just don’t get it. I don’t get all excited to dress up and ask people to give me candy. I do, however, love pumpkins – patches, carving, seeds, the whole thing. Soooooo this weekend the Skagens came over and we had dinner and carved pumpkins.

Getting mucky!
All done…
JT chose “three eyes, big nose, scary mouth” and that is what he got!
Then we went to the pumpkin patch and out to dinner with the Shucks. JT, Asher, and Abby enjoyed a ride in the wagon while Haley enjoyed a ride in my Moby Wrap.
Finally the big night arrived. Jim went to work and JT, Haley, and I turned off the house lights and pretended we weren’t home. Even with the lights off and one car gone, six different groups still had the… um… fortitude to ring our doorbell or knock. Poor Slider was on high alert all night long and finally stopped hovering near the front door around eight. JT did, however, wear his cool glow-in-the-dark pirate shirt. Check it out!
