Halloween.

Another fun Halloween comes to a close. This one much more fun than last year. Last year I was in the hospital more sick and more sore than I can ever remember being in my entire life. It was worth it though to have my little buddy.
We went to a few fun Halloween parties. I dressed up this year for the first time since college. My cousin Chelsea had a super fun party and we were supposed to dress up. I was a good sport and put a costume on. It wasn't all that bad. I found a comfortable one. Dressing up is not my favorite part of this holiday. I do like seeing the kids in their costumes though. There were some good ones this year. I am sad not all of my pictures turned out, but a few of them did.

My favorite party of Halloween would be the smells, the food, the pumpkins, fall leaves and hanging out with friends and family. What perfect weather too. Do you remember the days when you had to wear coats over your costume? Kids these days don't know how well they have it.... how nice global warming can be sometimes.
My mom always has a big open house Halloween party. She makes a huge pot of chili for anyone who wants to come. We show up at her house early to make cookies, carve pumpkins and get ready for the party. It was another great year and the party was well attended.

Would you like some salt and pepper with your lobster?

Sean and Chelsea had great costumes.

Little Mermaid and Sebastian.

I love carving pumpkins. Especially since my dad cleans them out for us.

Brady was so excited to make steaming rootbeer.

Hess is such a stud. Next to my lobster, this was my favorite.
I hope it fits Warren next year.

Whit and Beck won the carving contest.
