Our Pumpkin Carving Escapade!



Matt surprised me with a pumpkin he bought for us at the store the other day. I was elated! However, we didn't get around to pumpkin carving until the day of halloween. We made a lil' monster on our pumpkin! Matt cut the top and I pulled out the guts - my favorite and Matt's least favorite part! Our jack-o-lantern turned out super cute:)

Halloweeners, Haunts, and Spooks!





In celebration of our undying love for halloween, Matt and I had a little party. On all Hallows eve, our guests arrived dressed for the occasion. Matt and I were the dynamic duo, Batman and Robin. After a day of cooking, we served "Death's Delight." We had pig intestines (noodles) with bile (Alfredo sauce) and coagulated blood (spaghetti sauce), Mummies (basically stuffed calzones wrapped like mummies),Human flesh (BBQ'd ribs), Witches' brew, etc. Everyone had a silly curse which added to the dining experience, such as yelling a pizza topping whenever someone stood up or always rolling your R's. We played mysterious games and watched a scary movie. It was so fun to dress up, decorate the house, and relish in halloween! Unfortunately, we did not get ANY trick-or-treaters, MUCH to my dismay. We had anxiously bought a cauldron and filled it with treats. However, we ended up eating the candy ourselves. It was such a fun night and we are so lucky to have great friends to share it with! Viva Halloween!
Special Thanks to Mrs. Cate for the lovely photos!
