The Sixth Annual Pumpkin Carving Party

We have again successfully carried off another Pumpkin Carving Party and Competition. It was another wonderful evening with friends that we see too seldom. I think everyone had a good time and we accomplished the goal of getting most of our eleven pumpkins turned to Jack-o-Lanterns.

There was once again more than enough food and the house looks pretty good with a majority of our decorations out. In another week, it will all be over for another year.

It was a rainy weekend and it appears that is going to be the case through the week. It's still too early to figure out what it will be like on Halloween so I'm not going to worry about it. The only problem with rain is that it limits some of our decorations. And it is slightly more miserable to be out there handing out candy.

Here are some pictures of the event.








Our winners this year were Dave for the Funniest, John for the Scariest, Zak for Most Creative, Hailey for the Best of Show, and Katie for Most Inept Use of a Knife. You can see Hailey above working on her creation.

Finally, I have a one minute video to offer up of the Scary Halloween House.
