Crazy Carrots

OK, so who knew carrots could get this big!!??? It fits across the full width of my counter with a little bit hanging off each end. A total of 3 ft. 3 inches from the tip of the green to the bottom of the root. Crazy!!! I pulled the last row of carrots out of the garden this morning and that was the biggest root I've ever seen. That last row completes the harvest out of the garden for this year.

Costumes and Loot

Here's Garrett as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Tiffani as a black cat. Unfortunately she lost her ears sometime during the night so we need to look for those today. We had fun trunk-or-treating with Katie and her kids and then going around our neighborhoods.

The Final Carving Product

Here's what those pumpkins finished looks are!!!

Carving Pumpkins

Carving pumpkins is always an adventure. The kids didn't really want any of the carving pictures from those books you can buy, so we printed out our own!! Tiff did Ariel and Garrett did Star Wars. I printed off Mickey Mouse but as of today, Halloween, my pumpkin is whole and uncut. We'll see if it gets carved.

We had a great time carving pumpkins -- especially glad that Grandma Maddy came and helped or else we'd still be carving!!

Halloween Parties 2009

We had our 3rd annual Halloween party and it was a SMASH as usual. A few days before we tie-dyed halloween shirts and decorated them. So fun.
