We were invited to a breakfast and pumpkin carving party Saturday morning. Jake was still out of town so it was nice to have something to do that was fun. Breakfast was great (breakfast casserole, buttermilk pancakes with THE BEST homemade syrup, bacon, sausage, pumpkin donuts, yogurt and granola... it was good!) and then carving pumpkins. Everett carved a lego batman looking thing into his and Breckie painted hers.
The seeds inside one of our pumpkins were sprouting already, it was pretty cool. They also had a whole roll of halloween drawings for the kids to color. Genius! Plus it was at a park so it was a really fun morning for all of us.
Then that evening was the ward trunk-or-treat. I had the best homemade chili ever. It was so rich and bacon-y and the cornbread I had was more like yellow cake (it actually might have been :). Delicious. There was homemade rootbeer and homemade macaroni and cheese for the chili haters (Everett and Roxy :)
There was a pie eating contest, cake walk, writing letters to the missionaries, guess how many candies are in the jar, a kid costume parade, and of course, the trunk-or-treat. It the easiest way to get tons of candy fast. My arm and shoulder were about to fall off by the end of the night because I had to hold Roxy the entire time. She's pretty much my permanent accessory!
