Halloween

 This is the Jack-o-lantern Lauren carved - she didn't cut it out hoping that when a light was lit it would shine through.  But the walls of the pumpkin were way too thick to see a tiny tea light.  She carved a measure of music.

 Our traditional Halloween dinner!

 Pizza with a jack-o-lantern face on it. 

The kind of pizza can vary from year to year, but the face is always there.

 Every kid's favorite - Jello Jigglers!

 Heck, we even threw in a salad for a little bit of nutrition!

 And we ALWAYS have sugar cookies shaped like pumpkins, bats, and ghosts!

 

 Here's what my jack-o-lantern looked like.  Why the HUGE nose you ask.  Well it's because I carved the pumpkin that Lauren had used for an activity with her church group on Tuesday night.  They played pin the nose on the pumpkin and she had drawn a bulls eye with rings around it with points.  So when I carved the pumpkin I just followed the face she'd already drawn on it with Sharpie the Tuesday before.

 

Here's what Lauren's looked like all lit up!

Unfortunately it was rainy and cold here for Halloween so we didn't end up having many trick-or-treaters.  Now we have a lot of left-over candy.  Darn!
