hey there, pumpkin. care for a cupcake?

this past weekend, we enjoyed our two favorite Halloween traditions. 1 - carving pumpkins; and 2 - decorating halloween cupcakes/cookies.

saturday, we had Mike, Janica, and Elizabeth over for pumpkin carving. we had a "nacho bar." pretty much the best thing ever.

(chips, guacamole, onions, jalapenos, olives, tomatos, sour cream, chorizo, queso, and hot sauce.)

Janica finished first, as usual. and without a pattern or using a marker, she always makes perfect pumpkins!! Mike won't carve with us, he thinks we'll tease him. i don't know where he would get such an idea!



Gabe took the longest, as usual. And his was another work of art. He did the angry scarecrow...


the whole gang - all lit up.

Janica's cute spooked pumpkin!

We spent Sunday with momma Linda, decorating cupcakes and cookies with Aunt Kim and cousin Kiera (kim's granddaughter).



Kiera was such a good decorator. and she's remarkably good at sneaking candy after Kim has told her no more!! (notice she's got a candy corn in her hand....)

sweet girl.

behold the delicious fruits of our labor:


are we seriously almost done with October??
