Haaaaaalloween is coming!

This weekend Trav & I and my sister and brother-in-law went on a hunt for some nice plump pumpkins. We found the perfect ones to carve. We made it a little party and bought some candy, gathered supplies and turned on the Red Sox game (for the boys) and got to carvin. It was so much fun! It has been a little while since I have done this so it was lots of fun! Here is my finished product: (You may be looking at it like I am such an amazing pumpkin carver, but we actually bought stencils so we took the easy way out :)

Here is Trav's finished product.


We also bought the fake candles to place inside the pumpkins to give them the full effect! They are on our porch. We love them!

So Cute! I have carved enough pumpkins to know it's not that easy to make them look Martha Stewartish. Great job.I will be in Thailand when the baby comes. I hope all goes well and I will be thinking about you and Travis at this amazing time in your lives. The day I had my kids were some of the best days of my life. Enjoy it all....even the pain. Love you guys.
