Halloween

I think last year we might just have established our pumpkin carving tradition; Kate and I clean/scoop and Ken carves.  Kate and I definitely got the better deal this year.  We bought organic pumpkins from the farmers market and they had the thickest exterior we'd ever seen.  Ken actually stabbed himself in the thumb.  He did however mangage to get both pumpkins carved.
















































Halloween is a big deal in our neighbourhood.  There are several families that go all out decorating the exteriors of their homes.  Kate and I went on a walk on Sunday afternoon to take pictures. 

The house above is across from ours.  Their house was one of the scariest.  They had someone sitting in the garage pretending to be a dummy.  When kids would come in to ask for candy he would jump up and scare them.  There were many screaming children all night - all with smiles on their faces!

The guy on the right is our neighbour Kevin.  He chased people, cars whoever up and down the street.  The guy on the left was the "dummy".


















Here is our humble abode.  Ken made the spider web with wool.  It looked really good.  Much better than the skeleton just hanging from the tree which really creeped me out.

And last but not least, Kate.  The first picture is pre-trick or treating.  The second is during and the third is a tired Kate enjoying the fruits of her labours.
