Carving the Pumpkins

Before last year I had never carved a pumpkin. When my FIL heard this he decided it was time to start a tradition. So he bought pumpkins and spent an afternoon carving away.

It continues with this year. FIL bought 8 pumpkins and brought them to the house today. We carved four of them. I got a few pics of Lil' Red working on his but unfortunately didn't get any of him actually carving. Oops on my part. I'm hoping the pics of him working will be alright. Enjoy!

Baby Girl decided she wanted to sleep more than she wanted to mess with a messy pumpkin. ;) haha

Pics of Lil' Red working hard:

Dig! Dig! Dig!

"Mom, my hand hurts!"

Hubby got into it too:

Pics of them with the lights off:

Close up, well, closer:

From left to right: FIL~Spider, Mine~Witch, Lil' Red~Ghost, and Hubby's~Skull.

Lil' Red had a great time. We still have four more to go so I think it might be something to do with my neices too. Unfortunately I'm going to be a little selfish and ask my sister to buy their own pumpkins. There's another pattern I want to do. :)

In other news: I rented Transformers. The new movie. I thought it was great. Loved all the action and special effects were awesome! Must see if you have a sense of humor like mine! :) On the other hand, Hubby watched the series back in the 80's and he didn't like the movie. He said that things were too messed up for him and it couldn't keep his attention.

Also rented Evan Almighty. It was ok. I thought Bruce Almighty was better. Don't get me wrong I laughed in parts but not as much as with the first one.

Went to Haunted Houses last night. Talk about FUN!!! The one that had Jigsaw really disappointed me. If I blinked I would have missed it. The cool thing about these now was some parts were 3D. They gave you glasses and it would so freak you out! Especially the room with all the big circles and then one of the circles would come out at you and scream! I was kind of buzzing so it seemed cooler I guess to me or maybe that took it all away. I don't know but I had a blast! The best one we went to was in the basement of an old courthouse. Part of the floor was uneven dirt. It was so creepy. There were exposed gas and water lines everywhere and you really had to watch your head plus your feet. I was only chased a couple of three times. There was a group of girls in front of us and one of them would say "Hi!" to them as she went by. They already knew they were seen by the closest ones behind them. Bummer. She took some of that away from the experience.

What do you think? Would it bug you that someone would do that? If you payed $20 to get in (of course that was a combo ticket), would you be upset?

My friend was upset about it at the time and looking back I'm bumming about it too. At any rate we had a good dinner, got scared an awful lot, and went to the casino. I wasn't ready to go home! haha

Not a whole lot going on...

so I'll just ramble. hehe Watched Fantastic 4: The Rise of the Silver Surfer today. I give it an ok. I think the first was better.

I'm getting excited going to go to Haunted Houses Sat with my best friend. We're going to one where they'll have Jigsaw. I'm just curious how they're going to do that. :) We shall see and come Sunday or Monday I should have some funny stories! Cause everyone knows that I'm going to be scared to death. ;)
