We hosted the third (our second) annual pumpkin carving extravaganza over the weekend. The founding folks were all there - David & me, Jason & Robin, and Bethany & James - as well as some veterans who were at the second annual extravaganza. There were the ever-present hot cider and caramel apple snacks, and, of course, the pumpkins. Cooking the pumpkin seeds was such a fiasco last year that we didn’t resurrect that “tradition,” though we tried to carry over all the others (StrongBad pumpkin designs, fighting siblings, etc.). The biggest change from last year - young children. We had babies and kids still in single digits running all over the place. Also, our dog - he had a smorgasbord of pumpkin bits to eat, and eat he did! Here are a couple of fun pictures from the shindig:






Not much to see here, if you're looking for thoughtful and articulate. =) This is a simple communication tool - when your family is scattered as far and as wide as mine, you have to stay in touch somehow.
