Even though Halloween is tomorrow, we feel like it has already passed because we've dressed up, had the party, and even gone trick or treating (trick or trunk). And here are some pictures to show how we celebrated:
 |
| We skipped the pumpkin patch this year and opted for the more local Trader Joe's. |
 |
| The pumpkins were cheap! Too bad we realized that one was already rotting when we got home... |
 |

Isaac the Builder and the Monson Construction crew.
Baby construction project to be completed in 2014. |
 |
| Brent does not normally look so delirious...but we were all pretty tired that night. |
 |
| Isaac "cooking" with the pumpkin pulp |
 |
There was a pumpkin growing in our pumpkin!! It was so weird.
Neither of us had ever seen sprouts growing inside a pumpkin before. Anyone else seen that? |
 |
The master carver. Brent kind of sketched it out, but did a lot free-handed.
Most of the permanent marker you can see on there is Isaac's scribbling. |
 |
The final product. I was super impressed because I had doubts during the carving. . . :-)
I should know better than to ever doubt Brent's artistic skills though! |
 |
Isaac loved it!
Halloween isn't my favorite holiday, but it is way more fun with a kid! If Isaac's allergies continue into next year though, I don't think we'll be trick or treating again. He literally cannot eat ANY candy. I brought fruit leathers as a substitute, but he was not happy about that. How he knows what candy is, I have no idea. But we had quite a tantrum on our hands that led to me giving in and giving him a tiny Twizzler. (His allergy to corn is not life-threatening.) Anyway, I think we'll avoid that part of the Halloween tradition for as long as possible. . .
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
