Pumpkin Heads

-
We kicked off the weekend by going to Brad and Melissa's house for pizza, wings, and pumpkin carving. There were eight of us - Mom & Dad, Brad & Mel, Jon & I, and Melissa's mom and Grandma (Gram didn't carve a pumpkin) and boy what a mess!
Here are just some of the MANY pictures I took.



Boys and their toys!
(Jon and Brad just had to use the dremel to cut the tops of their pumpkins while Dad used his good ol' faithful blade that he has used for years!)


Cleaning out the pumpkins.
(You'll notice the killer blade in Dad's hand!)
Sharron (Mel's mom) picked a hard pattern for hers, so Mel helped her finish it. (Gram came to check on the progress.)



Mel's and Mom's (I guess I missed getting a picture of Mom. She worked very diligently the whole time!)



Brad did two.

Jon did two.

Dad's and mine



What a mess!

Brad and Jon cleaning seeds to be roasted. We also had yummy apple cider!

Thanks Brad and Mel!! We had a blast!

We'll post pictures of them lit up and some group pictures later. (they're on Jon's camera)

yeah, pumpkin carving really brought the kid out of Ralph! He had a blast using the pieces others had cut out of theirs for extra features on his! He was kind of doing his own thing, and we were all a bit surprised at the outcome!! :-)

Looks like a great, fun, probably a bit exhausting weekend! We have a pumlin that needs carving but we are giving it an extra week because in FL it won't last but about a week once it is carved.

Well Rach, I'm not sure how long ours will last sitting out in the cold! We've been getting heavy frost and now they're saying snow mixed with rain for tonight!

OK, I got this magazine in the mail a couple days ago, but just took the time to actually see what it was last night. They advertise "making luxury affordable" - which of course means that they still charge you outrageous prices, they just let you pay it in smaller installments. This, to me, is more trouble than it's worth anyway even if you don't think about the fact that they (like everyone else in America) are encouraging you to spend more money than you have. The thing that really caught my attention, however, was not the flat screen TVs and computers and living room furniture and mattresses and jewelry. . . Like I said, I looked at this thing last night. It wasn't until I picked it up to throw it away a few minutes ago though, that I realized some of the things I had seen listed! Would you believe they have purses and sunglasses for sale on payment plans?!? This to me is just wrong! I've thought this whole craze was nuts before, but the idea of making a $...

OK, this is just crazy! Where else on earth would it get down right hot for two weeks and then snow again?!?! Yeah you guessed it! This whole week has been nasty cold with snow off and on. (I knew I shouldn't have made that last post!) Anyway, I have been trying to get Jon to let us get a more springy picture of the two of us to put on here, so here it is. Of course there's not too much green stuff around yet and it snowed two days after this picture was taken, but. . . we enjoyed the weather while we had it!
