Happy Halloween

Here's our crew all dressed up in their costumes. From left to right is me, Courtney, Lydia, Blaine, Trent and Adam. Aren't we a scary bunch? We all went trick or treating together and got lots of candy.

A morning surprise

This morning when Mom and I got up to eat breakfast, we kept hearing a noise outside on the deck. Mom opened the blinds and we found a surprise. There was a little kitten on the deck. We think she was stuck and not sure how to get down. She hung around all morning and even tried to come into the house a couple of times. Dad and I finally took her down to Uncle John's barn and that's where she lives now. She is a really friendly cat and likes to play, but Mom didn't want her staying at our house.

Pumpkin carving

This morning we went down to Aunt Jo's and got some pumpkins. Dad picked out two big ones that we could carve. When we got home, we got out the tools we needed and sat out on the front porch and carved them. Mom kept trying to get me to stick my hand inside and pull out all of the seeds, but I wasn't too sure about it.
This is how they turned out. Dad said next year we need to buy a carving kit so we can make better faces on them. Tonight we get to put candles in them and light them to see how they look.
