Test and Halloween

I love Halloween! First because its in my favorite season second its just so adorable to see little kids receive candy. Its just adorable. This year for Halloween was pretty chill...mostly because Jeremy and Mine's week was consumed by tests, projects, and assignments. After all of these things were all said and done we just had a pumpkin carving contest and gave out Halloween candy for the rest of the night.











We started to carve our pumpkins outside because it was such a beautiful day.

I used the pregnancy card so Jeremy would scope out the guts to both his and my pumpkin. To say the least he had very orange hands.

So last year when we had our pumpkin carving contest Jeremy totally kicked my butt. I love crafty things but I am no artist. So this year I cheated. I got a pattern and put it on my pumpkin and I must say its the prettiest pumpkin I have ever carved!!!












And here they are lighted up!! (Jeremy had the witch and I had the ghost)
















Anyways it was a ton of fun and we have a ton of candy leftover (we had like 15 trick or treaters) and we are looking forward to the next couple holidays and next year when we will have our baby girl.

Awesome pumpkins, Maria! I really love the ghosts! The witch was way cute too, Jer...
Looks like you had fun!

We did not get one single trick or treater! It was kind of sad. (In past years I've always got 1 or 2 and that was in single student housing! But, we DO live right next to a for-real neighborhood so I guess it's not that surprising.)
