Pumpkin Carving

The other night, Matt and I met over at Katie and Adam's house to carve pumpkins. We had a blast! I love hanging out with Katie. It's pretty much an unspoken rule that whenever we hang out at their house or ours, we wear comfy clothes. So I was rocking my bachelorette party shirt and my Cor Jesu sweatpants. Oh, and Matt would be upset if I forgot to mention I also had on my fuzzy socks. (You gotta love fuzzy socks!)

When we first got over there, I was soooo hungry. We all know what happens when I'm hungry . . . Let's just say I'm not the most pleasant person to hang out with. To make matters worse, Katie happened to be wearing a t-shirt with a slice of pizza on it. Torture! Lucky for me, Katie is a good friend:



And to top it off, they had already ordered the pizza, so it was on the way! Crisis averted!



We ate the pizza then the carving began. Adam decided to carve a scary guy peeking through the blinds to go with his scary window in his front room. Katie was afraid that the little kids might not show up at the house with all the scary stuff going on so she carved Mickey Mouse. Matt always has to choose the most difficult pattern - this year it happened to be a scarecrow. I did a cute little ghost that says Boo!



Without further ado, here are our creations:

(as you can see in the picture above, even Bruce got in on the action. For those that don't know, Katie has a shark fetish - that's a whole different post - anyway, the little Pez dispenser in the picture above is Bruce the shark. Katie has several Bruces).

After the carving was finished we decided to bake the pumpkin seeds. Katie had printed off a bunch of different recipes, but of course all I wanted were the regular salty ones. We did make ranch and cinnamon sugar as well though.

We finished the night off by playing Adam's newest Wii game until I abruptly announced that it was time for me to go to bed. All in all it was a wonderful night - but it was super hard to get up for work the next morning!

Anyway, I hope everyone had a fantastic Halloween. We certainly had an eventful one! That will be the next post!
