Yes, I am going to drag this Halloween thing out as long as possible – I don’t have anything else right now to blog about.

Ben gets his stick-out-the-tongue-thing from my mom.  It tickles my heart every time I see him do it, and think of her.

Yes, I do wash his face.  Just not very often.

The finished product.

Pumpkin Carving part 1

Pumpkin guts are slimy and fun to squish.

Hannah doesn’t know quite what to think of her pumpkin.
