Pumpking carving and Happy Birthday Janell (and me)

I apologize for the paucity of posts recently-  I had issues with my photo downloader/ card reader, but the problem is now solved, and I’ll be updating the blog more regularly.  Keep a lookout for a ton of backlogged posts– I just downloaded 200 pictures, so I’m sure that there will be a mini-flood of blog posts in the near future.

Tonight, we went over to Julie and Grants for our annual family pumpkin carving. Here’s a picture of Jarrin with his pumpkin.  Pumpkin carving is always messy and the seeds and pumpkin guts end up everywhere.  Check out the seed on Jarrin’s eyebrow.

For Halloween, I decided to dress the kids up in costume.  Elton didn’t like his t-shirt, but Rafa totally dug his lady bug outfit.

I think Rafi and Elton love family dinners because of all of the extra food they get, especially from Grandma and Grandpa.  Here’s a picture of Rafi and Elton munching on the rest of mom’s dessert.  I literally caught the munchkins licking off of mom’s plate!

I love how Aunty always makes perfect circles and such dainty pumpkins!
