At first we sat around eating all the fabulous food Mari and others had made. Some people played card games. Then people gradually started carving pumpkins; I was in the first group.
My pumpkin:
More pumpkin carving:
There was a little family there that was so cute: a husband and wife and their 3-year-old son and 13-month-old daughter. I had some stickers that I had previously passed out to everyone, and I was pleased when they arrived so there was actually a kid to give stickers to.
I asked parental permission first, then gave the little boy a sheet of stickers. He put a pumpkin sticker on his forehead, and pointed at it and said, "Head!"
:)
Here's Brooke and her new boyfriend:
Oh, calm down. It's just Mari's dad.
Someone at the party asked me if Brooke and I were related, because she's seen us together a lot. That was kind of cool.
Mari's house was once again done up for Halloween, and it looked awesome.
After I got home, I stuck a candle in my pumpkin and set it at the kitchen window.
I hope people can tell it's a bat :>

I love the picture of the pumpkin in the window! And, yes, I can tell it's a bat.
Yay! Thanks, Marie! :)
That is SO COOL! Now I want to carve pumpkins. I swear you are bringing the hoidays to me this year- first Christmas card stamps, now the coolest pumpkin idea.
That carving absolutely fascinates me. Look at it one way I can see a bat, look at it another and I see a spooky face. Neat!
Yeah, I kind of noticed that the bat's eyes can be nostrils. I just wasn't sure about the face's eyes pouring into the mouth. But hey--it could be blood! :D
