Halloween 2008

Last Wednesday Janet and Sarah picked out 4 very large and pretty pumpkins. They were HUGE!

Mandy struggled taming her pumpkin...

Sarah dispatched hers with ease...

Mine was scrumptious...

I wasn't very inspired while carving mine...

Sarah wanted to do the pumpkins barfing, but it doesn't translate very well in the dark...

I think this one is Janet's...

Amanda's...

A nighttime shot of our front yard. I'll get a daytime shot that's clearer. Our's was referred to as the Scooby House or the Twinkling House (because of the blinking lights hanging from the trees.)

Halloween morning was gorgeous and red as the sun came up under the clouds...how does the saying go? Red sky in morning, sailor take warning. Sunday it rained all day.

Riley, Sarah, Sara, and Heather

Amanda and her boyfriend, Alec, dressed up as Jack Skellington and Sally from "The Nightmare Before Christmas" Amanda made both of their costumes from scratch.

Don't know if he looks better with or without the hat.
Pretty happy for a girl held together with stitches...

Thought you might be interested in what Janet has been up to the past week and a half. She's been putting up apple jelly and apple syrup. We had a bumper crop of red delicious apples. I think she said we'll have 12 quarts of syrup and I'll bet three times as much jelly. A lot of the jelly we'll put in the little half pints and give them away to co-workers for Christmas. This picture is just the first days product...
