Parties & Pumpkins

Here is Will and I on our way to another party. This one was for adults. Darby babysat Billy.
They watched movies and ate pizza.
Our friend Linda went also. Some of the kids that were in the area got a little scared.

So, Sunday came and Will left. The kids and I decided to carve the pumpkins. It was nice outside so we sat in the driveway. Will usually does this, but since he left - I did. The electric knife worked!

Billy was quite amused by the insides of the pumpkin. He wanted a picture. I don't know if all pumpkins are like this, but the insides were stringy. Very wierd.

Darby and Billy finished carving the faces. They did really well. They took their time and was careful.

The finished pumpkins. Billy and Darbys. They are cute.

Halloween

Well, it's that time of year to dress up. I gave in and let the kids do something 'spooky'. We went to a costume party this morning with our Tae Kwon Do school. Everyone had fun. Darby dressed up as... I'm not quite sure. Billy dressed as the grim reaper - minus the teeth. He rubbed them off before he ate. Will and I were Romans. It was fun.

Billy is in the middle with the scythe. He looked so... spooky!

I made these for a few friends. They are filled with candy corn, mmmm.

Oct Test

Another testing cycle is now complete. Yeah!!! It was a very long cycle. Will, Billy and I tested. Darby is in a different category now. She should test for her 1st degree in Dec. Darby was in charge of pictures. The camera gave her a bit of trouble, so there aren't a bunch of pics. Anyhow, these are a few. Will and I got to go first. We were hoping that all three of us went at once, but it didn't happen. Darby got some great shots anyway.

Billy did really well. He took his time and he looked really sharp.

The family

picture after. Darby didn't want to be in the picture. So I couldn't just leave her out. Here she is a week earlier playing a game, like a pretzel.
