Happy Halloween!

Our Annual Pumpkin Carving Party!
Though this has traditionally been with our neighbors, since we moved recently, we decided to do it with our "North Carolina Family", the Abbotts, Smiths and Worths.

The men thought the occasion appropriate for power tools.


The traditional fare was served:
homemade chili and cornbread, homemade root beer, and homemade donuts.
The donuts burned slightly and though still delicious they didn't qualify for their own picture. The adorable spider cupcakes took their place.
Kristin brought her new baby boy, Declan, to the party.


Halloween night.
Again, a traditional meal of tyropita and tomato soup.

What has eight eyes and says 'moooo'?.....
....three ninjas and a cow.

Trick-or-treating in our new neighborhood was great. In our cul-de-sac all the neighbors get together and put their candy out on one table. A lot of bang for your buck in one stop!
Sorting the haul!
I remember this was my favorite part of the night when I was a kid.
Since mom has no self control when it comes to chocolate I let the kids enjoy their candy for a day then offered them $5 each for it. They took the bait and out went the candy.

Love the costumes. Love the food. Wish I could have eaten the food, even the burnt doughnuts.
