Pumpkin Carve 2009


When we arrived at Casa del Wootton, the Bellman was in a grave state, but he let us in anyway..


Once the castle was fortified, we gathered together to spill the innards of the orange beasts.


Jared's beast refused to give up the ghost, and required some extra skill to pop the top. But Caren out skilled us all. (Must have been Grandma magic happening!)



Even the wee ones were encouraged to partake in the sacrifice. Here Justin shows Madeline how to reach in up to her elbows in gore. :P


The apprentice showed a keen interest in the implements of the Orange Beast's demise. Probably got that from my side of the family.



My allergy to pumpkins never stops me from being creative, but I sure wish that these gloves could go to my elbow...


Justin's beast finally submitted, and something tells me it liked it too!


Mine turned into a mighty fire breathing beast, Madeline's was gifted with five eyes and a gaping toothy grin!


Many orange beasts were slain this night!

There was even a visitor to escort them on their way!

Madeline's Halloween Costume 2009


She finally made a decision! It has been so stressful for her to figure out what she wanted to be this year for halloween, but her result should not really come as a surprise! She is so cute. :)
