I finally carved my pumpkin last night. We made the basic triangle eyes and nose and two buck teeth. Only difference was that Jes used his dremel for some of it…that was not pretty. Mary also came over last night to hang out with us. We had a small 9-lb turkey that’s been defrosting the fridge all week so Jes roasted it up and made all the fixins. I even made some homemade cranberry sauce…mmm…cranberry sauce. I can’t wait for Thanksgiving and Christmas. They have to be my two most favorite holidays. This was just a preview of more things to come!

Today at school, the kids had a big Halloween carnival with games and prizes. They all dressed up and had a little parade on the blacktop. If I didn’t work with kids I think I’d almost forget it was Halloween. We bought some candy at Target yesterday just in case some kids came by…uh, we got one. Where are all the kids?! We certainly have a few living on our street but I guess they’ve gone elsewhere. My cousin was in Cerritos tonight and said that not many kids came by her house either. Hm… Oh well…they really missed out on the Batman Pez dispensers and Skittles that we have here! I suppose Jes will just have to stuff his face with chocolate and sugar this coming week. I don’t think it’ll be too difficult.
