H A L L O W E E N

I have been looking forward to carving our pumpkins. Leo was in charge of the medium and small one. It took him about 10 minutes to do both of them. I, however, spent the better part of an hour carefully sketching and carving the big one. My big plans included the GT logo for Georgia Tech. I was sooo close to being finished...and my knife slips....slicing across the front of the pumpkin...and taking with it my work of art. Ugh. So Leo had to fix it... and it turned out like.......this. Niiiiice.
Halloween night we went over to my Gramp's house. Beau was a lion cub. He loved his costume and was really excited that I made (uh, I mean, LET) him wear it all day. Even to the grocery store. And when I say loved...I mean hated.

We did a "WICKED" (or Wizard of Oz) theme. I was Glenda the Good Witch, Beau was the lion cub, Lori was Elphaba the Wicked Witch, and Matt, her boyfriend, was such a great sport and was the Scarecrow. Leo was supposed to be the tin man, but as you can see...that didn't fly. My husband loves Halloween. (And once again I'm using the word "love" very loosely.)

I love this picture. The tennis shoes and the beer cans are a nice touch. Don't you think?

The fuzz ball in the bottom right is Beau's mane. He was so cute crawling around.

See?
