Friday night led to a spooky porch and lot of fun. What has been an annual event at Aunt Mandy's house for a few little ghouls and bugs grew by leaps and bounds this year. It used to be a rather small event. Everyone was much younger and so it turned out that Gene and Myself ended up carving all of the pumpkins or helping out a lot and it usually ended in making cookies after the pumpkin seeds came out of the oven. This year we sent out actual invitations and planned to have dinner and carve pumpkins. The evening started out with Zack and Uncle Gene making ghosts to put along the sidewalk. Then everyone else shows up with pumpkins. Dinner was great and then onto the pumpkins. It was a blast. We filled up a huge tub with "guts" and everyone did a great job with carving. No tears and lots of imagination. Then we took them out front and put glow sticks in them. WOW!!! It was so neat to see them all. Lena and Zack stayed over and had a sleep over. It is so much fun to listen to them falling asleep and telling each other lots of things that they know.
