Halloween!

A week later, here are some pics from our Halloween activities!

Kenny and Jim carving pumpkins:
















I joined in too!  Mom didn't because I think she's allergic to fun.













The finished products.  Mine is on the left, Jim's is in the middle (of course - his is always the coolest!), and Kenny's is on the right.  Ken and I didn't coordinate our pumpkins, so we just must think alike!  Except that he "thinks" better than I do.













Prepping papier-mâché skulls for my "trunk-or-treat" graveyard scene.














My car in the ward Halloween party's "Trunk-or-Treat," complete with skeletons, a gravestone, and dry ice.  Flickering pumpkins and battery-powered candles within the skulls lit the way.













The trick-or-treaters cleaned me out of candy (and I had a heaping cauldron bowl full!) but it was a great activity.  I also had "Thriller," "Monster Mash," "This Is Halloween," and "Danse Macabre" playing on a cd player hidden in the back of the car.  What an awesomely spooky night!

THAT CAR IS AMAZING!!! You did an amazing job!!! Where did you find that skeleton? And I love the pumpkins--I totally ruined the only pumpkin I carved this year because I was too busy talking to Melinda to pay attention.

Thank you so much!!! The trunk was all your design, just fleshed out by me. (Ha ha - that's kind of ironic, seeing as the skeleton presiding over the pic doesn't have any flesh.) He belongs to Mom and Jim and when a switch is flipped, his eyes light up green and he talks, but I turned him off since his commentary is totally cheesy. The car got really foggy, courtesy of my main helper Jim, but the flash doesn't do any favors with the dry ice!
