Trick or Treat

Fall is my favorite time of the year (ahhem....a close second to the summer). I love how it's not too hot and it's not too cold. For the first time I noticed that their is a smell that accompanies fall. Last year I was in Texas and the seasons are little different over there. Fall doesn't creep up on you as fast as it does here. So the past couple weeks as I whizzed past the changing leaves, and the Halloween decorations on my bike I started to notice that familiar smell that comes with fall. I guess I just never paid attention before.

I was pretty surprised when Paul came home from school about a week ago and asked me what he should be for Halloween. I gave him a few suggestions and it didn't take him to long to decide on this one. I tried to get him to be Prince Charming but I'm pretty sure he's the best looking Paul Bunyan around!

I think I'm going to see if I can get hired at Disney. My sister gave me the last minute inspiration to be Cinderella. I think my nieces would be proud!

This year my family decided to have their first Halloween party...it was a huge success! Yay for new traditions! For some of us it was our first time carving with a pattern....which can be a lot more difficult than it looks.
I'm pretty proud of Paul's pumpkin. He was instructed at a very young age at The Kendall School of Pumpkin Art. They taught him to master the art of pumpkin carving. I'm kind of jealous of his skills!
