Halloween 2007


I love carving pumpkins - it's one of my favorite fall traditions. Ben helped me gut the pumpkin and I did the carving last night while rockin' out to my iPod. Design courtesy of Pumpkin Masters. Anyone who knows me knows I could never come up with such an artsy creation by myself.

Ben is obsessed with Thomas the Tank Engine and looked adorable in his little train costume. We had a major Halloween extravaganza, which started with a trunk-or-treat last weekend at the church. It continued today with trick-or-treating and a puppet show/sing-along at the public library, followed by trick-or-treating in a few neighborhoods. I'll let the pictures do the talking. It wasn't quite as glamorous as trick-or-treating in Boston's Beacon Hill last year and getting treats at John Kerry's house, but we're living the fabulous life Buckeye-style. :)

Halloween Flashback

If you can't tell, I'm in the middle, along with my sister and brother. We're ready for a night of trick-or-treating in small town Oregon, circa sometime in the 80s. I just want to say that I am sporting a pair of killer boots. If only I could remember wearing them...Anyway, good job Mom on picking them out. Too bad most of the rest of my childhood wardrobe wasn't quite as stellar.

What's high in the middle and round on both ends?


OHIO! Yep, we're now denizens of the Midwest, circa June 2007. Life here has treated us well so far, minus the troubling lack of sidewalks and killer summer humidity. I love driving by cornfields to get to our house and seeing fireflies at night.
