Halloween

I love love love Halloween! I love the costumes, the pumpkins, and especially the scary movies. I'm a total sucker for a scary movie. I love any excuse to dress up in a costume. I really wanted Joseph to join me, but unfortunately, our plans changed and we didn't have any party or event to go to on Friday so it turned out being just me dressing up for work. The month seemed to get away from me. Every time I wanted to go out and try to get a costume together something else came up. It finally came down to throwing this together on Thursday night. I know it's not the most flattering picture. I asked Joseph to take it and he didn't even warn me and then wouldn't take another. So this is all you get.
On Monday we had a little combined family home evening with some friends and family where we carved pumpkins. I didn't realize that Joseph was going to be so into this. He's only carved a couple in his life. He was adamant about doing a skull. Well... after 3 grueling hours of carving and cussing Joseph triumphed! He was very very proud of his pumpkin. I, myself, did a cute little Mummy. We had a lot of fun and a lot of laughs.
I can't believe how quickly last month flew by. Christmas will be here before we know it! in fact, the day after Halloween they were already playing Christmas music on the radio. It's also supposed to snow on Tuesday and I'm completely dreading it! I guess it's not that bad now that it's November. I've got to accept it sometime! I'm sure this week will keep us busy. Joseph's parents are coming in for the weekend and I'm heading home with Grandmama. My mom is in the annual "Little Off Broadway" play. I'm excited to have sometime to visit with Grandmama. She's such a witty, yet wise lady. It should be a fun trip!

I am very dissappointed in all of you. I carve an incredible pumpkin and no one says a word! I would like to see you carve a better one. I am the master carver.
