"May your day be touched
by a bit of Irish luck,
brightened by a song in your heart,
and warmed by the smiles
of the people you love."

Our 10th annual pumpkin carving contest was held Saturday, October 20th.
 |
| Ashton, Charlie and Arianne |
The pumpkins were perfect for carving this year ~ and soft enough that the older children carved their own, much to their delight and ours! We grew lots of small pumpkins in our garden, (an unknown stowaway seed that was prolific!) And Cory picked up some great big ones that were fun to carve.

Papa Ray is the Super Scooper ~ he gets all those seeds out pretty quickly, but the kids worked on their own this year as well. . .
 |
| Hunter, Joshua and Nathanial |
These three cute little cousins are just a few months apart and they loved the slide. They would play so cute together~ but they aren't old enough to have the "sharing thing" down yet ~ so we had to dry a few tears over the week-end.

Charlie did his own pumpkin this year ~ "A Smirk" ~ it looked just like Joe Biden!

Grammie Sandy's favorite spot!
Some choose patterns, some artistic ones go free form and draw their own . . . either way, we get some really great looking jack o'lanterns!
