pumpkins and little mexican wrestlers

after 6 years of hosting our BYOP extravaganza, we decided to take a break this year.  there's been a lot going on these past few months, so we thought we'd keep it low-key by having some family pumpkin carving time.  (BUT don't fret.  that doesn't mean that we won't ever host another one.  i'm thinking we'll definitely bring it back next year!) 

it was a nice, chill evening of digging out pumpkin guts, carving, and roasting pumpkin seeds.

the kids and their pumpkins

i think the kids were quite pleased with their pumpkins.  props to their parents for doing all the carving (except for ty who obviously managed just fine on his own).

all lit up

now it's time to dig out the candy stash for tonight's trick-or-treaters.  and if you are over 10 years old and still dressing up to go get candy be prepared to do a trick.  if you don't, i might have to send my little mexican wrestlers after you.

my mexican wrestlers will take you down
