Carving Pumpkins

Before. The start of our messy but fun escapade.

This was a really cool dremol tool Summer brought for the carving fest but it was terribly messy.
Yeah, I just got finished painting the walls behind me white and yes, some of the pumpkin skin ended up on the walls. This tool flung pumpkin everywhere. Next time we'll have to put some covering on the table or use this tool outside.

The end results were definitely worth the mess.

After.

Haunted House

We had a wonderful weekend and tons of fun with some friends making a haunted house, carving pumpkins & just hanging out. This is Sora with Shasta (Summer's daughter).

This is Olivia with her best bud Hayden (Summer's son)

They all worked so well together. They decided on their own that the pairs would be Olivia & Hayden, Sora & Shasta. They decided that Olivia & Hayden would put the house together & decorate the walkway. Sora & Shasta would get to decorate the house. I just love it when they make their own decisions with no fighting or arguing and everyone is happy about the outcome.
It was quite messy.
Nearing completion.

They demolished it and started eating it before I could take a picture of the final product.

So the haunted house had this black icing which we ended up putting on our lips. Hayden had the orange icing on his since he was the only boy. It didn' go on so easy and was pretty disgusting once it dried.

Just wanted to post another one just to show the difference.

I just thought it would be interesting to see who I look like. A little misleading though because it really depends on the picture you choose and the position of your face. It was fun though.

As soon as I saw this quote I thought about Summer. It's simple, sweet and straight to the point. Exactly how Summer is, this one's for her.

Summer

You know the feelings you have in summer time? Bright, warm, playful, cheerful, etc. Well those are the feelings I have around this amazing woman. We have only known each other for about a year and a half but it seems the moment we met we've known each other for a lifetime. Summer was there for me throughout the entire planning of my wedding reception. I can not thank her enough for all the help and support. She makes everything beautiful and always has a smile! I love you Summer!

This is a picture of us at her wedding reception held at their house in July 2007.
