Halloween Rewind

.....

This was last year.

***Our announcement to my family that baby Jack was on his way came in the form of a stork pumpkin, carved by who else?

...

My McGuiver.

....

Let's be honest, the guy's incredible.

(might I add that he pulled this out of his hat in approximately 5 minutes)

This is this year.

.....

Both rather exciting, really.

.....

But, I'd take this anyday over a pumpkin.

Here are a few highlights from the past few days of festivities:

........

PUMPKIN CARVING WITH THE GRIFFIN FAMILY:

Halloween Eve

.....

Although, I think it might have been rigged....Hank won the carving contest.

Annie's pumpkin wasn't all that impressive.

Randy was sure a happy carver.

Brett was all buisness.

We talked my mom into carving a pumpkin.

She worked really hard, as you can see from her "concentration face."

Her arm still hurts apparently.

Final Product (top to bottom, left to right)

Mom, Randy/Hank, Mine (yes I'm an art teacher), Brett

Brett #2, Annie, No one will claim the ghost.

GRANDMA JOANNE'S:

Halloween Day

Jack with his BEAUTIFUL cousin, Lucy.

The Rats:

Max (minus his monkey costume), Lucy, Jack, Isabel, Hank (totally in character!)

....

HALLOWEEN NIGHT

.....

Of course, it wouldn't be Halloween without a napless, grouchy baby.

Jack wasn't feeling it early in the evening.

But snapped out of it before the night was over.

So lucky to live by all 4 grandparents.

.....

Hope you all had the

HAPPIEST HALLOWEEN

.....

I really do like this silly holiday.
