Annual Pumpkin Carving Party

This is the third year we have carved pumpkins with our friends (we actually missed it last year). Each year, we bring our own pumpkins and one of us hosts a night of food and games along with the carving of the pumpkins.

This year we went to Connie and Jelani's for the annual event. Sandi and Shawn and Jennifer and Chu also came for the fun. Connie made a yummy pumpkin punch, pumpkin bars, and had pitas, hummus, chips, salsa, and guacamole. The ladies had a chance to hang out a little while the guys finished watching some football. Then we all gathered in the dining room and carved our pumpkins, roasted pumpkin seeds, and played Taboo. Sandi and Shawn headed home, Jennifer and Chu headed to bed, and Ryan and I played a friendly game of Spades with Connie and Jenali before heading home.

It was a relaxing, fun night. I can't wait to do it again next year!

Ryan's is cool. Like a kobold maybe! Erin's, yours is cool too!

Nice pumpkins guys! About 1,000,000% better than what mine would look like (remember Sloth from "The Goonies").

Baby, Ruth - I LOVE that movie - actually, that would be a cool pumpkin too ;-)

Sean Astin has said that he is interested in doing Goonies 2. It may be in the works if they get the script right.

I wonder if it would actually be any good - I'd be so excited to see! Now you gave me something new to monitor. That's probably my all time favorite movie.
