We attended the annual pumpkin carving party at Katie and Zach's again this year. I count this being the 8th annual that I've attended - that makes Zach 15!!! He's growing up, the rest of us aren't changing a bit! We had a great visit, ate some fabulous mac and chili! Didn't get around to the pumpkin carving this year since Mr. G gets to bed by 8 - but it was still a good time!
The next day was Halloween so we carved our little pumpkin and ate the baked pumpkin seeds. That evening Uncle David and Aunt Jen stopped over for dinner and to walk the neighborhood with us for some candy (and to show Fireman Gavin off to the neighbors). Uncle David has the good photos he'll send us soon!!!
Gavin's favorite part was sitting on the front porch with me waiting for the kids to walk up. He was dressed in his costume and liked seeing all of the other kids. I showed him how to hand out candy - since he always likes to have something in both hands it was perfect. He would run down the driveway to look around. When he saw that someone was coming he would race back to sit on my lap. I'd hand him candy and he would put it into the kids bags. The first few pieces of candy were hard to part with but after a few, he got good at it! We actually shut the light off early because we ran out of candy. That just meant we got to visit the neighbors that much sooner! Next year we might even share Gavin's candy with him - maybe!
