After a year of Lasts, it’s so nice to be living so many Firsts nowadays. Friday night we went to Washington Elementary’s delightful Fall Festival where Huck got wrapped like a mummy, terrified in the haunted house and witnessed his mother win the top prize in the cake walk due to several strokes of luck.  Saturday afternoon we had our First Annual Pumpkin Carvin’ Party, inspired by our landlady Stacey who wanted the fun tradition carried on in her back yard.  We were more than happy to comply, what with this being our very favorite time to celebrate.  New friends showed up with pumpkins in hands ready to carve, and Huck had a wonderful time as the official host.

Next up: the Big Day itself and Huck’s introduction to door to door trick or treating!

Here’s Huck working on Grandma Hottman’s sugar cookies for our party, & here’s the nosy squirrel that spied on us from the rooftop and through the door.  Get a life, squirrel!

Huck has been planning the Decorate Your Own Cupcakes station for months now.

Notice Huck’s use of the word “y’all” in the sign below …
