Pumpkins and Halloween

Our first post written together.
We had another successful Pumpkin Carving Party on the 28th. It has become a tradition since moving into our house three years ago. Corey made his families Rumpunchkin, a rum drink served from a pumpkin. He also got the materials and painted an OSU beer pong table, which distracted him so much that he didn't get his pumpkin carved. It seemed to be wildly popular even among the older adults. For those of you who are beer pong novices, you make a pyramid of cups partially filled with beer and try to toss ping pong balls into the other teams cups. Yes, we still are playing drinking games, our future kids will think we are awesome!
We had quite a crowd, enough people we had to moving the pumpkin carving station into the garage. There were a bunch of great pumpkins and Carol's skill seem to be approving each year.
Carol had a good time making treats for the party this year. The list included pumpkin bread,  pumpkin bars and caramel corn. There diffidently wasn't a shortage of food to eat.
We really enjoyed that this year included a bunch of first timers and third timers.




On actual Halloween we dressed up for the first time in years and headed out to our friends John and Natalie's house. Our costumes were couple theme Carol was Alice in Wonderland and Corey was the King of Hearts. We rented them from a local costume shop. The choices were slightly limited due to Carol's size. She ended up wearing a kids costume. We had a great time hitting up a few haunted houses. We always have a good time with John, Natalie, Heidi and Tyler.
