the first halloween

this past weekend, we decided to stick around for halloween, so we could actually hand out candy, as it's been a while since we've been able to do that. 6 kids later and the night was over. that's it. 6. totally justifies the last minute half ton bag of candy purchase at costco earlier in the day. because apparently, the 5 smaller bags just might not have cut it. oh well. we met a few neighbor kids at least.

in true diy fashion, we decided to use a power drill to carve our pumpkins. after doing a little bit of acual labor, we used drill bits of all different sizes to create a mishmash of holes to let the candlelight shine through. we quite liked the end result.
