Halloween 2007

This past Saturday was the annual Halloween party at Tam's. It was three days of set up and will take weeks to tear down. There were fog machines, a cemetary, inflatable haunted house, spooky trail, a tunnel of terror and more. One of my friends' kids said that it was the best party she has ever been to, except her own birthday. It was a great time. Here are some pictures...

I forgot to get a picture of the mummy hot dogs and the wonderful smokey punch. I was BUSY doin' stuff. There may be more pictures of that stuff on the other "party cam".

Pumpkin Carving

I don't remember carving my own pumpkin at any point of my life. This doesn't mean much though, I don't remember many details. The sister, however, can remember how many times we ran errands in a day when she was two. Last week I was given the task of carving. M & G drew what they wanted and I got started. I didn't empty out the middle or clean it. My job was strictly creating a masterpiece.



Unfortuantely, I also learned a lesson. The "RIP" carving has wilted a tremendous amount and therefore, the letters have sunk backwards into the pumpkin. I guess some before and after pictures would be appropriate. I'll work on that...

I think it may be time to go back to work. I was supervising the electrician at Tam's so she could go work. Fine by me!

New Book

I got a new book this weekend. It's "Blink". It's about thoughts and thinking. I'm on page nineteen. So far, it's pretty interesting. It's basis is that behind every decision, we really knew the answer in the first two seconds that we were presented with the problem/question. Instincts & subconsciousness. More to come.
