Life has been so crazy lately. There are just so many things I'd like to post but this little guy is taking up every last free moment I have. I'd like to say that things will be slowing down this week but I've got another set of training classes I've got to teach this week so I'll be swamped again. But I guess in this line of work, being swamped is a good thing. Just not good for blogging! I'll really try to catch up this week, though...this blog is getting pretty boring!

Ben hosted his very first Spooktacular Halloween Party on the same day we went to the zoo. Since my cousin wasn't able to have her annual pumpkin carving, I decided to host it at my place. It's been a bit crazy around here so I wasn't able to decorate like I usually do, but I was able to make my "worms and dirt" dessert.

I love having traditions like this, and every year it gets a little bigger and bigger. The table was just big enough for all of us to do our carving, and it's always a lot of fun.  By the end of the night I was totally pooped, it was such a long day!

Here's pictures from the night (click to enlarge):

I'm trying to get a collection of pumpkin templates together, so we have a wide variety of pumpkin designs to choose from.  Anyone who wants a copy can email me next year...I should have them all scanned by then!  

Next year's party will be a lot better...I bought a lot of cool Halloween decorations the day after Halloween, and I can't wait to use them!
