Growing up we ALWAYS had Chili dogs and cornbread OR homemade scones on Halloween night. I didn't even attempt to make Lani's YUMMY scones. Maybe next year! We all scarfed down the yummy food. The kids were SOOO EXCITED to get the carving and apple making under way.
We even got the Elders (Angus and Warburton) in on the FUN! They creatively carved a tie on their jack-o-lantern. I was crackin' up though (notice the different eyes). Hummm... reminds me of??? We LOVE all our Missionaries!!
The kids all gathered while Jared pulled out his guns (thank goodness for those POWER TOOLS!) to carve a mean pumpkin. LOL!
and Jeff was HIDING his pumpkin template/ design (lol!)... dang Sarah, didn't know Jeff skills were TOP SECRET! hehehe!
They all did a pretty good job! The kids had a BLAST and loved seeing their creations come to life.
We made some MAD caramel apples. I forgot until then why we were SUPPOSE to use TART apples like the Jongolds or Granny Smith's, 'cause these ones made for some SWEEEEEET candied apples. But hey, didn't stop us from eating them...
These yummy creations were G O N E by the end of the night.
"It's OK Elder, go ahead and DIG in... grubbin' allowed in this house!" Elder W was trying to be so polite and proper. Uhm, I don't think that's possible with an ooey gooey apple! I guess you could slice it like Rocky Mountain Choc Fac, but no one wanted to wait long enough for the caramel to set.
And my little Moe was SSOOO worn out by the day's events he zonked out before everyone left. Love catching these two in a moment like this.

looks like fun...makes me want to carve pumpkins but I don't think my skills would add up to those cute pumpkins. What a great night.
So who would have thought to use power tools? What a great idea. We have carving pumpkins because it's so much work! Now I know the trick!
LOL!! Did Emi cut Juliana's hair?...lol..you're kidding me? Well it's a dang good thing we're related to Jeff or else Sarah would've been like...crazy Tongan people...lol...j/k! Emi you make me laugh all the time! What a fun Halloween night!! The chili and apples look way yummy! I prefer sweet apples over sour Granny apples...so yummy yummy to my tummy!! Happy halloween to the kids!!
Your pictures are always so great. What a fun night! I feel your pain about the hair...deep breath...it'll grow. A friend of mine reminded me that Sister Hinkley has said "I prefer to laugh, crying gives me a headache."
Fun night and great pumpkin carving!! How did the haircuts fit in and why are all the little ones in the ward hacking at their pretty hair??
What a fun night for all of you. You sure do know how to PARTY! Oh you better keep track of the handy dandy power tools.
