"Halloween"

This year, Halloween was on a Sunday. Being Utah, everyone changed the holiday to Saturday. Joe and I celebrated both days of Halloween, but this post is about Saturday.

We actually woke up early to go car shopping (post coming soon). I wanted to be home by 3 so we would have enough time to carve pumpkins. However, we fell in love with a car and after a long test drive, a check with a mechanic, and all the paper work, we didn't get home until closer to 5 (not that I can complain, I drove home in our new car!).

We got right to carving pumpkins. I usually like to buy normal sized, round pumpkins, but this year, a 38 pound monster pumpkin caught my eye and I couldn't leave it in the Smith's bin, so I bought it. Joe and I carved two pumpkins each.

Just as it was getting time for the trick or treaters to be out, it started raining really hard. I was sad, thinking we wouldn't get as many kids around, but we did! This is such a great neighborhood for trick or treating.

We had our standard Halloween dinner of a pumpkin shaped pizza and lots and lots of candy. After the kids stopped coming by, Joe and I watched Paranormal Activity. Neither of us had seen it before. It wasn't that scary, but it was fun to watch on "Halloween" night!
