halloween highlights.

we carved pumpkins for family home evening.

i officially won the ugliest pumpkin award.

and i may have thrown a piece of pumpkin at him.

[we're in love.  really.]

thing 1 and thing 2.

me and my mentor teacher dressed up for school. 

the students thought we were a hit. 

grandma carlow's chili.

[and LOTS of it! ...who knew beans expanded so much?]

growing up grandma carlow always fed us her homemade chili every year before we went out to go trick-or-treating.

i decided this year i was going to make it myself and carry on the tradition.

with a party to boot.

i unfortunately failed to get pictures of all our guests,

including more friends, cousins, siblings, and even my parents.

you could say it was a success.

until next year...
