Happy Halloween (early)!!

Since my due date is November 1st we are guessing that I won't quite be up to the usual Halloween festivities because I will have either given birth, be giving birth or I will be recovering from giving birth. And yes I have ruled out the possibility that I will still be waiting to give birth. I know I am probably jinxing myself and our baby will come a week or two late just because I wrote this but oh well. So Jared and I had the brilliant idea of getting some of our Halloween festivities out of the way now. We went to the grocery store and bought everything pumpkin. We bought all the ingredients for a pumpkin pie and we bought three pumpkins to carve. One for me, one for Jared, and one for the baby.



Yes we bought and caved a pumpkin for the baby...can someone say first time parents. Jared carved the baby's pumpkin as well as his own. Jared carved a double sided pumpkin. One side was a face that matched the baby's pumpkin and the other side was a ghost. I only carved one side in the time Jared did two sides and caved the baby pumpkin. Here they are!


Here is the delicious pumpkin pie that I made. It was so yummy! I LOVE pumpkin pie!


I have to add one more thing...If I am still waiting to deliver by the 31st I am going to buy a big orange shirt and then draw a pumpkin face on the shirt right over my big belly and go to the Halloween party as a pumpkin. So for the sake of all those who might have to see me in a terrible Halloween costume pray that the baby is early. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

haha...Marcie you are too funny. I kept telling myself that with Devin. I was going to be early if I had to pull that baby out myself. And he finally came, five days late! :) But don't worry...I'm sure you'll get your wish. :)

I bet the baby will love the pumpkin! :) You are too cute! I don't think I have ever seen a round orange pumpkin that small.

I love those pumpkins!!! I should have known that you guys would make contest-winning designs being all artistic and all. Oh we miss you two. Hopefully some day we'll meet up again. I would love to call and chat sometime before the baby comes, just to see how you're feeling, Marce. I love you!

Oh cute you made a baby pumpkin! Pumpkin pies are good but I can't wait until the baby boy comes out of the oven.

p.s. that costume is exactly what I did wear last Halloween. I went and bought an orange shirt and drew the pumpkin on it. I still have it too bad I can't send it to you!

p.s I had huge orange shorts to go with it.

Marcie,
We are just blog stalking/surfing and found you guys. We can't believe you don't have a picture of your Ward Party costumes! They were the best. Congrats on the new baby. He looks adorable. We hope everything goes well.
