THE GREAT PUMPKIN(S)

and last but not least in this little Halloween weekend series

It wouldn't be Halloween with out a little knife, gas and match action.

Just like in years past (2010, 2009, 2008, 2007), we upheld tradition and torched our pumpkins (side note: if you look at all those old posts notice how I am wearing the same pants in almost all of them).  Of course first we had to carve them.  Naturally Clayton carved the mean looking pumpkin face and I carved the nice one.  I'm thinking that is symbolic somehow...

 This year we added a twist. 
I hope you are sitting down for this. 
So we had some left over sparklers from New Years Eve.  We decided to let them participate in this little tradition of ours.
 Behold...
THE SPARKLER

Oh how I LOVE Halloween!

I think that is a pretty fun tradition. Maybe I should steal it.
