Happy Halloween!

So they do celebrate Halloween here, but definitely on a smaller scale. Only one group of trick-or-treaters came to our door (well, here they call it "guising" - as in disguising, I think) and it was our neighbors. It's probably for the best since I hadn't bought any candy anyways!! (Don't worry...the neighbors got to choose from my own personal stash of Twix, Snickers, and Mars Bars!) We started off the day at Cairnie Fruit Farm with our new friends Kendall and Andrew. It was a gorgeous day and we spent the whole afternoon outside (this is the same place we went for Justus's birthday - so once again we wore ourselves out!). We got to pick out our own pumpkin and they carved it for free. Later that night we went to a Halloween party at which we entered this very pumpkin into a pumpkin-carving contest and won!! Ha ha! We never told them that it was professionally carved but we didn't feel too guilty since the prize was a candy bar. You fools!!

Every kid needs a picture sitting with some pumpkins...this is that picture for Justus. :)

Our sweet (and fun) friends, Kendall and Andrew.

We went as a golf-trio: the professional golfer - Justus, his caddy - Travis, and the marshal (to keep the crowds quiet) - Jess. The best part about the costumes is that they didn't cost a dime (or a pence, I should say)!

Golfer and his caddy. Notice the glove hanging out his back pocket. And he carried that club around the entire night!

He's made his club selection...

Hanging out in the middle of all the older kids. What a cutie!

Cheating at a pumpkin carving contest and winning...priceless. Ha ha ha!!!
