I'm headed to Lily's school later today for some Halloween fun so stay tuned for those pics.
We had a great time on Sunday at my friend Monica's Annual Pumpkin carving party. This was our second year attending. Here's some photos I captured of my family in action.
Here's the one where Lily is scooping out the insides aka "the guts" as she declaired.
