The Great Pumpkin

Tonight was our annual pumpkin carving contest on our block. We live on the best block in the city, I think. We don't have just one or two cool neighbors. We have about 20 cool neighbors and we all hang out and have a great time together.

We met on the one side street where there's a dead end, so there's no traffic. Willa and her friend Theo practiced walking and showed off their costumes. Neither liked the headpiece to the costume, and Willa didn't last in hers for more then 15-20 minutes. Theo liked his bear costume a bit more, I guess. We didn't get a full-view shot of Willa's costume, but Seger Park (across the street from us) is having a Halloween festival tomorrow afternoon so we should be able to get more pictures then. Stay tuned...for now, here's a sneak peak at her costume and some of the very cool pumpkins that our neighbors carved.

The Barack Obama pumpkin(Barack O'Lantern?) was the winner based on the votes of all who attended. He won by a landslide. The pumpkin carving, I mean. Just to be clear.

Oh, I also posted some more pictures of our bathroom renovation - scroll down to see those.

Here are some pictures from our party tonight:
