Enough With The Heavy Stuff!

I've noticed that last few entries have been a little too serious. So, what's going on in my little world? Not a whole lot, just getting ready for our annual pumpkin carving party!

Jeff and I started this tradition four years ago and it's going strong. The only time we've skipped a year was last year because we were living with Rick and Gloria and didn't feel right to throw a party at a house that wasn't ours.

The first pumpkin party we hosted did not have a very large turn out. Jeff's cousin and his wife came, as well as our friend Sonja. I think everyone carved a pumpkin, and it was fun to light them and put them on the porch for an evening.

This year is promising to be a very big carving party. We have roughly 15 or so guests coming and I'm still not sure where I'm going to put them while they're carving their pumpkins. That's my number one rule...if you wanna come to the party, you'd better bring a pumpkin and some carving tools. I hate it when grown ups forget how to have fun. Why do we have to wait to have kids to do this kind of stuff?

Anyways, I'm still trying to decide what to serve. I'm thinking potato soup and snacks, but we'll see. I'm just looking forward to having friends and family in our home, having a good time. I can't wait to see what our porch will look like this year with 17 pumpkins all lit up!
