Not all of us were super excited about attending a neighborhood pumpkin carving party and YSA bonfire in the rain, but thankfully the rain stopped just before and we saw this beautiful double rainbow in the sky.
Fortunately, the YSA bonfire was taking place at another neighbor's house, so Shawn and I split our time between the two. While kids were busy carving pumpkins and gorging themselves on food at the neighborhood party, the YSA's were gathered around a bonfire roasting things.
THis was one of the favorite yard "decorations." (Yes, it's a pig and the fire comes out of his rear end.)
The kids got their pumpkins all carved and entered into the contest. Samantha's baby gourd in a carriage - with actual rolling wheels.
Shawn's scream.
Megan's chosen design.
Jonas' scar eye.
Amelia's. Originally, they were stacked and had dry ice smoke coming out of them, but they wouldn't stay up for her.
And for a second year in a row, Samantha took home a prize. (And for a second year in a row, there were tears from Amelia for not winning. Not as bad as last year though because another nice neighbor donated their "trophy" to her. And we made sure that she had moved to the bonfire when prizes were given out - as a precaution.)
