Pumpkin carving and trick or treat

Friday and Saturday night were busy nights for us. Papa Mantle came by on Friday night (we missed you Mimaw) to carve pumpkins with Ella - our annual tradition. Papa carved a silly guy with dread locks and Daddy carved a cool spider while Ella played with all the gooey insides. Fun!










Trick or Treating on Saturday night was a blast! We started off with having a pizza/ play party over at Jenn's - once again, another tradition we have started. Ella's old sitter, Tiffany, Scott, Chloe and Zora joined in, as well as, Mimi, Papa, and our neighbors, Jamie, Dan, Shelby and Sidney all were part of the festivities. Ella was the cutest little ladybug and definitely the leader of the pack...she held Chloe's hand and dragged her up to each door. Ella was all about "trick or treating" and getting as much candy as she could. We walked around for about 1 1/2 hours and then headed back to Jenn's so the girls could play - and eat candy - wow, they were so wound up. It was a late bedtime - 10:00 and that is why Ella (& Daddy) are still asleep - why am I up? Who knows, most likely because I am in major "nesting" mode right now and feel the need to always be doing something productive - plus, the circulation in my right arm is all screwed up and driving me bonkers. Anyways, it was a fabulous night!
