Pumpkins Everywhere!

These past two weekends Will and I have gone to two pumpkin carving parties.  We just love any reason to be with friends (and lets not forget the food and drinks).

Can you guess who did each pumpkin?  Will make the face on the left and I made the face on the right (can you tell I teach TK?).

Here are all the pumpkins from the first party:

This past weekend we carved more pumpkins and stayed out late into the morning with our friends (yes I was the one falling asleep on the couch).

There were so many pumpkins I had to take a couple of pictures.

Will's pumpkin is the large one in the back and mine is the little on that says "eek."

 

Here's a close up of Will's, he is an artist he didn't use a stencil like I did.

Of course a pumpkin party isn't complete without a family picture with Wally!

Hunting

This weekend marked the open of mushroom season, and Will and Matt decided to take the opportunity to test Wally.  They were a bit wary about taking an unblooded dog out on a hunt like this for the first time, but he handled himself surprisingly well.  When he came into a clearing and found himself surrounded by 4 mushrooms he didn't even panic. A couple of our friends squash hunt but personaly I just don't get it. Without the danger to the hunt, where is the interest? Fungus kills more people in America each year than sharks do!

ANyhow, this is a picture of their haul.

(Matt wrote this antidote for this post, thanks Matt)!

We are drying out the mushrooms in the dehydrator we got at Christmas (thanks Joey). Here is the first batch, and there is more drying.

Now since the holiday season in starting hopefully I will be posting more often.
