It’s that time of year again! Nate’s pumpkin carving party. I had the fun task of carrying Max all night, except for the part when I took pictures, then he screamed on the floor and crawled around after me. Which was completely delightful.
Or not.
But, it’s always fun to see everyone and keep up a tradition.
I had Carol’s awesome camera last night, which doesn’t take hand held dark photos well at all, (we’re talking 4-5 second shutter speeds, and I’m not even kidding), so I brought my tripod. And the pics are fabulous!
I love how you can see reflections on the wet pavement, and the leaves….
so festive! Here’s Nate’s…
it’s Max the Vampire from the Scary Godmother books next to Abby’s haunted house.
And a few more…

Wow they look awesome. I think this is the first year that our supermarkets have actually sold pumpkins to carve too as halloween isnt always that big here in Oz, although my daughter loves anything where you get to dress up and have lollies!

The pumpkins are so neat. 🙂
And I feel dumb giving advice to someone with five children, but have you tried a baby carrier? I know a lot of people stop when their kids are little, but the Ergo works well for bigger kiddos. H. wasn’t constant about being carried as he got older, but still definitely has his moments (including most of our time out) and finding something that was geared at distributing the weight well really helped. He’s right around 25 lbs now, so not light. And I like having my hands free for dishes/dinner/mowing the lawn, etc. Just a thought, hopefully helpful?
