Tim and I had a great Halloween weekend. First off, it is rare that Halloween falls on a Saturday. It definitely gives one a better chance to have a little fun. The weekend kicked off with the Charlotte Bobcats opening game. Janet was able to hook us up with Row A tickets to the season opener agains the Knicks. The Bobcats won and we were pumped. Halloween itself was low-key. We carved our first family pumpkin together...It was a group effort and we had a great time. We wanted to paint our pumpkin because it is less messy and things tend to rot here a little quicker than at home. However, for some reason, the idea of painting pumpkins is a foriegn idea to the people of Charlotte. Tim and I searched high and low for pumpkin paint kits--we went to Wal-Mart, Target, Rite Aid, CVS, Walgreens, Michaels, Harris Teeter in search of a kit and came up unsuccessful. C'est la vie...we carved out of necessity.
After pumpkin carving, we went and spent the evening with our Indianapolis turned Charlotte-based NASCAR friends, the Larsens and the Weavers. Both couples are from Indianapolis and relocated to Charlotte due to a NASCAR position. Between our three families, we have Hamilton Southeastern, Carmel, and Zionsville high schools covered. Most of all, we love the fact that we have fellow Colts Fans in the city. While I did not take any pictures from the party, I did take a few of our pumpkin carving adventure. We had a great time this weekend and hope that you had a good Halloween too!
The unlucky pumpkin...the object of our carvings...
Tim...the focused "surgeon" drawing his lines to begin cutting.
Tim was adorable when carving the pumpkin. He kept mentioning that his Dad was the one who would cut the top and clean the inside of the pumpkin...These tasks were a first for Tim. He is SO FOCUSED!!!!
Tim is trying his best not to give you his famous "thumbs up" sign.
This pumpkin had a ton of seeds and strings.
Don't kid yourself. This picture of me with the "pumpkin guts" was for show....the honor was all Tim's
Boys will be Boys....Apparently Tim wanted to be Peter Pan for Halloween or a Toys R Us Kid because he does not want to grow up! Ha!
Now it looks like he is holding the pumpkin like a little baby...
Tim forgot to take pictures of me carving our little monster! The finished work!
I do love the look of Jack-o-Lanterns!
Tim trying to scare me!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO ALL!
