Well dadgum, that was a hoot and a half! Kelly and Göran’s pumpkin carving party this afternoon was awesome! We had dressed Ethan and Hudson up in their respective doctor’s outfits and when we got to the party, there were loads of kids there to play with, all dressed up as pirates, spiders, a princess and a skeleton… and the hostess herself was face painted as a tiger!
“What about you then? What did you dress up as?“ you ask. Well, Shaena and I decided to dress up as something arguably even scarier than all the pirates and spiders in the world: 2 Canadians! Shaena in a lumberjack shirt, me in a hockey shirt, a Canada-napsack, a Canada hat, and apparel with Canadian flags all over… the works! And our gift to the hosting couple: A bottle of Canadian maple syrup of course!
Anyways; besides loads of cool kids to play with, Kelly and Göran had prepared food and drinks and party snacks for everyone and as we all know; keeping a) the blood sugar levels up for the adults at all times, and b) the kids occupied with toys or games or something they can stuff their little faces with, is the key to a successful shindig involving kids.
Shaena was on carving duty and I was on kid watch/play duty and we had an absolute blast!

Yes, it is the Fabulous Hudson Hornet!
Hudson and HudsonAnd this is how it's done:
1: Start by posing for the camera with your pumpkin
2: Open up the top and gut the pumpkin. If you are really ambitious, you can oven roast the seeds afterwards.
3: Cut out a really scary face in your pumpkin
4: When you are done, pose with your pumpkin again! 
Say hello to The Nightmare Before Christmas-pumpkin!
