Fox Tales: Pumpkin Party 2007

Tonight was the Fox Family Pumpkin Party. In 2 1/2 years we went from 0 to 5 grandchildren on the Fox side! We weren't sure if we'd get to see everyone dressed up for Trick-or-Treating, so Adam and I had everyone over for a chili supper, mock trick-or-treating and pumpkin carving.

Little Bunny Fu-Fu and her delicious Carrot! (aka Bug and Boo!) We'd like to send a special shout out to cousin Brooklyn for the adorable bunny costume and Auntie Judy for helping with the carrot!

All the cousins. Bo-Peep and her Lost Sheep, the Lobster, and the Bunny and her Carrot! You can't see Bo Peep's staff, but it was decked out with a huge pink bow to match the one in her hair. She knows I LOVE a big bow! The Lobster is the youngest of the clan by 19 days, but he's already bigger than #3 and #4!

Aunt Angie gave us the idea of taking a picture of our carvings in the dark.

Painted faces - check

Pink glow in the dark bracelets - check

Fuzzy bouncy balls - check

WAY TOO MUCH SUGAR FOR ONE NIGHT - CHECK

Is that Aunt Leslie?!?!

Who needs a long handled lighter for these pumpkims?

Sweet Cousin 'Sabana' carving her Star Stuck pumpkin.

All lined up and ready for the judging.

Yummy 'finger' food....

Delicious Pumpkin Cake.

*Please note the gash to the icing on the right side. Today's potty training bribe was having cake at the party tonight. Only, I forgot to stress the tonight, not today, part. After Bug did her 'business' in the potty this afternoon, she helped herself! :)
