This morning we carved pumpkins. Ethan made a 2 sided scary monster, Alex made a "Woot" Monster pumpkin (Woot is carved into it, and the 2 o's are eyes) and Christian just carved one to get to the pumpkin seeds, his favorite part of Halloween. I will post pictures later.
After the seeds are roasted they are going to work on their Pumpkin Chunkers.
They had their first practice run yesterday. Practice is a good thing.
Ethan figured out that he needs stronger sticks, Alex realized that just throwing it is not a bad idea, but could use improvement. Christian is still constructing the "megachunker" so hasn't had a chance to try it all together.
I will snap some pictures of today's practice and post them later.
Trick-or-treating is tonight. We are going to go to the mall and then the sub behind us. We are either going to eat at Marty's work or have a spooky dinner:
Guts and Eyeballs (Spaghetti and Meatballs), Witch Fingers (Rosemarry breadsticks), Brain goo (vegetable dip in a head of cauliflower, with vegetables to dip), caramel apples and of course, trick or treating candy for dessert.
Our favorite show, Ghost Hunters is doing a live show tonight. We are going to make hot chocolate and pop corn and see is we can stay up late enough to watch the whole thing!
Last night I had to call the police on the kids upstairs... again. They didn't answer the door because they thought it was me. Ha! One of the officer that came out was here the last time and was pissed. They ended up giving them a citation and told them that if they come out again - ever - they were going to jail. Midland's sound ordinance is pretty strict. They can go to jail the second call, and I guess the fine is pretty big.
On another note, the apartment manager said she walked back here this morning and is disgusted by what she saw. Cigarette butts everywhere , the garage is so full of trash that it smells in my garage, they park wherever they want to - usually blocking people in- and even parked in my driveway.
The guy across the cul-de-sac just got out of the hospital after having 1/3 of his lung removed due to lung Cancer. He should not have to listen to their radio and revving their cars, kwim?
I guess I should feel bad for them, though. They were raised to be this rude. When their co-signers (parents) were contacted about the noise the first thing they all said was "They do realize that they are College students, don't they?" As if that is a free pass to be as loud and rude as they want. They are just spoiled rich kids that have never been taught any different. Its a shame, really.
Anyway, I am off to supervise a pumpkin chunking practice session, and take lots of pictures.
