Happy Boo Day

Daddy had to work again this Halloween but Halle and I joined up with some cousins and Trick-or-Treated like crazy. Halle had the choice of being a pirate or a fairy princess (since I already had those costumes made) and for the last few months she insisted on fairy princess, so as you wish! She caught on to the concept of Trick-or-Treating this year and the only hesitation was the houses that were decorated real scary. We had a ton of fun, after Trick-or-Treating we went to Dave and Ginas house and scarfed down some delicious homemade doughnuts! Which is a very welcome tradition of my sister-in-law Gina!



I hadn't been to a ward party since we moved into our house but my mom joined with me for the Trunk-or-Treat party and boy oh boy was it a hit. There were soooo many people there, sooooo many yummy soups and pies and of course a parking lot full of super cute trunks and kids! (Thanks Mom I couldn't have made it through the night without you) My favorite trunk was Brother Picanco sitting in a huge (fake) bowl of pasta sauce and he was decorated as spaghetti and meatballs. And Sister Picanco wore a shirt with the Prego Label on it... and this was her way of announcing that she was pregnant! How cute!

Mr. Pumpkin Carver

Dano is definitely our go to guy for pumpkin carving contests, this Duke Blue Devil Carving was this years entry for our ward party, it didn't win but I am pretty sure it was all little kids that voted (besides my mom and i) and they all must have been TarHeel fans. I wish had a picture of it lit up but it still looks great.

This one was from last year....Dano did the Bronco pumpkins... and the witch pumpkin is my one and only good carving that I have ever done. They others are from Curtis and Steph, I think everyone's looks fantastic.
Three years ago Dano carved ME turning a double play. Carving pumpkins will always be a tradition at our house. I do have one other picture of Dans carving from four years ago, but I must just have it as a print and not digital... he carved the UVSC Wolverine and it is amazing.
Before we know it Halle will be out-carving Daddy!
