Halloween

Last year I didn't dress up at work for Halloween. My colleagues said I should dress up this year and I agreed if they could come up with something because I have never been good at thinking up good costumes and if I was going to be wearing it at work, in public, then it has to been pretty good. So a bunch of us came up with the idea of crayons. There was six of us that were different color crayons. Me and two other people did all the work putting the costumes together. It was really fun. I got so many compliments through out the day as I went to different school sites. The hat was pretty silly, but it was fun anyway. On Halloween we spent the afternoon and evening with Jeff's sister's family in Tracy. We went trick-or-treating with them and had a great time. "The purple crayon" just a funny side-note, a couple of my students recognized what I was. The next day (well Monday) one of my students looked at me very puzzled and said you're not a purple crayon Becky. She was very confused. I love my job!

We put Rhona in one of Jeff's old football Jerseys.

One night Jeff and I carved pumpkins. Something that I love doing. I was so excited. I chose a very detailed picture and it took me a very long time and and caused pain to my fingers from sawing so much. Jeff actually had to finish it for me. I didn't get a picture of our pumpkins that night because I figured I could do it the next day. I was so sad when I went outside the next day and they were already molding and gross as you can tell from the picture. Booooooo! (no pun intended) Jeff's was so mangled you couldn't tell what his was anymore. Anyway, I guess next year I won't be buying my pumpkins at Walmart.
