Friday night was an adventure for the whole family as Jeff and the boys decided to bake a cake for my birthday! I made a comment to Jeff on the phone about possibly making a cake for Saturday, when our families were coming over for my mom's famous Brunswick stew (which she makes every year for my birthday... even this year when her kitchen is mid-remodel!). He said there's no way I should have to make my own cake, and that he and the boys would do it instead! At first I thought he was joking, but he was completely serious, and I was once again amazed at this wonderful man I married.
Fast forward to Saturday night, and we were pumpkin carving machines! We usually have this done way before the 31st, but this year there just was not enough time! We managed to get them all done, though, and we are happy with how they turned out!
Sunday night it was finally time to take my Jedi trick-or-treating. We were lucky enough to run into a group of friends, and we all went door to door together. Judging from the piles of sugar at the kids' feet, I don't think we'll be buying candy again in this millennium!
