The days before Halloween were filled with sorting through decorations and preparing for the party. This year we made our own piñata and carved our “jack-o-melons” ahead of time.
We’ll have pictures from the massive party coming in the next couple of days, so definitely check back in!

We’re still recovering and attemping to clean up after our massive Halloween party. The kids at school are still buzzing about the events of the day. Pictures coming soon!
"Real" pumpkins aren't cheap here, but melons certainly are.
