Pumpkin Carving :)

We finally decided to carve our pumpkin today!

We took the pumpkin and Bernoulli out and enjoyed the great fall weather out on the deck.

 

*after taking all of the guts out, Andrew started cutting...

 

*the ghosts are starting to appear...

 

*Bernoulli was REALLY sick last week, but he seems better now...

 

*he kept getting in the way  (in typical Bernoulli-style)

*fine detailing

Chiefs vs Raiders

After spending most of the weekend worrying about Bernoulli and cleaning "stuff" around the house, we had friends come over to watch the Chiefs play (and win) against the Raiders!!

Joe and Shelley came over with a pumpkin roll from the Bloom Baking Co. city market!  mmmmmm, sooo good!!

Roy and Tiffany came over with...  Boulevard, of course!

Rhys marinated and cooked chicken breasts.

Andrew grilled hot dogs, brats, and hamburgers.

Melissa and Andy came for a little bit to say hi!
