Happy (almost) Halloween!

A few weeks ago, my mom reminded me that I had some Halloween decorations here with me in Atlanta. So after pulling half the boxes out of the crawlspace in my bedroom, I found the bag containing the Halloween "puppets" I made in clay class sometime in elementary school. Say hello...


Then my dear friend Annalise came to visit while she was in town for a work conference. Visiting another mutual friend, we got to carve a pumpkin! Carving pumpkins is probably my favorite Halloween activity, besides eating candy corn, of course.
