Happy Halloween

Halloween seems to be the second largest holiday in the US -- is it because of pumpkin carving, candy fetching, or costume dressing? Does sticking a knife into a pumpkin relieve stress or allow creativity to take over? Several family members took the plunge and carved pumpkins to light on Halloween. A tradition since the very beginning, son Jack celebrated his October 22 birthday each year with a pumpkin carving contest for all the birthday well wishers. This year was no different. Jack carved two of the featured pumpkins.

After all the Halloween hoopla, don't forget to brush your teeth before retiring. Doesn't that just sound like a mother?
If dressing up in a costume is what you look forward to each year, let yourself go and enjoy the day. Be safe. Have fun. Brush your teeth. Happy Halloween Jessica, Mike, Frank, Jack and Taryn.
