Happy Halloween!

I haven't really done much for Halloween in years, unless you count sitting on the couch in the dark (scary!) watching the first half of Hostel. (The movie is so sick and deeply disturbing there's really no need to watch more than that.) This year I went for the double whammy: I carved pumpkins AND dressed up! Here's me holding my pumpkin, obviously.

Can anyone identify this molecule? It's everyone's favorite!

Mike worked really hard to carve an awesome design on his pumpkin. We bought one of those pumpkin carving kits, and he was going to carve out a picture of three wolves howling at the moon. But, the pieces were too intricate, and Mike had a card time popping the appropriate shapes out of the pumpkin. After hours of work, he flipped his pumpkin over and carved a generic smile with triangle eyes in about 30 seconds. Keyton would have approved.

Some mean people my freshman year called me Peter Pan after I chopped all my hair off. Instead of continuing to feel bad about this, I finally decided to embrace it. Props to Mama Meerkat for making me this sweet Peter Pan costume, and props to Larry for making me this sweet dagger. (I even match Keety; check out his blog!) Mike is Captain Hook...or just a regular pirate with a hook. Whatever. We're a cute couple. We match.

I think Mike might be a real pirate!

"Don't worry: this will only be the most painful experience of your life."

I would like to inform all readers of the extent of my artistic capabilities - my three wolves design looked fabulous, it would have easily been the hottest dang pumpkin on the block. The fact that the artistic medium for my masterpiece just happened to be an impossibly stubborn pumpkin should not reflect on the artist or his skills.

I had to clarify this as Katie refused to incorporate it into the story.

Dang cute costumes. What happened to Natalie's? Any requests for next year? Keyton and B.S. need a costume, too. And NatPat.
