Today is the last day for the American Dog Rescue costume contest on Facebook. We need your votes for our little witch!

If we win, we get a $250 donation to an animal charity of our choice (plus we get a much needed gift card for pet supplies as well). Our donation will be given to our favorite place, Best Friends Animal Sanctuary!

Right now I have no idea how our photo is doing in the standings, but if you are able, please visit the costume contest and then give that “love it” button a click for our Baby! Thank you!! Spread the word on Facebook and Twitter too if you can, we sure would love to win this for Best Friends!

 

What will you be doing for Halloween? We will be carving pumpkins, handing out candy, and of course, dressing up! Here is what Halloween looks like around our house this year (through the fun that is Instagram that is)!

To say this year was a bust is a bit of an understatement. The weather was just all wrong, and though we did get 3 pumpkins, they didn’t quiet measure up. Behold the pumpkin of 2010:

Weighing in at over 60 pounds, this was a massive pumpkin! We had a few smaller pumpkins as well, but we were both so proud of this one! My husband even sculpted it (and might I add, he did so without real tools, using only a spoon and a knife). Here is a video of the spooky pumpkin when it was finished:

And now, without further fanfare, here is our pumpkin harvest for 2011:

Three of the cutest little pumpkins you could ever see! These are not from mini-pumpkin seeds however, they are regular pumpkins that just didn’t get any bigger because we had such a crazy growing season this year. I put them next to our Corpse Bride village so you can see just how little they actually are.

Here’s hoping we grow some more big ones next year! Looks like we will be buying a few for carving/sculpting this Halloween. What about you? Do you carve pumpkins? Do you grow your own?
