Pumpkin Carving Contest 2007

The PCC (not to be confused with Polynesian Cultural Center) was a big success. Zach and I were ninjas. Maybe we spent 40 bucks on our costumes.

We tried to make Talia be our mini-ninja multiple times, but we were unsuccessful.

Mostly she was just very uneasy in our presence.

Chad was a magician and Rachel was a boy scout because her magician’s assistant costume sucked.

Nostrils: actual size.

And this is what you come home to if you refuse to dispose of your pumpkins when asked to by Chad.

hey, you're blog is funny because you say what we're all thinking, except we don't know we're thinking it until you say it and then we're like ,'yah, that's what I would've said too', like with that guy being a pedo. Everyone sees him and is like 'who's the perv?' and then they read what you wrote and they're like 'yah, she's right he does look like a pedo.'
So that's your little niche.

btw, I found you through Kristal's blog, you don't know me.

Erica said...

lol I should probably state that Craig is not in fact an actual pedophile.

Michelle said...

I appreciate Zach's enthusiasm, he was NINJA. Erica your spider face was the best.

I am stunned with the creative mind that thought up the burning pumpkin, who did this?

"Not to be confused with Polynesian Cultural Center" Brilliant as always my daughter.

I love the flaming pumpkin head! I saw some guy on tv that did the same thing the other day. Great idea. Also (besides the ninjas of course), the Office costumes were top notch. Zach's ninja pose alone won the contest.

poor Craig, now his name will come up the Pefophile on Google (prolly not, but the thought is creepy huh?)

Okay, so this being my second debut on the ever so popular Tartraz blog, I am very sad that this picture is as unfortunate as the last. Please please please let the third time be the charm?

Also, Philip said that he likes you and Zach and thinks that you guys are funny. I translated that to mean that we should hang out, and soon. Is there a Suns kick off party in order? My tiny tiny house could be used if necessary...

The Fletchies said...

love the party. but is it just me or were there a surprising lack of costumes? next year that should be the ticket into the party...not that I'm pretending to plan it for your or anything...sincerest apologies.

Case said...

i don't drink erica (therefore I was not wasted) haha.
so funny good documentation.

each of the two said...

well, one thing to be said about your halloween, at least that baby looks terrified in every pic....

Erica said...

Laura I agree with you, I was pissed at all the non-costume wearers. However I'm also pissed at you for not coming.

Mel-mels all your pictures are good and also skinny, so shut up.

And yes let's hang out, and yes Suns Kick Off is in order! All purple and orange food, everyone agree?

Erica said...

Chris - I had a feeling his flaming head idea was not entirely original.

Alisse Baldwin said...

Why does your hair still look perfect in the last pic of you even after you had been wearing a Ninja head-dress all night? I kind of totally hate you.

MeL said...

I'm sending you an e-mail about the suns party. Apparently you didn't know just how serious I was when I suggested it...sucks for you.
