With several recent trips and weekends spent tailgating, we hadn’t gotten around to carving our pumpkin. Since today was Halloween, I figured we better get on it. This year, Brenda had found a great little ladybug costume for Hailey that she ordered online. We had asked Grace what she wanted to go as and she had told us she wanted to be a tiger.
