pumpkin carvin, apple dippin, chili eatin kinda week

Last Monday and Wednesday mine and Jaran's family both got together to carve pumpkins and make caramel apples for Halloween. Every year Jaran comes up with a crazy idea for his pumpkin carving.. and he didn't disappoint this year! He cut open the bottom instead of the top, scooped out the insides and then put them on top of the pumpkin to make it looked like an exposed brain.. how creative :)

Friday night we had a ward Halloween party and Jaran and I signed up to bring chili for a chili cook off. Jaran has been on this kick lately where he is loving buying the hottest hot sauce that he can find.. even if it means buying it online. Yes, he bought 3 of the world's hottest sauces made with the ghost pepper and it's pure extract. He's crazy, but loves it and can stand eating it which is even more crazy. Needless to say.. he won the hottest/spiciest chili at the party.

Every Halloween Jaran sews his own costume and this year he seriously did it in like 2 hours. I was impressed.. he wanted to be "Green Man".. and green he was. A full body suit. He loved it. We went to the Utes game that night (post to come) and then went to our friend Brock and Betsy's house for a party with some of our friends and made a bonfire. What an eventful Halloween week we had!
