Our neighbor grew a gigantic pumpkin this year and decided to enter it into a contest up north. She ended up winning first place which was $8200.00 (not a misprint!) She was so excited to have won that she had a Halloween party with neighbors and friends. There was a ton of food, Ryan made balloon animals for the kids, and it was a great start to Halloween!
The winning pumpkin!
Ryan doing what he does best!
The kids loved all the Halloween decorations. This witch moved when you got close to it and it scared them at first. After a while they wouldn't leave it alone.
They climbed in bed with Ryan and ended up falling asleep after such a fun party!They normally don't sleep with us, so I thought it was cute that they fell asleep so fast.

Wow, that pumpkin is huge. I wasn't expecting it that big when you told me about it. Ben and I were looking at the blog together and when he saw Ryan making the balloons he said, "Ryan has some interesting talents". I thought it was pretty funny. I want to see a family picture of all of you in your clown costumes.
That is one HUGE pumpkin! My goodness. How long did it take your neighbor to grow that?
OMG that pumpkin is gigantic. Your neighbor must have been growing that thing since like 1996.
The pic of the kids sleeping with Ryan is so cute--poor Allison is on the edge of the bed. One move from Ryan and she would get pushed off the bed.
She only started growing the pumpkin at the beginning of Spring. She had to bid on this special type of pumpkin seed, plus she has a green thumb!
