Halloween Craziness

Jack — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 19:13:49 +0000

This Halloween we tried to do a bunch since Lorelai semi-understands part of some things sometimes once in a while. We left work a little early to rush back and pick Lorelai up. We met up with Lorelai’s cousins Aidan and Tammy and took some snapshots (more updates later, maybe?) We then drove back to Chino Hills Spectrum for their annual Halloween carnival (traffic was horrible). Lorelai had fun running around and got lots of “ohh, how cute” :)

At around 7 something, we decided to call it a day and headed back home, but then we saw tons of cars parked outside of our neighborhood (not Sundance II, but right next to us). Jeannie demanded suggested that we park and go walk around (what a good suggestion!) Some of our neighbors went all out, and there’s even one that dressed up as Elmo!!!

Lorelai: “OMG!!!! ELMO!!!!!!! ELMO!!!!!”

Check here for some pics.

Happy Halloween!

Yesterday Jeannie took Lorelai & Grandma Lin to see Grandma & Great Grandma Chen and to meet up with Lorelai’s cousins Tammy & Aidan hoping to get some candy at the mall while I stayed home taking care of Trick-Or-Treaters. It turned out that most of the stores in the mall didn’t start giving out candy before 6pm, so they ended up not getting that much at the mall.

Feeling cheated, however, Jeannie took Lorelai out to our neighbors after getting home for her first Trick-Or-Treat and got a decent amount of candy, which made ~~Jeannie~~ Lorelai really happy.

Here are some pics of the little dressed up people:

Pumpkin Carving

As promised, I attempted to carve a pumpkin for Lorelai’s first Halloween, and to prepared, we went to the neighborhood Albersons to get a pumpkin saw. There was a $1 regular cheapo one and a $4.99 motorized electric saw (awesome, I didn’t know they make these). But since we only spent $1.99 on the pumpkin, Jeannie didn’t feel it was necessary to get the electric saw (I felt different obviously, but oh well). Went home to get started:

Things started out OK for 2 mins, and that’s when the cheapo saw broke in half… *ahem* I told you so *ahem*

OK, I am not going to go back to Alberson to get another saw, so I just pulled out one of the cheapo steak knives we had, and tried to go to town, when only after 30 seconds the knife popped out of its handle…

WT!?!? Stupid… I ended up finishing it up with my trusty Leatherman.

This concludes our pumpkin carving episode. Hope you enjoyed it, and Happy Halloween!
