This weekend was a quintessential New England fall weekend. It was beautiful outside...bright, sunny with a nice cool breeze in the air and beautiful fall leaves. Oliver was anticipating this weekend all week because he knew we were having a pumpkin carving party on Sunday. Every day during the week he asked..."is tomorrow Sunday?" Finally, the day came and I think it lived up to all his expectations. We started the afternoon off with some pumpkin crafting with Oliver's best buddies.

Then it was finally time for some actual pumpkin carving. We had a hoard of pumpkins so we had our work cut out for us. As some of you may know, Jennifer takes her pumpkin carving very seriously (ok, not too seriously, but she does love it) and Oliver also took his job of stenciling very seriously as well. I must say, he was quite thorough and I will have him stencil my pumpkin anytime.
Then after the pumpkins were carved the kids had some fun playing dress up. Good times at the Novoa house.
