Animal carcasses, pumpkin painting, obligatory game of knock out and great food….yep it was our monthly Supper Club. The Roote family hosted our get together in their beautiful home and it was a wonderful time. The evening started with some finishing touches on the food, conversation and kids running around everywhere…pure chaos. We had a great meal of ham, mashed potatoes, pineapple stuffing, glazed carrots, brownies and cupcakes. Elisa made the cupcakes look like ghosts with about 3 inches of white icing and two tootsie rolls for eyes.

The indoor activities were cut short by a renegade squirrel that played Russian roulette with power transformer…the lights went out. The whole house got on their shoes and jackets to brave the chilly evening in the back yard. It quickly got dark and we had to rely on the neighbors luck of having their house at the beginning of the next transformer to run an extension cord to Nathanial’s halogen work light. We then started the pumpkin painting, knock out, soccer and discussions. The kids had a great time and everyone stayed fairly warm either running after kids, playing games or huddling around the halogen light.

Here are some pictures:

Pumpkin painting fun.
