HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Savannah the "Good Pink Witch"




October 31st, 2008: HALLOWEEN!
I had so much fun taking the kids out individually to pick out their costumes! Each of them were able to pick out something that fit their personality! We had a ton of fun trick-or-treating and visiting family.

Pumpkin Sculpting!

THE NIGHT BEFORE ALL HALLOWS EVE....
We decided to snag a few of our pumpkins and CARVE THEM! The kids were pretty excited about touching the "guts" and mom was just focused on keeping all of her fingers!! They each got to design their own. I think next year we will use BIGGER pumpkins so that we have room for all the "extras" the kids wanted (eyebrows, scars, ears, ect) on the faces!
Big brother taking charge...
Savannah's pumpkin was soo skinny, there were hardly any guts in there...it was almost SOLID pumpkin! Didn't slow her down, she just set aside the spoon and started ripping it out! Atta girl!
Aiden just COULDN'T BELIEVE there were "guts" inside pumpkins...until he took a look for himself. It was funny and delightful watching them all experience the smell, feel, and taste of their pumpkins. We should do this EVERY YEAR!

My happy little pumpkin sculptors!

"BOO!"

Priceless!
