My parents visited this past week and while they were here we finally carved the pumpkins that have been sitting in our living room for the past month. The kids began the process by drawing their ideas.
Next came the scooping part of the process which neither of them wanted to be involved in. Apparently the insides of a pumpkin feel squishy and gross. Thank goodness Dad and Grandma were around.
Isabel decided to have Grandma draw a cat face on her pumpkin and then they carved it out together.
Cole also had Grandma draw the face on his pumpkin (he wanted his pumpkin to look like a Lego mini-fig), but he did most of the carving himself.
Dad decided he didn't need Grandma's help. He drew the face and carved his pumpkin all by himself.
I didn't do a pumpkin this year. Instead I opted for picking the pumpkin seeds out of the slime to be roasted into a tasty cinnamon-sugar snack.
It was a lot of fun and I'm so glad we were able to do it while my prane were visiting.
We also had lots of fun Trick-or-Treating on Wednesday night. We had dinner with some friends and then went out to collect a bounty of candy. The weather was even kind enough to hold off the rain until we got back home.
I hope everyone enjoyed their Halloween as much as we did.
