The kids had a lot of fun carving pumpkins this year. The last couple of years they have painted pumpkins, but this year we thought they were ready to try carving again. The girls had a great time cleaning out the pumpkins, choosing their designs and actually carving it out themselves. Trace on the other hand didn't enjoy getting his hands dirty, so opted to have Daddy do his dirty work. Daddy made a silly face on Trace's pumpkin. Kaylee chose a cat design and Daddy helped her. They both turned out cute. Kianna decided she wanted a spider pumpkin. We found a cool design online and I let her trace it onto the pumpkin and then told her to carve out the web. While she was carving I was busy in the kitchen trying to bake some pumpkin seeds. When I came back to check on Kianna's progress, I discovered that she had mistakenly carved out the entire web. She had forgotten to carve out the legs, which hold the web in place. Sadly, the entire web and spider fell completely out of the pumpkin. Thankfully, Daddy was able to get the spider and its web back into the pumpkin with the help of a few toothpicks. It was a silly mistake that gave us some laughs. Oh and the pumpkin seeds were a hit, the kids even had seconds. I think it was the cinnamon and sugar...
On Halloween night, we invited a few of our friends, The Hildebrandt's, The Gamel's, and The Leventis', over for some yummy food and trick-or-treating. We had a great time together and got lots of loot!!!
