Pumpkin Carvin' and Halloweenin'

Still trying to catch up! So here we are on a beautiful sunny day at the end of October, carving our pumpkins outside! It was a long beautiful fall that we got to enjoy this year.



Here are the finished masterpieces:

Before we go trick or treating, I like to make a ghoulish dinner for the kids. This year we had 3 other families join in the festivities: the Lamberts, the Bennetts, and the Zundels. It was so fun! Here's the cookie salad dessert Rose made into a little graveyard:I made monster bones and dracula teeth soup (tortilla soup: tortillas for the bones and corn for the teeth), mummy dogs, and brain jello. No pics though, sorry. Here's Aidan and Ethan eating our yummy dinner:

Here are the kids after trick or treating; Batman, Princess, Mario, and Batgirl:

Jack in the Box (Mike) and Wendy (Me):
Princess Mia:

Batman Jacob:

Luigi (Baey) and Mario (Ethan):
A fun time had by all! Ethan wanted to get as much candy as he could so he could sell it to the dentist. He actually got over 5 pounds of candy so he got 12 whole dollars (2 bucks a pound)! I think that was a good idea! He's going to do that every year I think!

And since we went trick or treating on Saturday and Halloween was on a Sunday this year, we did our dinner in a pumpkin on the actual Halloween night (Sunday). Here she is. Aint she beautiful!
