All the Pumpkin Fun

We started our pumpkin carving last Monday (yes, a week ago). Since the girls really did no carving their Daddy did make them help clean out the inside. L cried at first.....I think she was a little afraid of it.

Here are their finished pumpkins. The girls each picked their own design.

Then A. carved her pumpkin on Tuesday afternoon. Lest anyone think we actually gave our 7 year old a knife and said go at it, know she didn't really carve it herself. That was Dad's job. Then on Wednesday night, we had our Trunk or Treat at church. Being that we are new at this church I didn't know exactly what to expect. But it was big time! There were games and a bouncy house and a hay ride and then we had trunk or treat. Ya'll. These folks really get into decorating their cars. Check these out!

This was a puppet inside a theater in the back of a truck. There was a boy handing out candy beside it.

And I know you can't tell really well in this picture, but this was a huge spider on top of this truck. And lots of green spider webs around it.

There was this truck where the kids went 'fishing' for their candy.

These were only a few of many decorated vehicles. The girls got tons of candy.

On Friday I decided I needed to carve my pumpkin. K took pictures because he didn't think I would finish it.

I proved him wrong!

On Friday evening, were invited to a friends home where we had some snacks and the girls went on a "haunted trail walk". Made especially for little kids so as not to be too scary. There were about 4 other families there and we all went trick or treating in our downtown area.

There was even live music. And I had to share this 'costume' with you all. One of the mom's is due to have her third baby in about two weeks. This was her costume. Cute, huh?!!?

And here were our little trick or treaters!

We had Peter Pan and Wendy.

And Ariel in her pink dress.And B was lucky enough to have two costumes.

The grandparents got him this skeleton costume and we had the blue monster costume for him. So he wore one to each event.

Ya'll have a great Monday. I'm off to do laundry,go to a school conference, and to get groceries all before noon. See ya tomorrow!
