"Halloween Fun"

It's Halloween, and this year we had three pumpkins to carve. And you know we can't just carve pumpkins.. NO! We did fancy pumpkins. With all the appropriate tools and patterns, we got to work. Opening them up, scooping them out, and cleaning the insides is certainly the most fun and gooey part. In one of our pumpkins, the seeds had actually started to sprout! Landon, you're not quite big enough to be trusted with a carving knife, so you scooped and "cut" some of the cutaway pieces, while Mom, Dad, and Nina did the real artwork. You insisted that Daddy do a mummy, Nina do a witch, and Mommy do a ghost. So we did what we were told. And they turned out beautifully! Then it was inside to have a quick Halloween supper of Mummy Dogs (hot dogs wrapped in crescent rolls) and then get ready for trick-or-treating!! So you donned your spider suit again, and Shelby her Miss Muffett dress. We've never been trick-or-treating in JuJu's neighborhood before, but we got tons of candy- the good stuff too-CHOCOLATE!! We even had quite a fright as we walked up to one house which had mechanical ghosts and ghouls. Shelby pooped out on the way home, and you were pretty worn out too!
