Halloween Fun!

Here are Adam, Jonathan, and Michael when they just completed their Halloween pumpkins. We had such a good time carving them this year. The boys scraped their own pumpkins clean (and all over the kitchen- thank you newspaper) and drew their own faces. Craig and I then helped them carve their face according to their ability - so we all have 10 fingers left. Jonathan was smart enough to get his small wagon to tote his around for a while and finally outside to be lit. We then roasted the pumpkin seeds to try them. They weren't too bad even for little boys. It turned out to be a great night.

A Cute Toothless Grin!

I decided this year that we should carve our pumpkins. We don't always carve them. Sometimes we paint them or stick "Mr. Potato Head" pieces in them to give them facial features. This year, I figured that all of our children were old enough that I could manage the mess and chaos and that I probably won't be that brave with twins in tow next year. I love this picture! The two toothless grins are so adorable. Ethan made this pumpkin. He meticulously scraped the insides out and drew a face on the front. He really took his time and tried hard to do a good job. Craig helped him carve it. It turned out very well and he was very excited.
