Here are our pumpkins all ready for carving. They were picked out with great care!
Hattie wanted in on all the fun. She inspected all the pumpkins and deemed them ready to be carved.
Bailey was a little put off by all the pumpkin "goop". How can you maintain perfect cleanliness and carve pumpkins? When someone has an answer could you please let us know? By the way, she was Bella for Halloween.
Brenden wasn't able to carve pumpkins with us but he enjoyed all the pleasures of Halloween parties and trick or treating. What a great Ninja!
Bryan thought he was a little too old for Halloween this year...you know, being 14 makes you practically and adult! He did help carve a wicked, scary cat for us.
I think Caleb might have had the most fun carving this year. Could it be because he only had to pick out the template and then cheer his Mom and Dad on while they carved his "Freak Spider"? He was so proud of himself for picking out yummy cookies to enjoy while all the festivities were going on. Don't you think he makes a good "Scary Skeleton"?
Kristen really enjoyed carving her pumpkin. Nothing about it bothered her. She is far too daring to use a template. She just carved what she felt and it turned out great. She enjoyed being Alice from the Twilight Series.
We were so happy to have Sarah home with us this year, Manhatten has had her for far too long! She carved a great Edward profile from the Twilight Series. Bailey was ready to fight for the template but Sarah won out.
Here are the finished products! Aren't they great? It's too bad that we didn't have a single trick or treater darken our doorstep this year. I guess these guys were just a little too scary for them.
Nana enjoyed the warmth of the fire while everyone created. Aunt Earline had just gotten home from the hospital earlier that day so we didn't want to stress her too much by taking pictures or moving the hooplah around her. She enjoyed the nice fire all comfy in her special chair.
Cecil was kind enough to take the kids trick or treating this year since it was right in the middle of a great Razorback football game. Lynne and I got to stay at my house and "Woo Pig Sooieee". We then enjoyed the fruits/candy of the kids labor!
