More Halloween Fun

Last night we carved the pumpkins we had obtained from the pumpkin patch (something I never got around to posting about). The kids had fun drawing faces onto the pumpkins and then helping to clean the pumpkins out. Of course, you may notice a common theme in the pictures below...





Alex was just a tad distracted by this "new" Halloween video we started for them while they carved their pumpkins.

After they finished helping us clean out the pumpkins, Bill and I did the carving while the kids sat in the den to continue watching the video and enjoy a special apple themed treat: cinnamon baked apples. Last year we did the toasted pumpkin seeds, but they weren't much of a hit so we opted not to do it again this year. Surprisingly, Alex did not care for the baked apple, though Nathan and Amy happily ate theirs and later helped eat mine and Bill's.



Here are the final carved products:



Finally, the kids decorated their small pumpkins using the stickers we purchased at the pumpkin patch. They always have fun with that. Alex and Nathan each put a face on both sides of their pumpkins. Alex did this so he could make one mean face and one happy one. Amy chose to give her pumpkin one big jumbled face.





The kids are really looking forward to tomorrow and all the fun activities we have planned. I am, too!
