Pumpkins & Halloween

PUMPKINS
We didn't get a chance to carve our pumpkins until the morning of Halloween. So after breakfast Paul brought them all in and set them up on the table for the kids to begin decorating/carving. He cut all the tops off of them so they could get all the fun pumpkin guts out.

Zach didn't want to get his pumpkins' insides out so Paul did his. He did want to paint it though so we gave him some black paint and a paintbrush.

Kristin enjoying gutting hers.
Lauren did her entire pumpkin all herself, from start to finish, the only one to do so. She managed to keep all her fingers too which was a bonus!

A picture of all 4 of them at the table. Yes, Zach is just wearing underwear, we stripped him down because of the paint.

The finished products from left to right: Zach's, Lauren's, Kristin's and Megan's.
HALLOWEEN
Lauren was a cave woman, Kristin was an Indian, Zach was a pirate and Megan, well, she was a crazy woman! That's what she called herself, she put her costume together herself from what we had at home.

Kristin had two of her friends come over and the 3 of them went out trick-or-treating themselves. Lauren wanted to take Zach but not Megan so Paul ended up going with the other three. Here's Zach trying to fill his bag before going out!

Unfortunately it was not a very good night for trick-or-treating. It started drizzling then raining then eventually it down poured but we (luckily!) were home by then. I have so much candy leftover since not many kids came to the door. You think I can get away with saving it till next year? Nah, just kidding!
Here's what they came home with during their short time out:

And here's Zach enjoying his loot!
He's eating a peanut butter cup with an open box of Nerds next to him. He had 3 of those boxes opened before I could get the candy put away and out of his reach. He was really enjoying himself!
