Two nights before Halloween, we finally got around to carving some of our many & big pumpkins we got from Grandpa Hill's garden. They were huge & beautiful!
We tried to keep Zander busy by letting him play with some of the goop! He found out quickly that it didn't taste very good but made a great mess on the ground when thrown!
Elena wanted a funny face but sort of scary face one with her name carved on the back
Gabe carved the "Ghost in the Graveyard" & of course wanted his name carved in the back! (Luckliy they have short names!)
Aundrea carved a ghoulish dog with "Happy Happy" it was supposed to be "Happy Halloween" but it was late & we were tired! Zander (me really) carved a quick weird looking pumpkin.
Then came Halloween Night...
Waiting for the ward trunk-o-treat to start.
Costumes were done very quickly this year due to minds changing at the last minute!
After the bags got filled & running out of candy it was on to the neighborhood!!
Zander- catapillar, Elena- Sleeping Beauty,
Gabe- Vampire Cowboy, Aundrea- Zombie
"No more pictures...Let's get on with the Trick-O-Treating!!"
The weather was just right, bags got filled to rim with candy, everyone was mostly happy- 365 days till next Halloween!
what a great time carving pumpkins! Cute kids! I love the last picture!
