Halloween Time

Tom has a lot of fun carving the pumpkins for
the kids. He has them design the face and then
he does the carving....safe and effective.

I get the pleasure of cleaning out the pumpkins
(althought Teagan loves cleaning them out too!)
Caleb wants nothing to do with the cleaning
the pumpkins (unless he can use a spoon) and
Savannah just sits and enjoys the whole experience.

I went to Teagan's Halloween party at
school today and help out. I was impressed
with the number of parents who were helping.
It was great to see all the volunteers. Our
friend and neighbor organized the party and
always does such a great job. She is fun!
Teagan loved all the "stations" but especially
liked the mummy he got to make and the
snacks. He is such a sweet little boy, we love
him so much!

After the party I headed home to get Savannah
all ready for her party at preschool.
She was very excited to go and I think she just
looks beautiful as Princess Aurora.

Pumpkin Carving

I love the month of October. I think
it's the change in the temperature. But I also
love to go get pumpkins as a family and carve
them. This year we waited until the day before
Halloween, because in the past, we carve them
a week early and by Halloween night the are
moldy and falling apart from the heat (sad, but
true). So, I carve off the top and clean and
then Tom (he's the details guy), makes the
face that each kid decides they want on their
pumpkin. It's so fun, the kids love it we all
have a good time.

Here is Savannah hugging her pumpkin and
berfore this picture she gave it a kiss and said
"I love you pumpkin"

Teagan and Savannah with their finished
pumpkins.

Teagan, Savannah and Caleb all very happy
with their pumpkins. Little Landon was
sleeping already, but he will get his turn next
year.
