Halloween 2010



Our devil and princess
Annual pumpkin carving with the Willards-Conor's is on the far left and Kevin's is 2nd from the right.
Hmmm...What is inside these pumpkins
Kevin tasting his pumpkin/spaghetti squash. We decided our pumpkin cross pollenated with our squash. It was solid inside. Cool color though, and it glowed really neat

Halloween this year snuck up on me. The kids were lucky to get the costumes they did, but no one was complaining. We went to our ward trunk-or-treat and got a ton of candy. The fun part of the night was the dance they had after. We discovered that Josie is a dancer at heart. She danced to every single song and didn't want to leave. Josie really discovered Halloween this year. When I brought home her costume a few days before Halloween she kept saying she wanted to go to Halloween so she could wear the dress. We took the kids to a few houses in the neighborhood and she was picky about what door she would go to, if it was decorated scary she held back. I love it when they still want to hold your hand and let you protect them.

We carved pumpkins with the Willards this year and Conor did his pumpkin all by himself. He worked really hard on it and wanted to do another one when he finished. I am glad he is old enough to do it himself, so I don't have to. Thank goodness for the new pumpkin carving knives that are sort of kid friendly.

I feel the same way about those knives. Our Big Guy pretty much designed and carved his all by himself. And my second son did the same except for some tight spots. Really, really helped.
