Punkins and Pumpkins

We finally got around to carving some pumpkins and it ended up being highly entertaining.

Lane was so excited about the whole deal, he'd been pestering us for days.  So when he finally opened up the silly thing, his reaction was completely unexpected.  The smell overpowered him and he about puked.  Seriously.  Instead, Daddy got to clean out the innards.

He recovered in time to give instructions on how he wanted it carved.  And once the candles were lit, he was excited about the whole deal again.

Morgan, on the other hand, was not effected by the smell and had so much fun cleaning out the pumpkin she would hardly let us help.

She also enjoyed getting to decide what shapes to make the eyes and nose.

The finished product.  Each pumpkin was supposed to have the number of teeth corresponding to the punkins age but mommy botched that when she accidentally cut Morgan's 2nd tooth off.  Oh well!

Our trick or treaters.  When Lane saw Logan's pumpkin outfit, he was upset that it had two teeth since he wasn't even 1 yet!  "Mommy, he doesn't match his pumpkin!"

We got to trick or treat a few days early at the local assisted living home.  We appreciated being warm and dry as we walked the hallways gathering treats.(:

Happy Halloween!
