We finally got around to carving pumpkins on Saturday, October 29th. I learned something wonderful about pumpkin cleaning...it goes A LOT faster when they are COLD! It is SO much cleaner!! I am sure there are lots of people laughing that I didn't know that before. But seriously, it was the fastest pumpkin cleaning/carving we've ever had, and it was the most pumpkins we've ever had, so that's saying something.
Brynlee's pumpkin on the left with the "scary face" (that's what she requested). Mine is the polka-dotted pumpkin.
Kenny's is first up on the left, Madison's is the spider in the middle (we obviously decided for her) and Tyler chose circle eyes, triangle nose and rectangle mouth. So that's exactly what he got, and he was very pleased with it :)
Monday was Halloween (and Sarah's birthday!). We went to a fun dinner at the Bielozer's before trick-or treating. They are friends from the ward and in our neighborhood. There were several other neighbors there and everyone brought a big pot of soup. We had yummy bread bowls too and hot dogs for the kids. It was delicious! Then we came home to get ready for trick-or-treating. Tyler was a knight, Madi was an alligator (or crocodile...I have no idea) and Brynlee was a butterfly. Madi hated having the head piece on, so this was as good of a picture as we got haha. Her costume lasted like a whole 10 minutes, but that's okay. I should have waited till Kenny was home to take them. I took Ty and Bryn out to collect candy and Kenny stayed here with Mads to pass it out. The kids didn't last very long (thanks to the cold weather and thin costumes), so we were home after like 20 or 25 minutes haha. Then they warmed up and Kenny took Tyler out again for round 2. It was a fun Halloween, but the faster we get rid of all this candy, the better!
