Pumpkin Carving AND a Fashion Show

Digging out their pumpkin guts!

Melyssa and Jillyan posing with their pumpkin creation - for once they actually agreed to share something AND agreed what to put on it! WOW!! Mark a calendar!

Halloween Cuties!

Naturally...Allyson can't have pictures taken without clowning around, or putting her best modeling face forward! Elly looks more than a little enthralled with the glowing pumpkin!

It was chilly here tonight for the pumpkin lighting...hopefully their Halloween costumes won't need to be swallowed by winter coats. I have the hot chocolate ready for after Trick or Treat (helps warm up and cut down on the loot consumption), the costumes are mostly put together, and the older kids have concrete Trick or Treat strategies! I guess we're ready for Halloween! Manny plans to be Flavor Flav, Allyson is going as mismatch girl, Melyssa will be a zombie waitress, Jillyan - the jury is still out on that one, Evan is a ninja and Elly will either be a cat or a ballerina. I paid a lot of $$ for her dance costume that she wore ONCE!!

The kids are excited. We weighed the loot a couple of years in a row and total weight per year averaged out to 65 pounds. Oh the fun trying to hide that!

Do the kids carve their own pumpkins? Impressive. Any time you can get children to agree on anything a calendar should be marked!

Speaking of marking the calendar...Emily has made posts on back to back days-mark the calendar. I love the fact that you guys do pumpkins all together as a family.
