Tonight was carving night, because, you know, it’s almost Halloween! How did October fly by?! These are the two that we carved. One little boy was very excited-I almost didn’t get a before picture!
The set-up…
and Jack cleaning out the little one. He was loving it! This is the first year he’s actually liked this part.
Sam, on the other hand, was confused as to why Mark was asking him to stick his hands in the guts. So funny!
Jack stayed pretty busy, and Sam joined in once we got him a big spoon.
The pumpkins were all clean, so it was time to carve. Sam was completely uninterested by this point, so he grabbed a good book.
We’re pretty traditional pumpkin carvers. As a matter of fact, the small pumpkin is pretty much what we did
last year!
But unlike last year, we got plenty of pumpkin seeds! Yum!!!
Jack asked Mark to light up our new jack-o-lanterns right away, and he starred at them in awe. And that lasted two seconds! Of course he wanted to blow out the candles!
It sure was a fun family night!
I put a bowl of candy out front so our door bell wouldn’t ring all night, so the best part was when Jack saw it! The pizza man rang the doorbell, Jack ran to open the door, and he said, “WHOA!! Look at all that candy someone brought!!” Ha! I told him about the trick-or-treaters, and he wanted to wait for one. It was so cute!
Then he asked Sam to come outside to check out the candy. They thought it was great mixing it all up. Oh, the simple things!
So, no trick-or-treating this year, but it was a fun Halloween Night with my three boys!
