Pumpkins and Parties

Fun day, today!  We have our pumpkins for carving, and today we hit it!  Each year this activity gets easier and easier, which I am very grateful for!  I still have to help them a bit with cleaning them out, but they are quite able to independently work on them.


Later this evening it was time for the ward trunk or treat!  Everyone got to get their costumes on and we headed to the church.


Leiden's friend Natalia joined us for the evening. 


We brought the pumpkins with us to decorate our trunk.  Leiden made a mermaid.  Her own design and execution.  She really is a very talented artist. 


Mimi made the traditional jack o lantern face, but added ears with toothpicks.  They just didn't stay on too well, but it was a super creative and fun touch. 


Mac's pumpkin was a giant mustache, which I thought was pretty dang cute.


Jonathan's was a fearsome monster face.


We set them up on the ground by our car for the trunk or treat.  We got tons of compliments from people on them.


The kids went around the parking lot several times gathering tons of candy. 


Jonathan and I had fun handing candy out.  This was the first year I have let the girls wander around in the dark and handed candy out.  


Super good times, and the girls of course had to sort their hauls before bed! 


The main event is coming quickly!
