Carving pumpkins.
After seeing so many cute and wild pumpkins online, I decided that I wanted to try something more than just the typical pumpkin face. This year my specialty was bats. I was very nervous at first, but I got the hang of it. I can't wait to try something new next year.
Caleb wanted to carve his own pumpkin this year. I cut the top off but he cleaned it out and carved it all himself. His design which started out as a nose or eye kept getting larger and larger. I did step in a cut out a bat, which we then placed in the large hole with toothpicks. The squirrels took the bat.
We got a few pictures before adding 20 layers under the costumes to go out in the cold night.
Uncle Mark joined us in his authentic Captain Jack Sparrow costume. One of the houses we stopped at even insisted on a picture with him.
Now we are actually out trick or treating.
Our group.
Our pumpkins lit up.
The kids were so hyper and had a blast. They got quite the haul of candy too. Although we were exhausted, Andy and I did our parenting duty and checked through all the candy once the kids were in bed, only a few of our favorites may have gone missing.
