Pumpkins, pumpkins everywhere

The kids did a great job growing pumpkins this year! It was so fun to watch them grow and when it was time to harvest you had to push the leaves out of the way and they kept finding more and more and more. The biggest one is called Juliet, and the next one was Romeo. We are ready to carve!

Do you see how thick the meat inside is? 

That's going to be crazy to clean out.

The pumpkin was throwing up - 

Ben tossed the seeds and stuff out the mouth.

It was really funny to watch.

We brought the smaller ones inside to carve.

Kemiah's pumpkin eating a pumkin.

Yikes!

Ben just scratched off the skin - 

and put a flashlight inside.

It was awesome when it was glowing.

Can you tell what he did?

I went a little pie crazy for the Trunk-or-Treat, 

but I was so excited and couldn't decide which one I wanted the most.

Pumpkin, cherry, banana cream,

derby, coconut cream.

Marissa made the coconut cream filling and 

it won a prize at the Trunk-or-Treat!

We had lots of fun at the Trunk-or-Treat, 

which they moved inside because it was wet and cold outside.

Just as well and easier, in my opinion.

The little marshmallow - 

which is the same costume I have used since Benjamin,

for all the little ones for their first Halloween.

Domonique in her "Lego person" costume

 The cardboard Lego costume was Kemiah's idea and she worked really hard to make it happen. I stepped in and helped a little, and gave her my old sweats so we didn't have to worry about painting the box. I guess everyone thought it was a pretty creative idea because they won the most creative costume prize!

Red Riding Hood

We were going for Piggie and Gerald,

but they could also be Pigglet and Eeyore.

Benjamin as Frodo (again) with his glowing pumpkin.

Can you see the tree of life vision?

 Here's our "trunk" room. 

If yo wanted candy, you had to stick your hand

INSIDE the jack-o-lanterns mouth.

(The red strap is there because I dropped it and it broke.)

Little Halloween friends - 

marshmallow (of course) and Toothless

 The whole scary bunch!
