We did get pumpkins this year (normally we skip out) we got our's from Wal-mart, my goal for next year is to get them at a REAL pumpkin patch. Unfortunately we carved our's a little too early and they all rotted before we could use them as decorations for our Ward's Trunk or Treat activity.
So this year I just recycled the costume Lily wore last year (the "cute scarecrow") and thanks to Sharee and her willingness to share her costumes with us, Caleb was a Pea Pod and Eric and I were a farm couple. We spent Halloween night with Sharee and her family, we had mummy fingers, mummy mini pizzas, a watermelon carved into a brain, and rotten apple juice with sour gummy worms for dinner :) Yummy. This year was Lily's first time "Trick or Treating" and she actually did really well. I don't have any pictures of Halloween night because I forgot to charge my camera's battery (I know shame on me) but if you really want to see what our food looked like head over to Sharee's blog! Or just enjoy the picture's I did take :)
Carving time!
Lily's job was to play with the pumpkin seed, and boy did she enjoy that!
Eric never did get to finish this guy but it was suppose to be a Sailor...a little tribute to the Navy :)
You can't really tell from this picture but on one of the pumpkins I was trying to be fancy and carve a maple leaf on it using my brother-in-law's super cool technique of "shaving". It would have looked better if we had had candles but we didn't have any and then our pumpkins went nasty so we have no pictures that show the true potential of this carved pumpkin ;) Maybe next year.
We had some leftover stickers from playgroup and so Lily decided to decorate Daddy :)
A very pleased little girl with her artwork.
These next few pictures are of Caleb and I just love how easy it is to get him to SMILE!!
So Lily has recently entered that stage where you ask for a SMILE and get....

Lily LOVES these two girls in our ward. Lydia and Lauralin are sisters and come from a great family, the oldest girl (Lydia-"The Bee") is Lily's favorite babysitter :)
Serious Farmer and Pea Pod, Caleb was too distracted by all that was going on around him to pay any attention to me :)
