Halloween Preview

Halloween snuck up on us fast this year and just when we thought we were all prepared someone stole our pumpkins before we had a chance to turn them into Jack-O-Lanterns. We especially felt bad for Hayden's pumpkin picked just by him out of the pumpkin patch at his field trip. The others were easy to replace, then they hid out in the garage until they were carved.
Ky helped me pick out all of the seeds for toasting, YUM!

Hard at work.


The Jack-O-Lanterns

Chris spent the most time carving away, and Hayden had the most creative idea. He started out with a spooky face that was teeny, tiny and I would've hurried and taken a pic had I known he was going to change it so fast, because they he carved more and turned it into an alien. Not done though, his carving knife had too much fun and kept carving away until it was a turtle! They all turned out nice, and they stayed here on our island until Halloween night (no more stealing pumpkins before the holiday people).

We had lots of parties this year, one was Hayden's class party. He sat down after putting on his costume to find the kid next to him wearing the exact same thing.

And there was also the ward party that was not so fun for some of us!
