Pumpkin Carving!

The afternoon before Halloween we carved pumpkins.

The kids drew the faces that they wanted Dan to carve on their pumpkins.

Except Katie who sort of just colored in some pieces and then decided she'd rather me draw the face per her dication.

The finished artwork, ready to carve!

Pumpkin carving is serious business at our house.

The kids were anxious to see inside.

Ewwwwww!

There was some mild drama over someone not wanting their pumpkin "to be killed."

We broke the news that it was already dead.

Someone else had to pretend to be a baby.

Dan is so NOT a fan of this.

Our tradition has become taking the kids' photos with their pumpkins in their halloween jammies. It started by accident one year and made such a cute picture, I've just kept doing it.
Katie was SO excited about her skeleton jammies, she made up a song all about the "bones in her body."

I see Dan really gets into the "spirit" of the holiday ~ yikes :) Great jack o lanterns and pj photo. Looks like a fun time was had by all.

They had to cancel Halloween in upstate Connecticut as they still do not have power!
