Our pumpkin!

Can you tell? It is a black cat sitting on a branch!

The Last Pumpkin in Town!

Last night DadOf3 and I went out to vote early. Early voting ends tomorrow here in FamilyOf5Land. We both figured the lines would be shorter today than next Tuesday, and they were not too bad. It was challenging to vote with three kids in tow, but we got the job done.

I have been a bit distracted the last week or so, so I completely spaced out getting a pumpkin for Halloween, so last night when we were out and about we went searching for one. The pickings were mighty slim, but we managed to score a pumpkin. It is not the prettiest looking thing in the world, in fact, it is a little bit on the scary side, but isn't that the point? It is a pumpkin and it will be carved tonight and it will make our trio happy - all for the low, low price of $3.99.

And yes, I am going to ask DadOf3 to make the first few cuts because that is indeed a hole on the top of that pumpkin and I don't know what is living in there.

Pumpkin Carving Weekend!

We had great fun carving our pumpkins yesterday!


<==Princess was not too sure about scooping out the pumpkin seeds!




<==DadOf3 talked her into it and after a while she liked it!








<==Princess says, "Look! I am messy!"











<==Prince didn't like it very much at all but he tried!















<==Then he didn't want to scoop anymore!










<==Here is my first effort!















<==This one took a while! Princess wanted a witch pumpkin so I gave it a shot! I think it looks pretty good!











Here is DadOf3's Scooby Doo Pumpkin! I love it!











Here is our Halloween Witch (Elphaba) with the pumpkins!












<==Here are the pumpkins all lit up!












HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
