Jack-o-lanterns

We decided to carve our pumpkins last night since we are going to be gone all next week. We ended up with all together too many pumpkins this year from field trips and birthday parties and our family trip to the pumpkin patch. So the girls each had 2 pumpkins to carve and mommy had the big one. Maddy and Josey were so excited because we actually let them do the carving this year and they were so proud of their creations.

Daddy helped Lilly with her little pumpkin. She loved it!

And then we celebrated with Halloween cupcakes.

Which Dustin helped frost. Dustin refuses EVERY year to stick his hand in a pumpkin. He absolutely hates the smell and feel of the pumpkin brains. So that leaves......ME.....to have to clean out all the pumpkins! So not fair.

Then we took them all outside and lit them up. This is the girls yelling BOO!

And this is the only semi decent one that I could get with the pumpkins all lot up.

Then they had to blow out all the candles together. So cute.

And on a side note, I love out neighborhood. Yesterday the kids were all playing outside with the neighbors and I just thought how nice it is to live in a neighborhood that I can let my kid play outside. It seriously is such a great neighborhood. Everyone takes such good care of their yards (except for us) and I can't tell you how many people put up decorations for the holidays, it is so fun! Anyway here are the girls playing bubbles with the neighbor kids.
