We had a fun time carving our pumpkins this year.
Jackson and Jessica drew the faces they wanted on their pumpkins onto a piece of paper. Lia told me what shapes she'd like for the eyes and nose, and whether she'd prefer to have a happy mouth or a scary mouth. Then, I drew the faces onto all three pumpkins.
Jason helped Jessica carve her pumpkin, after she did an "ok" job cleaning out the guts... For some reason, none of the kids wanted to help much with that part; we're happy we decided to only get three pumpkins!
Jackson did most of the carving himself this year...

As we were carving, the discussion centered around costume ideas for school and for trick-or-treating (and daycare for Lia). Well, Jackson had his heart set on being something scary this year. Not knowing this, I first went out and bought him a Mario costume, which was later exchanged for something a tad bit scarier...
And, our two indecisve girls probably came up with at least ten different costume ideas, between the two of them! Thankfully, both Jess and Lia were happy to make a selection from our dress-up box (and Grandma Barb's dress-up clothes as well), rather than buying new.
Pictures of the kids in their chosen costumes in the next post... ;)
