Saturday night was pumpkin carving night. Gotta love two well-trained kids...went and put their "paint shirts" on with out me even telling them!
Livie loves the pumpkins that still are a little green. This year she got to carve hers all by herself.
Tony doesn't get to use knives...it usually results in a flesh wound. He just had fun playing in the guts.
Once your kids hit a certain age you can no longer pick what your pumpkins look like. This year our two did a good job and they were both nice and easy to create.
Halloween night Livie had her 4 "besties" over for a little pizza party before trick-or-treating. I can't say enough how glad we are she has such a great group of friends as she enters the dreaded TEEN years. Really, really good girls. This is what 12 & 13 should look like.
So here you have it: "Bear Attack" and "Long Legs the Pirate." I wasn't really thrilled that Tony went with blood and gore this year. But that's what happens when little boys grow up. (Sniff.) But I have to say he and Chris pulled it all together and he did look pretty cool. All the other 4th grade boys in the neighborhood thought so too.
The best were the tattoo wounds...so realistic!
Here are the girlies....two pirates, a demon slayer (character from a book I guess) and an i-Tunes card. (don't you love Liv's red boots? Scored those at Goodwill!)
The loot.
The exhaustion.
The sort and trade.The end. Hope you all enjoyed a Halloween full of treats and no tricks!
