Halloween prep time

Due to travel plans (not mine) we had to have our Halloween dinner and pumpkin carving a little early this year.  Instead of dinner on Halloween and pumpkin carving only days ahead this year was a week ahead of normal schedule.  Oh well, life can't always go according to plan.
So, the kids picked out their pumpkins at grandpa's and then they got to choose how to cut them out and went at it.
Ben is carving or should I say marking the design and then carving


Finished carving


All lit up in the wee morning hours (forgot to light them at night so early Saturday we lit them before they got all drenched and aged)


Chris carving or again prepping to carve


Finished carving


All lit up


Daddy helped Evan start and finish his


Evan's taking a turn


Finished carving



All lit up


Lex got to paint hers - small child and sharp knives do Not mix



Unfortunately, the paint was washable and the rain was starting to come down.


No carving for little Mister, but maybe painting next year


Dinner was pumpkin soup or dinner in a pumpkin with dessert being an oreo/pudding/ cream cheese graveyard complete with pumpkins and tombstones.

Happy Halloween!
