For the first time, we let the kiddos "help" carve pumpkins. It was yucky, messy madness and it was GREAT!
Our four little peeps are sooooo proud of the pumpkins they HAND PICKED and NAMED...
"Mommy, MY pumpkin is named Spider Man!"
- Just like his costume, such a goof ball
"Mine is named Cinderella!!!"
- Libs, going with Russ' theme
"Look mommy, it's Belle!"
- Sweet Ally Boo Boo
"Meet Snow White!"
- Miss Molly
I cleaned out all the guts and roasted the seeds while kids "helped." They were FASCINATED! I forgot how much work pumpkin carving is! Ha ha!
Auntie Barb arrived just in time to help with the carving and we got to work. The kids picked the eye and mouth shapes and we did the heavy lifting.

The jack-o'-lanterns turned out just the way the kids wanted....
"DUDE there is a candle in here!!"

Little B LOVES her pumpkin THIS much!

4th Halloween for the gang!
Ally, kissing her beeeeautiful creation.
Allison and "Princess Belle"
"It smells like success....oh yes....."
-The always mischievous Russell Man
In all their illuminated glory....
Belle, Snow White, Spider Man and Cinderella!
