Halloween 07`

Halloween was great, the kids had so much fun. We got our pumpkins from a local pumpkin patch... (horribly expensive) and the kids got to go through a corn maze, feed samonella infested animals and ride on the hayride. It was a lot of smelly fun! It was also very cold this year for trick or treating so we only went for a couple hours. It was fun though. Ava, kayla and olivia carved pumkins together. Kayla did her WHOLE pumkin by herself this year for the first time and it was awesome. Looked like the Nightmare Before Christmas's Jack Skelington... She said it didn't look how she imagined it though and was a little disapointed. Olivia wanted hers to look like a cat and so dad carved it for her... she took FOREVER arranging the bowls for the seeds and pulp and picking out the seeds from her mess of pumkin. It was really quite late when we were finished. Ava didn't quite get the point and filled her pumkin up with everyone else's pulp. She was also very excited to get her hands in dad's big pumpkin. She was tired and cranky by the time we were done so I cleaned her up as best I could and she slept with pumkin in her hair. Dwain spent hours carving his masterpeice and it came out very good... I think he was prouder of his pumkin than the girls were. I love that about him... he really gets into the fun in a way that is difficult for me. I will alway see him running and laughing while playing tag with a huge group of kids Kayla's age. He will spend hours being childish with them and playing in the snow. He carves elaborate pumpkins for halloween and is overjoyed to help them carve theirs.
