Pumpkin Time

Last night was pumpkin carving time in our house! Everyone at our house has a job. The boys decide on the pumpkin design and help with various tasks, I dig out the guts in the pumpkin (a job I rather enjoy :), and Larry does the carving. This year the boys each got a small pumpkin along with our large one and got to design and carve their own pumpkin...with a safety knife, of course!
Sonic the Hedgehog!


Clayton's creaton

Evan's creation

This year Larry's parents are coming in town for Halloween and we are going to stay in our neighborhood. We've done something different every year that we have been here, and this is the first time we will be staying home. Our neighborhood is awesome to trick or treat in. It is literally flooded with kids. In fact I've seen multiple 15 passenger vans from other neighborhoods unload in ours. There are some lower income neighborhoods not to far from us, and we live in a very large neighborhood, so I guess we are the trick or treat spot, which I think is great! It's like the old days when the streets were filled with kids, unlike many neighborhoods now where maybe 10 kids are out. Evan is going to be Prince Caspian and Clayton, who is quickly growing out of the desire to dress up, is going to be a Bakugan brawler. If you don't know what that is you aren't alone but I don't have to buy anything for his "costume", which is really just his regular clothes, so I am thrilled. I'll post pictures after Halloween.

Dying to know what a brawler is?

Heather, with a house full of girls these are the things you may never know about :)! Bakugan are these little ball things that pop open and look like different creatures. Each one has a different amount of power and there is a card game where you "battle" with these things and the more power you have helps you win. Or somethink like that....I don't even get it. Anyway these "battles" are called "brawls" therefore Clayton is a Bakugan brawler. That's the best description I have!
