Carving pumpkins.

So last year Eyla would have nothing to do with the pumpkin guts this year she was so brave and dug right in.  She kept saying that,  “I am so brave, I clean out my pumpkin by myself.”   Then she got tired of it but I had to document some of her braveness so I had to ask her take grab a few more handfuls of goo while I took pictures.

This is her telling me she has had enough picture taking and she is done cleaning out her pumpkin.

And Rockwell of course had no problem digging right in.

   

Trick-r-Treat night.

Basically the cutest pumpkin, cinderella, and mermaid that you will ever see.

Our first trick or treat house, this is the stash Rockwell was able to nab.

Luckily it was Uncle Chayse and Aunt Chars house where we stopped first for pictures.

Raya mermaid showcasing the pumpkins, specifically her mermaid pumpkin. 

These were carved with no pattern (you could probably tell) Rayas mermaid and Eylas horse and girl.  I did this all in the time daddy did Rockwells 2 teeth smile pumpkin.  I am no Ray Villafane but I am rather  proud of them.

He carried his bucket the entire time and it got pretty heavy.  He is definitely the best 13 month old tricker treater you will ever find.  He would walk up to the doors and knock and everything.  It was adorable.

Here is good shot of Raya’s costume.  She was supposed to be a pink tinkerbell but changed her mind to a mermaid.  This is what I came up with.  I made these bell bottom things hoping they would look like a fin, and thanks to Aunt Char and Grandma for grabbing us sea shells from the beach in Florida this summer I made a necklace and glued them to a headband.  She pretty much looked like a disco diva with bell bottoms and gaudy jewelry, but she was convinced she was a mermaid and I am pretty happy with how it all turned out.

This was right after trick or treating and before we dug into the buckets of candy.  Sad it is only 4 of us, daddy is usually taking pictures and we are never able to snatch a picture of all 5 of us together.

Lets hope next year we get a picture of all 6 of us. :)
