It's Halloween!

I really love Halloween!  Nothing says it's Halloween more than carving pumpkins. 


 The kids had fun picking out their pumpkins at the store and helping to design their pumpkin, however, the actual work fell to the parents and grandparents.  Thanks Papa for carving Crew's pumpkin.  Crew refused to clean the guts out of his pumpkin.  He couldn't handle the slimy goo at all.  He really loves his pumpkin though.  Last night as I was tucking him in bed he told me he has the best pumpkin ever!  Gracie at least helped clean hers out.  Thanks for doing all the rest Gigi.  I got to carve out mine and Layla's.  For Layla's, we had to make her pumpkin just  say "No" since that is her favorite phrase right now and her pumpkin needed a grumpy face too. 
Fall is also the perfect time to enjoy some carmel apples.  For our family home evening treat we had to make some.  No one enjoys treats more than Layla.  (p.s.  I used a double boiler for the first time and can I say I am totally in love.  It made making carmel apples the easiest.)

I love that Crew hated gutting his pumpkin. I thought Emma and Rex hated it because we made such a big deal about it being the guts of the pumpkin!.
