We started out our Halloween festivities with the trunk or treat at church. Rachel was a princess (again) and Annie used Rachel's costume from when she was almost one and was a tiger.
Saturday we decided we'd better carve the pumpkin that's been sitting in our kitchen since August when we picked it from our garden. I'm surprised it lasted this long without rotting. Rachel helped out with the de-seeding with a lollipop from the trunk or treat as her energy source.
Rachel decided she wanted a spider pumpkin with 8 or 10 eyes. I'm not sure how many eyes it ended up having, but it was pretty close.
After Rachel went to sleep I carved the smaller one, just so it wouldn't go to waste (and we had to get the seeds out of it anyway to roast them-yum!).
Last week we made some ogre toes and gave some away and got a sugar rush from the rest of them. They didn't turn out quite as good as the original where I got the idea, but they were still pretty decent, I thought.
We enjoyed some
mummies for our Halloween dinner. Or maybe they look more like pod-people.
Rachel had a fun time trick or treating tonight, and Annie, in her post-shot stupor after her one-year doctor visit today, was happy to be pushed around in the stroller looking at the crazy people and decorations. I caught this picture of Rachel honoring the true meaning of Halloween: CANDY!
Hope everyone had a happy Halloween!!
