Pumpkin Carving

Happy Halloween!!! I'll post about our trick-or-treating later this week but today I'm sharing the other fun and festive activities we did this past weekend.

On Sunday, the church allowed the kids to dress-up for Sunday School. Both Kip and Ivy had a hard time deciding on which dress-up outfit to wear (I didn't want them to wear their actual Halloween costumes). Ultimately, Ivy stripped hers off when she got into the class along with a big tantrum because she was worried someone would take her accessories. At least her comfort-item pink coat looked like a bear. Kip wore his Great Wolf Lodge wizard ears and carried his wand. Everyone got to leave with a small bag of candy and a pick a pumpkin from their mini patch.

The decorating kits in the goodie bags kept the kids occupied after church.

In the afternoon we hosted pumpkin carving with a couple of Kip's classmates and their little sisters. It was cold and rainy (such a shift from the 80 degree sunshine of the day before) so we did it all in the garage. 

Who knew Mimi was so good at carving pumpkins???

Here they are,  all lit-up. Kip designed his own (left) and Ivy's is a unicorn if you can't tell. The stem is the horn.

And all decked out on the front porch!

Hope your evening is filled with treats!!!
