Pumpkin Carving and Halloween 2016

We didn't have a lot of time to carve pumpkins this year, even though we grew a whole bunch of them in our front yard!  So we mostly just decorated the outside of them.  Desperate times call for desperate measures. :) 
But we still had a great time!

Kyle was in usual form...and wouldn't look at the camera!


Jacob put some stickers on one of the tiny ones...


This is Kyle's pumpkin...AND KYLE! HA!  I got one! :) 



Dallin carved his pumpkin for real.  Way to go Dallin! 



We added a little "pumpkin kit" to Jacob's small pumpkin...




Todd helped Dallin get all of the "guts" out of his pumpkin....


If Kyle would just smile...wouldn't that be nice?


And Jacob decorated a big one too...



He did a great job!  (Todd took out the middle thinking that it was going to be carved, but then Jacob just wanted to draw on it.) :) 


One more try at Kyle...Ugh!


Dallin's pumpkin is the one on the right...


And just so you know, I made that alien/Frankenstein one with the scar...


All of our decorated pumpkins (and Ziggy begging to come outside).
 Too bad for Ziggy.


Jacob is the only one of my kids who dressed up and went trick or treating for Halloween this year.  He was a "greaser" from the book, The Outsiders.  He read it with his English class and his teacher gave the kids extra credit if he/she dressed up on the day they watched the movie.  Jacob liked it so much, he decided to be that for Halloween too.  (And by the way, he got that leather jacket from Gina.  He was so excited!  She even let him have it!)



Jacob's got personality, that kid!


We had a low-key, safe Halloween.  
Happy Halloween!
