Carving Pumpkins

We got our pumpkins carved just in the nick of time yesterday, before the trick-or-treating started. Kevin took the afternoon off to do it with the kids. Lucy chose the happy, smiley faced design and John wanted his to look like Spiderman. The pumpkins looked so nice with white candles inside, as it was getting dark and people started turning on their porch lights. Since the kids were home from school yesterday, we worked on and off all day on a Halloween garland with ghosts, bats, owls and pumpkins. We hung it above our front door. With the beautiful weather and the noise of children laughing and running with their friends to collect candy, it was a great Halloween night.
