Happy Halloween!!
Anyhoo, our instructions were to buy and Gut the pumpkins at home and so when the kiddos arrived at the party they would be good to go. We had to enlist Daddy's help for the cutting duty. I snapped a few shots of the "gutting" process...
Here is the crew all ready for action..Doesn't Rusty looked thrilled for the job at hand..hehe
Here Jake is cleaning out his pumpkin...He loved this part.
Jarred on the other hand wasn't quite sure about the gooey mess he was touching at this moment...
However as you can see, he started to get into after a while...
Finally Hailey gets her turn and she dives right in...Who am I kidding, she is a toddler and what toddler doesn't love to get messy?!?
This was her favorite part..Playing with the bowl of seeds and stringy pumpkin...
Now here are a few shots of the "after pics" that I took after the party. The boys had a BLAST and they (or should I say the other mommy) did a great job... hehe
Here they are all lined up in the Dining room..I know you really can't see the images very well, but Jarred's is a wolf, Jake's a werewolf face, and Hailey's was just a silly face....
Sidenote: Yes, Hailey is wearing a bathing suit and black dress shoes...I told her to get ready for a pic with her pumpkin and this is what she came out in...
This is a shot that I took outside last night...I was very impressed with the carvings..I think they look so neat!!
Here is the silly face that I carved for Hailey... I learned that silly faces can be very forgiving when you mess up on the carving..It just looks like it is supposed to be that way..right??
So now on to the actual Trick-or-Treating....

Sounds like you still kinda got stuck with the icky part...the gutting! Looks like all your kids had fun. :)
What great pumpkins! That was some real detail there...I'm impressed. I'm lucky if I can get two eyes and a mouth...LOL.

The pumpkins turned out great! I'm not very good at doing them and not terribly motivated either. I would have been HAPPY to send the kids to someone elses house to carve. Why WOULDN'T Hailey wear a bathing suit and dress shoes for a picture with the pumpkins? Wouldn't you?
