PUMPKINS EVERYWHERE

Today was a decorating/preparing for Halloween day. We hung our spooky spider web on the gate. Paige was very particular about spider placement.
We also carved our jack'o'lanterns. I LOVE it, but for some reason I waited until the last minute the last few years, and by then I was so stressed trying to finish their costumes in time, we never ended up getting pumpkins. The last time we did it was the Halloween before I got pregnant with Paige, and I'm not sure it even counts, because we went at the last minute that time too, and they had no pumpkins left. So we carved watermelons instead. They were surprisingly cute though.

This year we made it happen though. At first Caso ignored us and played in the wagon.
But eventually they both were into it, helping clean the pumpkins and everything.
Cason found a twig on the ground and thought he could use it to carve.
We are NOT experts, but they're pretty cute anyway. Pumpkin guardians.
Also, I worked on Cason's costume. Failed for now, but oh well. I also definitely stabbed myself in the thigh with the scissors. I pretty much always poke myself when I sew, but this was a complete stabbing. I went to stand up, and when I rolled to my side a little, my leg landed on the scissors, which were in my hand, pointy end up of course, and they went in, fairly deep. It barely bled, it was just a little puncture wound, but I thought I was gonna pass out I was so grossed out.

Anyhoo, we're also having a themed movie night. We got It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, and had pumpkin pasta for dinner.
AND I used the extra pumpkin for pumpkin cream cheese for bagels. Mmmm.
Then Jess made us what he called a "delicious brew". Hot chocolate of course. WITH ghostie marshmallows Grama gave us. IN my awesome new googly eyed cat mug.
Our eyes are the same size.
