Our Spooktacular Weekend

We had such a fun weekend! Friday night we carved our pumpkins! Dylan enjoyed cleaning out the pumpkins this year and didn't mind getting his hands dirty!
I handed over a marker and told Dylan to draw eyes, a nose, and mouth and then we cut it out. I think he did a great job! And yes, he made the eyes 2 different sizes, it wasn't a mistake made by the carver!

On a couple of his pumpkins we had pieces that he could put in for the face. So much fun!

And our finished products. I love carving pumpkins. It is something we always did as a family growing up and I enjoy doing it with my family now.



Saturday night Dylan helped me make a very spooky dinner, eyeballs, snakes, and blood sauce. He did a great job helping and even helped me mix up the meatballs, I mean eyeballs, and put the snakes in the boiling water.




We had a very cute lion this year. Daddy thinks next year he should be something like a vampire, I vote for something like an elephant! I'm not ready for Dylan to be the generic boy costumes quite yet!!

I can't believe he will have a sister sitting next to him on the porch next year! Things sure will be different!

How cute! Next year will be a lot of fun. Saylor will be crawling around about this time! You could make their costumes coordinate, like Little Bo Peep and his cute little sheep, ha ha. :)
