Jack-O-Lanterns!

We gathered around the table tonight for our annual, pumpkin carving.  The kids were so excited to participate in this activity and Lia even tried cleaning out and carving her pumpkin all by herself.  Ella wanted a sad pumpkin, Logan wanted a scary one, and Lia strayed from the group and decided all on her own to carve a cat pumpkin.  As for the parents, Ron carved out an intricate face of the Oogie Boogie character from "The Nightmare Before Christmas" movie and my pumpkin ended up resembling an ant.  After finishing the carving, we lined up our pumpkins, lit the candles, and turned off the lights and marveled at our glowing creations.  We then wrapped up the evening by singing the song, "There's No Such Thing As a Ghost," while I attempted to accompany the family on the piano.  What a fun way to spend the evening before Halloween!

After we lined up the pumpkins on the counter, Ella and Logan immediately ran over and started playing with them.  They are just the cutest thing!


Our pumpkin family all lit up and glowing.
