Carving Jack 'O Lanterns

Remember those fabulous pumpkins I got on Bennett's field trip to Chimney Rock Farms? 
They got slaughtered tonight.




 It was a family affair.  The kids were very helpful.  Very.

Bennett decided we needed a Jack 'O Lantern in the shape of a dinosaur and one in the shape of a ghost.  I suggested a brontosaurs but Bennett informed me that a t-rex was far more fierce "AND SCARY!!" so that is the dinosaur we would be going with for this year's pumpkin theme.

Um ok, whatever.

I think it's pretty safe to say we have THE MOST festive Halloween house on the entire block.  Maybe for two blocks.




Should we take bets on how fast it takes for us to get egged?

One week until the night of the Big Pumpkin.  We're getting pumped!!!  xx
