| Thursday after the older kids arrived home from school the preparation for their school's Pumpkin Walk began. Grandma was a big help in carving pumpkins. I complemented her on her abilities and she reminded me that she had 5 kids!! Practice truly makes perfect. She was able to carve 2 awesome pumpkins in the time it took me to carve 1. Adam was able to reproduce his amazing drawing that had put on his pumpkin earlier this month. Our pumpkins were out on our straw in the front yard and slowly cooked in our hot Phoenix weather! As you can see Adam carved his own pumpkin, he truly is an amazing artist. |
Addison wanted a scary face this year. She drew the eyes and nose all by herself. I helped with the mouth, but she gave her approval. We even stabbed holes on the back so that her pumpkin would look like it had hair :)
Grandma helped Alex with his pumpkin. She used a cookie cutter and a rubber mallet for his eyes. X marks the spot right. His mouth is in the shape if a sword, a true Pirate Pumpkin!!
We lite all of the pumpkins and made sure they were as awesome as we thought they would be!!
After we dropped Grandma at he airport and I was taking Alex to school we dropped our pumpkins off at school so that they could be displayed in the Pumpkin Patch for the Fall Festival later that night. Alex took his to show his class, he was very proud of his Pirate Pumpkin!
With our blanket in tow we headed off to this years Fall Festival which was a movie night. We enjoyed pizza and Charlie Brown's Halloween Special. Adam dressed up as Harry Potter, Alex was a Pirate of course and the girls wore their PJ's.
The Pumpkin Walk was great. They had some amazing pumpkins as always. I was grateful for the wagon when it came time to loading them back up in the van to take home!! Besides Alex running off (he ran into an aid from his classroom and she returned him as I was searching the school yard) and giving me a good scare the kids were great and the night was very fun.
