It is raining like made here in Seattle, so we expect a very damp trick or treating experience tonight. That's ok ... we're natives and are only thrown off of our game when it ISN'T raining on Halloween.
To help our house look a bit more festive, we broke out our pumpkins and carving knives on Monday. The kids were thrilled to have a chance to get into the holiday mood ... not to mention, decide what their pumpkins would ultimately look like. We tag teamed the kids (and their pumpkins), which seemed to work out quite nicely. No one had to be patient or feel left out of the experience. Parenting win for us!

| We were amazed by how thick and unseedy these pumpkins were... made cleaning out the insides very easy, thought |

| Eric finishing up the creative process ... notice the lack of children at this point; they abandoned the process temporarily for something more exciting... aka chasing each other around the kitchen a few times |
