This has been a very exciting, high energy, and crazy week at our house. Not because of any monumental happening or changes to our daily lives...only because of Halloween. Trevor is buzzed all the time, and by buzzed I mean living all parts of his life at 110%. He talks loud and fast, runs everywhere he goes, and can't sit still to save his life. Listening to and obeying his mom are the hardest tasks required and he's at a 50/50 average. I'm going CRAZY! Cambria and Ethan, of course, follow his lead and so by bed time I'm ready to crawl into bed myself (mind you, bedtime is 7:30 at our house). Yes, at our house I'd say we are excited and ready for Halloween.
Carving pumpkins was the start to our week and Cambria went right in for the slimy stuff while Ethan preferred using a spoon...carefully. Cambria's comment to Tyler..."You're the best picker ever." (talking about picking out the guts of the pumpkin)
This is the first year Trevor actually got his hands down in the pumpkin and got the guts and seeds out. It didn't last very long but he did get quite a few seeds out (I think his personal motivation for getting his hands dirty was so I could make him roasted pumpkin seeds).
Cambria was very excited to do her pumpkin and while see was the only kid willing to get her hands dirty she was also the most talkative. Her best comment..."Look mom, I got a gut". (interpretation: look at the guts I'm getting out of the pumpkin)
Some of the finished product. I still have to carve Ethan's little pumpkin on the right and Tyler needed to finish his haunted house. Here are our pumpkins!
