We had a really busy but happy Halloween and hope that you all had a good one also! Friday night Tristan started carving his pumpkin. This is the first time that I've let them do everything on their own so after cleaning it all out and tracing on his design he was about an hour into the project. The eyebrows, eyes, and nose are done after an hour and 20 mins or so and then when he's working on the mouth I hear, "Moooommmm." I come in excited to see the finished project to only see a pumpkin with a huge hole for a face! I can't help but giggle a bit and ask what happened? Seems as if Tristan cut too far and clipped the piece that was holding the face onto the pumpkin. Big time bummer! However, Josh had a great idea and ran for the stapler and the paperclips so that we could stitch his face back on and here's the finished project:
Franken Pumpkin
My pumpkin! This was bought as a replacement for Tristan so that he could have a chance to redo but come Sunday, he didn't feel like carving anymore so I did! I had a blast! Even toasted the pumpkin seeds and they turned out fantastic!
Aidan's pumpkin! He drew his design on by hand and did a great job!
Tristan's costume. It said Cell Block Psycho but we were going more for inmate. 
Aidan's costume - Swamp Monster. I loved it!
My attire! Thanks Shell, the tee shirt was a "huge" hit, ha! I think "our little pumpkin" had a good day also.

CUTE! The shirt looks big on you! Ha! (that's great!) I love your pumpkins! *including that wee one inside your tummy*
And don't feel bad Tristan, I have done it many times. I had the coolest zombie/alien guy one year and he was only held up by his neck and uh-oh, his neck broke during carving and I lost the whole head! ha! It just happens. But yes, staples and toothpicks work for sure! Steph told me Preston used superglue one time. ha!
P.S. - That frog on your porch looks like it is so curious to sneek a peek at Aidan's pumpkin. ha! I like the vamp teeth too! :)
