First we carved our pumpkins. Connor did the small jack-o-lantern & Cayden and Connor teamed up for the large one. Cayden was solely responsible for those crazy eyes!
After carving the pumpkins & lighting them up, we roasted the seeds. yummo! I love roasted pumpkin seeds with lots of salt. I'm just hoping my intestines don't start screaming in the middle of the night - I eat the hull & the seed.
The boys put together their own costumes this year. I must say, they were fabulous! Connor went with is old standby and dressed as a veterinarian. Cayden dressed as an army man - complete wih backpack, dogtags, a camo gun and camo clothes. Very nice. I hope they continue to be this creative & don't go for the bought costumes for along time. Is that just a girl thing? I always wanted a bought costume - preferebly in pink or animal print. I did spend a number of years dressed as a hobo - I said I wanted thsoe bought ones, not that I always got them LOL
We couldn't leave Kali out in the cold. She dressed up as a ballerina. She even trick or treated a bit & Miranda gave her a few scooby snacks.

It never occurred to me NOT to eat the hull!
Looks like your pumpkin has bells palsy. His eye and mouth is drouping on one side like mine did. haha Funny funny guy.
I love the costumes!! Great ideas!! The pumpkin carving turned out really good also! I agree with the previous comment...until I read your blog, it never occurred to me to not eat the hull of the seed! Do most people crack them open?
