Pumpkins

Pumpkin carving was a big hit this year, the girls really got into it. It did consist of the usual groans and squeals of "gross" as we cleaned out the pumpkin insides, but the groans quickly turned to laughs as they carved the faces and worked on their creations.  We had a pretty sweet thunderstorm going on while we were carving, which was a great 'special effect' for Halloween carving.  The girls obviously wanted to make 'happy faces' for their pumpkins because 'scary' is just not their thing. ;)  Kate did hers like a 'Pops Face' and Abby made a happy grin. They were so excited to light them and watch them glow in the dark with the rain and thunder pouring in the background.  Definitely a night to remember and we loved it. It was so fun to have daddy here with us this Halloween for all the events. We are counting our blessings to have him home more with this job, but still grateful for all we experienced in DC.
