Pumpkin Party!

Since the kids didn't get to carve their pumpkins with everyone else, a couple of days later when they had Fall Break(Oct. 15th), we had a Pumpkin Party! That morning I helped Isaac and Parker carve their pumpkins. They both turned out really cute! When I took their picture (above) they wanted to have a light inside their pumpkins. :)

After lunch, we decorated some pumpkin cupcakes. I intended for them to be a little more complex, but we ended up just keeping them really simple. They turned out pretty cute. When I first brought the undecorated cupcakes in, Bryce saw them and yelled "Cu-cay!" He knew just what they were, and was so excited. He must have had them at preschool before. He had fun decorating them and then peeling the paper off. He had a couple of tastes, but mostly just crumbled it up. Isaac and Parker had a fun time decorating their cupcakes too!

For dinner I got the kids the Pumpkin kids' meals from Artic Circle. We don't do kids' meals very often, so it was a fun treat for them. I even bought Bryce one although he wasn't too interested in the food. He liked the bbq sauce from the nuggets though! :)





After dinner I helped Bryce carve his pumpkin. I scraped the inside really good and then let him clean out the guts. It was so cute! He got out every little bit. I carved his pumpkin into a Mickey Mouse (he loves Mickey)! After that, Josh and I carved our pumpkinds. :) Last of all we roasted all of our pumpkin seeds. Yum! It was a fun day. I'm glad we got to do something Halloweeny. I was kinda bummed that we weren't able to do our annual Halloween party this year since we were moving, so this was at least something.
