Growing up we did not "celebrate" Halloween. We never really carved pumpkins or went trick or treating. We always went to the church Harvest Party. I loved it, even well into my high school years! Since we've had kids, we have been surrounded by lots of our friends who really get into the holiday. I just can't. I know, I know, I'm a Halloween Scrooge, but I would rather celebrate fall and harvest...Thanksgiving! It's one of my favorite times of year (next to Christmas). We do let the kids dress up. The base has a base-wide trick or treating time that we will probably participate in, which will only be a walk around our block. We don't need that much candy. :)
This year, we decided to get pumpkins for the kids and carve them. I guess I've caved a little. Paige wanted a traditional face on the pumpkin, but I wanted them to be cheery...not scary. So this is what we got...
Jason and I picked the Angry Bird (one of our favorite iPhone games), Paige chose Tinkerbell, of course. And Tucker didn't get to pick...he's just always Superman! :)
It was a fun time with the kids and they loved digging into the center to help get the seeds out. Those are my favorite part and that is partly why I wanted to get pumpkins this year. hehe.
