Today is the day

Today is the day that my children have been talking about. Today is the day that we wake up early by jumping on our parents bed. Today is the day that my kids demand to get into their costumes the second that they get out of bed. Today is the day that we have been looking forward to for two months. Today is of course, Halloween.

Saturday we went in search of the perfect pumpkin. The five year old wanted to choose which one that she would decorate. However, she had to choose the biggest and most perfect pumpkin that I actually wanted! I love to create those very detailed pumpkin master carvings which require the perfect pumpkin or the image ends up looking lopsided.

The five year old could not be talked into giving Mommy her pumpkin. However, my Husband had the ultimate idea... He asked her if she would like Mommy to carve her pumpkin in an ultra scary and cool way! Talk about brilliant! The only difficult part was that she demanded to sit on my lap and watch every step of the process and cheer me on. Now, I am all for an audience, but having her watching so closely was quite distracting. Not to mention that her head kept getting in the way so I couldn't see what I was carving! It did turn out very well, and my daughter gave her stamp of approval... So I still got to carve the good pumpkin, but it just needed to be known as hers!

I will let you all know about our Halloween adventures later on, I will say that we have some big plans! Today is the day! Today is HALLOWEEN!
