A Pumpkin Carvin'

We've never done a jack-o-lantern before because well, Paris wasn't exactly a Halloween Spirit kind of place. Last year, we were too lazy I think.

This year, with the "snow," we were shut in anyways! So we grabbed our almost frozen and thick pumpkins to the slaughter:

Michael liked the slaughter.

He saw the librarian carve a pumpkin at his story hour so he knew how it was going to go down. No touching seeds and "slimey" stuff for him though!

Somehow, we are still in our pajamas.

After we finished, we ran into our powder room, turned out the lights, and took the pumpkin for a test drive:
See if you can find Michael's face:
That would be the toilet that our jack-o-lantern is sitting on.

Snow day activity - CHECK! Halloween decorations - CHECK!

Halloween came and went. I bought Michael a Darth Vader costume because that's what he wanted to be - and he has an awesome light saber that glows in the dark and has sound effects to match.

Well, I bought it in size 5-7 years old. Apparently, it was sized really for a 7 year old, which was about my height, if not taller.

I could have easily been darth vader this year for Halloween if I wanted.

So he decided to be Dash again.

With white socks.

The only day that I'm happy about my son's nut allergy is Halloween when I dig out all his candy with nuts in it and stuff my face with enough chocolate to make my face break out.

Love,
