So with the two remaining pumpkins the carving began. Peter was feeling brave this year and stuck his hand inside...but look closely, he is wearing his gloves. There was no way that he would do that unprotected!
We started by drawing the faces. I think Jamison's pumpkin is a spitting image...of who? I am not sure but it has to be someone right?
And the final product! Since the one pumpkin was uncarvable...we went to extreme measure to get the seeds inside. Ok, we had to promise the boys something crazy because they were pretty upset that we could not get the darn thing carved. 
Jamison had first crack at the pumpkin, then Peter. Still a no -go. 
So we took it to the next level....the barn! 
That did it! (BTW, we are not toasting those seeds)
This year Jamison decided to be the Flash, because "he is red from head to toe". Ok, not the toes, they are yellow but you get the picture. 
Peter decided to be Optimus Prime again. We started trick-or-treating and he became sad, because he did not have a new costume. A parent can never win. Oddly Peter was more shy this year T&Ting than he was last year. I had to go up to each porch while he quietly mumbled "trick or treat". I dont get that boy. And Jamison....i dont know about him either. We had a talk before we went out that if someone gives you candy that you dont like that you say thankyou and that will be the candy that you can trade with your brother. And wouldnt you know it....one house the lady handed out fruity snacks and he said "i dont like what is in that blue package, but my brother does". So the lady comes back with some skittles and Jamison said "I dont like those either" and on the third time she came out with M&Ms, those were acceptable for the king. We had to have another talk.
Happy Halloween!
