Brooklyn and her friend, Kaleb making Halloween Pizza!
Our little artist...she didn't want to carve it, she wanted to
paint it and she was very serious about it!
Brooklyn's GINORMOUS pumpkin...no going small with this one!
Gracie with the "family" pumpkin! She had no idea what we were up to!
Halloween this year was so chaotic! I was so over the month of October by the time Halloween hit that I'm afraid we literally carved pumpkins Halloween night before going to a friends house for dinner and trick-or-treating. But the kids had fun and are both so different when it came time to carving their pumpkins. Brooklyn picked the biggest one and wanted to all but shove dad out of the way and carve it all herself (the only thing she insisted she needed help on, was getting the guts out cuz you know she doesn't like to get her hands dirty!). Kendall, on the other hand, picked the tiniest pumpkin (I swear that it is in part due to the book we've been reading "The Littlest Pumpkin" in which no one picks the littlest pumpkin and it's greatest wish is to become a jack-o-lantern on Halloween...Kendall always feels so sad for the littlest pumpkin when the patch closes Halloween night and no one has picked the littlest pumpkin...even though she knows the happy ending...(oh, I know you're wondering...the little mice in the patch carve it up and it becomes the center piece jack-o-lantern at their Halloween party!) And she didn't want to carve it. She wanted to paint it which was just fine by me. True to Halloween in Utah, it was raining the whole day and got pretty cold. But by the time we finished our pizza's the rain had stopped and dad took the kiddos trick-or-treating. As if they didn't already have enough candy from the Ward Halloween Party and their school parties...but it's all part of the experience.

The "Chosen" Pumpkin
My goofy buggsy!
They were having such a fun time running away from us moms in the maze!
Kendall and her friend, Avree!
Kendall's preschool took a field trip for Halloween. She had so much fun and felt like a pretty big kid going on a field trip! Her class is so cute and she adores her teacher (so do I!). She only got upset when the older kids that were there (not a part of her class) trampled her along with her little friends in the play area and then she was a little "miffed" at the large two dollar pumpkins cuz they were too heavy for her to carry. So, I'm trying to force her into picking out a two dollar pumpkin cuz, hey, I already paid the two bucks...and by golly and I'mma get the most for what I paid for, right??!! Well, this little three year old with a not so little temper, wouldn't have it any other way...sure enough she picks out a tiny little one dollar pumpkin just "Kendall size" as she said! But hey, she loved it so whatever!
