Halloween

I hope that everyone had a Happy Halloween! Here are some pictures of our Halloween. Lexie was a pirate for Halloween, I found this costume online and loved it! She refused to wear her pirate hat so I put a black flower in her hair instead. I think that it turned out pretty cute!



Here is a picture of Lexie with the boys. Of Course, they can't all be looking at the camera!





Carving Pumpkins


I used to love carving pumpkins when I was younger, but I tried it last year with Lexie and figured out that it's really not that much fun. So I told Broc that it was his turn this year. On Sunday we took Lexie to her grandma and grandpa Pococks and let her pick out a pumpkin. Of course we ended up with on of the biggest ones! As we were driving home I was thinking to myself how much Broc was going to regret getting a pumpkin that big. (I have to admit I laughed a little) Well we all kinda forgot about the pumpkin in the trunk of my car until Thursday (the day before Halloween)! Broc said that he would help Lexie carve it that night. Well he ended up having to work late so guess who got to do it.....that's right....ME! I thought that Lexie would love helping me clean out the slimy guts of the pumpkin, but I was wrong she didn't want anything to do with it. After it was all cleaned out Lexie decided that she wanted to help/play with the pumpkin. I think that the pictures are so funny because it looks like she is going to fall in! The pumpkin was almost as big as her!





Mandy let me use one of the stencils that she bought and it was actually really easy! I think that it turned out pretty cute. Maybe Broc will get his turn next year!

She is just the cutest pirate ever!!! She looks so grown up standing there with the boys with her little treat bag. And good work on the pumpkin too Sam, it looks good. We didn't carve them this year. We got one, then accidentally let it rot. :) It was pretty gross.
