Luke enjoyed helping, but Madison refused to touch the pumpkin guts.
This is about as close as Madison would get to the pumpkin seeds.
The guys-still cleaning the pumpkins.

I'm working on creating a Sleeping Beauty pumpkin. The kids' cousins, Mackenzie and Kaitlann, sent Madison this princess kit. I'm not sure how I felt about it after my 45 minute carving session :) Thanks guys-Madison LOVED her pumpkin!
Still working
Luke got bored of my detailed project, so he opted to climb in the deck box.
Round one done-I finished the stenciling part-now time to actually carve it out.
Close up of my stencil job
Our crew-the pirate, Young Frankenstein, and Ariel-You may notice a last minute costume change with Young Frankenstein. He was slated to go as a bear, but it was just too hot for the costume (not that this one was much better).

I'm sure by tomorrow afternoon the heat will have destroyed this one. I'm glad Madison enjoyed it.We had fun trick-or-treating. The kids were only out for about 45 minutes. We didn't have very many kids come by this year. I'm not sure why. We live on base with a ton of kids, so that means we have a lot of leftover candy. Good thing I buy stuff I like :)
Happy Halloween!

Everyone looked great! You will have to tell Madison that her Aunt Mer has perfected pumpkin carving so she doesn't have to touch the guts; I'll have to show her how some day. The pumpkins turned out great (Martha, I'm impressed with your skills.) I also like Luke's "happy" pumpkin... too cute! Hope you guys had a blast!
You are one patient mom to do that carving...lucky for Madison. It looks great. The kids all look cute in their costumes.
