the long awaited pumpkin carve finally took place yesterday. eli was sooooo excited, until he realized there was "icky" stuff inside. after that, he wouldn't touch it and wanted his hands wiped...kooky. he did, however, cut part of the mouth, which was enough for him. lyla kept saying "try?" she wanted to try to cut the top...here they are in their pumpkin cutting splendor.
i love, love, love these. eli the ninja turtle and lyla the hula girl. i just realized it's kinda fitting since we saw lots of turtles in hawaii...hummm...subconsciously reliving the trip much?
fierce...
we went trick or treating with our friends, the hills. here's the group...lyla fell asleep before we got started, but when she woke up it didn't take her long to get in the groove.
it's crazy how much kids can change in one year. looking back at pictures oflast year...they were so little!
take a look at eli's pumpkin, the big one. he wanted ears on it, which later he called "pinchers." he cracks me up.
love the pinchers! I heard about some of those ventures the next day at church when I helped Chelsea. Boy, was Julia still ecstatic about the trick or treating! I heard someone from Title One talk about how amazing this phenomenon must be for children. One day a year they get to dress up and go door-to-door getting candy. It would be like an adult going door-to-door getting money handed to them. Amazing!
