Halloween Fun

showing me her moves.

We decided to have a pumpkin carving party. We have never carved pumpkins with the kids before. We usually just let them paint all over them and call it good. I think Siena is starting to pick up on Halloween. She asked me the other day why it was such a scary holiday and why people dressed up as ghosts and ugly things. Luckilly we still want to be pretty ballerinas. All Sunday we made and decorated sugar cookies. I need to learn not to get the kids all excited by telling them we are going to do something that is so far in the future. They constantly ask about it since they can't tell time and it is frustrating. Siena was dressed for the party by 3 and it didn't start till after dinner. We had a good time. We decorated the dining room with bats and ghost suckers and spiders all over. Siena has been way in to crafting lately so she did it all. Ben did the spiders. It's been a lot of work just to come up with a new craft each day to keep Siena entertained. So we had a fun party. I found these silly faces that you can just punch in to the pumpkin, like a Mr. Potato head. They were awesome. Ben has a two faced pumpkin. All three pumpkins are cute. Everyone enjoyed the sugar cookies with way too much candy on them and we had a good time. Siena was even happy with her take two costume, the ballerina, since I didn't finish her Jessie the cowgirl one.
