Halloween Activities Part 1

Our pre-Halloween activities were carving pumpkins the day before and delivering cookies to the people on our street. M and B were both excited to carve pumpkins...until we started!



Once B touched the slime on the inside of the pumpkin she was pretty insulted. I can just imagine her thinking..."now why did they make me stick my hand in there?!"



M was more adventurous this year and stuck her hand in the pumpkin a few times...

until she decided she didn't like having "pumpkin juice" on her hands. She still wanted to get the pumpkin guts out but didn't want her hands to be dirty.

This is were those silly gloves that came with our pumpkin carving kit came in handy! I thought they were pretty dumb until M used them and continued getting of the innards of the pumpkin out, happily!

M and B with their final Jack-o-Lanterns. M wanted a scary one and she designed the face. Mommy did the actually drawing and carving. Of course I like happy pumpkin faces so B's was smiling and she even got a heart nose...a first for me!

I spent two days making these pumpkin and ghost cookies and we delivered them to the neighbors!

We loaded the wagon with plates of cookies and delivered them to the neighbors. Each girl took a turn handing the cookies to neighbors. Every time the door would open B would say, "Happy Hallween" (Not a typo...she left out the O!) M and B are both so cute and had such a fun time giving cookies to all their friends.

B enjoyed "helping" with the cookies. Her type of helping is cleaning the beater with frosting on it for me. Once it is clean she wants to do it over so I smear more frosting on the beater for her!


I know there is a lot here so I will post our actual Halloween pictures in our Part 2...hopefully tomorrow!
