My kids all have a terrible sweet tooth, especically Stone, so we usually try to limit the amount of sweets in the house. This does not apply to Halloween, Valentine’s Day and Easter. They really racked up this year having a total of 4 Easter egg hunts. Two at my mom’s house, one at our and one at Ginny’s mom’s. We like to prolong the “egg hunt” as long as possible. As of tonight there are no less that 6 chocolate filled eggs hidden around our house. We’ll have to hunt for them later. And I wonder why we have an ant problem in the yard.

As far as I can tell there aren’t many good uses for pumpkins, except for Jack-o-lanterns. Sure you can make pumpkin bread and well…..who am I kidding, nothing else. Our three little ones love to go to our local pumpkin patch and pick out there own pumpkins. We then take them home and argue about why they can’t use knives yet and why they need to let me help them carve their pumpkins. Kids are so independent at a young age, unfortunately they grow out of it and need everything. O.K. back on topic. Ever since I was a child I have loved to carve a jack-o-lanterns at Halloween. My kids also love it and I try to give them as much freedom as possible when they draw out a face to be cut. Here are there “creations” for the year. Not too bad. I’ve also included some pictures of my favorites over the past couple years. Have fun this Halloween, don’t eat any bad candy, carve a pumpkin. The uglier the better.
