The Carving of the Pumpkins

Marking where the tops should be

Daddy scoops out the guts

Benji wanted to design his own pumpkin this year

We were skeptical, but he insisted he could carve it himself

He did it!

Abby was spurred by him to do her own as well

Awesome candy corn

Benji loved it so much, he wanted to make another one

All the pumpkins for our lawn

And the one we did for the acac contest

Law School Halloween Party

Annual event put on by the students:

Kevin and Abby in a donut-eating contest

Cake walk

Benji wins! (he won the cake walk at PVCC, too. Lucky kid!)

Photo bomb!

Benji didn't love that and insisted on a picture by himself

PVCC Halloween Party

We had a bunch of Halloween events all smooshed into the last week of October.  The first was the PVCC Halloween party.  Just a few quick pics:

More Halloween Pics

We had a day full of fun.

Special breakfast:

 

Jack-o-lantern lunch sandwiches:

Matching shirts (Benji insisted):

 A little fun on the playground after school:

Spooky dinner:

 And trick-or-treating with friends:

 

Ending, of course, withe the annual sorting of the candy.  Each kid agreed to keep just 15 pieces this year and sell the rest back to us for our candy bowls at work.  Made the sorting even more fun:

Whew - until next year! (more pre-Halloween events to post next week first, though)

Happy Halloween!
