While we were whiling away the time between school and trick or treating, we decorated our pumpkins. We had the pumpkins for weeks set up on our countertops and therefore were a bit squeamish about carving them. A rotten jack o lantern was the last thing I wanted on my doorstep. So creative genius set in and I brought out the markers and paint. Well, markers don't stay on pumpkins although they do show up. It is quite convenient to be able to wash your creation off of a pumpkin with just a little bit of water!
We found that the paint markers looked best and Allison decided that instead of drawing a typical jack o' lantern, she and Jack would draw the pumpkins to match our likeness.

We ended up with our pumpkin family. Jason and I share the largest pumpkin and then they go in size order representing the oldest to youngest in the family. I was so impressed by how creative and detail oriented both Allison and Jack were in putting our physical traits on a pumpkin!
Before the sun went down, Thomas and Pinkalicious were ready to go door to door to get some yummy candy!
They came back with full bags and the experience of a fun night. Impressively they have not eaten or requested obscene amounts of Halloween candy. However their hormonal mother is a different story. I am not sure how many more Halloweens I have before they have a mental checklist of their candy and notice that the only 2 Milky Way candy bars have disappeared...
