Pumpkin Time

 Uncle Mark comes over every year and we carve pumpkins together. He brings the templates and tools so it makes it fun and easy.

 Mia chose a werewolf and Ethan wanted the screaming ghost. Riley was at my sister's house so I chose an owl for her.

 The kids hated scooping out the pumpkin guts! It is gross.

 Thanks to my hubby for taking a picture of me in my bathrobe. It's what every pregnant woman wants, right?

 Here's my owl. It turned out pretty well. Mine was the easiest template and I was done way before the others.

 Mike did the werewolf and Mark did the screaming ghost.

 I can't wait for Halloween. It's one of my favorite holidays!!

Halloween Fun at the Pavilion

 I bought the kids a pass to the Washington Pavilion last year for Christmas. They had a special Halloween event at the museum, so we packed the kids up and headed out.

 They had bubbles that were frozen. They popped when you touched them but they didn't feel cold. It was a neat experiment.

 They all made these coffee-filter type art projects. They dyed the edges of them.

 They had a hair-chalking station. The girls hit that up two different times to get different colors put in their hair.

 The girls wanted their faces painted. Riley had horses on both sides of her cheeks.

 Mia had a cat on her face. The face paint was glow-in-the-dark so we had to go under the black light to see what they looked like. Kind of creepy, if you ask me.

 My sweet Riley. She loves making faces and is such a goof.

We ended the evening by going out to eat with Uncle Mark. It was such a fun day. We're trying to squeeze as much as we can in before baby (aka cuatro) comes.
