Happy Halloween!

 Here is Claire on her third Halloween! :) We carved our pumpkins yesterday, and Claire was unbelievably excited...she kept telling us, "Pinkus--hooray!" Pinku is her own version of pumpkin. :)
 Claire and I made our "happy" Halloween pumpkins...Daddy likes to make his pumpkin be a little spookier.
 We all had our own spoons to carve our pumpkins. At the beginning, Claire did NOT think carving the "guts" out the pumpkin was exciting. In her words......
 "YUCKY!" Doesn't  her face just say, "I don't know about this???"
 Of course, her parents remarkable powers of persuasion about how fun pumpkin carving was cracked the shell eventually. Then Claire REALLY got to enjoying herself! :)
 Claire's change of heart: "Here are the guts, Daddy!" :)
 "Fun, fun!"
 And of course, I couldn't pass up an opportunity to be silly with my girl. I love to pretend to eat the pumpkin slime...especially when Claire will ham it up with me! :)
 Austin carved a pretty spooky pumpkin while Claire and I carved our happy pumpkin. Of course, we bought a tiny pumpkin for Claire, but I forgot to take a picture of it.
 Claire and Mommy's happy face pumpkin! Cheery Halloween for us girls...Claire likes to call our pumpkins the "happy" pumpkin and the "sad" pumpkin. Silly girl. :)
The finished products among the destruction from the carving. Happy Halloween! :)
