Carved...

We had a little party Saturday night. It seemed fitting since we are definitely having a baby soon! Holynd is still so excited for Halloween she can hardly sit still. While she was napping Saturday, I sent Matt out to get a couple of pumpkins and all the fixings for Banana Splits. I stayed home and made sure our Kalua Pork cooked to perfection. :) So yummy and SO EASY! A hugely-pregnant mommies best friend.


The pink tablecloth doesn't exactly scream "Halloween", but it was in the pantry and lessened my anxiety about pumpkin guts.


Holynd begged for a pumpkin with a face. ??????? We didn't get what that actually meant, so we talked her into a cat and a witch.


Oh Sloane. My baby. She polished this bowl of ice cream CLEAN! And then she ate two mini candy bars. I give in to most of her requests lately. :) Pretty soon the fatigue will be non-existent and I will be much less fun as a mommy, but until then.... My kids get ice cream and candy bars.



Holynd kept telling us that we had to put "fireworks" in the pumpkins. We didn't have any fireworks (???) so we went with candles. Again, she seemed ok with it. ;)


We put the pumpkins outside and put the kids to bed.

Perfect party. Perfect weekend. (I might have eaten two Banana Splits..... Might.)

Holynd woke up the next morning upset. She was begging Matt to bring in the pumpkins. "Daddy! My pumpkins will freeze to death!!!!!!!! Please bring them inside!!!!!! Oh daddy! Bring them inside!!!!!!!" We had to explain that pumpkins like the cold. Holynd got over it, but she's still peeking out the windows every few hours to make sure her pumpkins are ok.

She also wants to carry them around the neighborhood saying "Ooooooooooooooo Scary!" to all the neighbors. Sloane just walks around saying "Boo!" to everyone. So sweet.

I can't wait to dress up these girlies tomorrow. I'm getting very uncomfortable, so I'm trying to will myself to stay (yes, stay) pregnant until Trick or Treating is over.

I'm going to be sad when Halloween is over. Holynd and Sloane have loved seeing all the scary decorations out. One day, when we were out shopping, I pointed out Christmas decorations to Holynd.... She just kinda wrinkled her nose and shrugged her shoulders.... Matt does the exact same thing. Weird.
