pumpkin carving, pumpkin cookies and pumpkin decorations...

It must be OCTOBER! Well, October flew in with a cool breeze and has come to an end just as fast. The first week of October was a bit boring and HOT! Then mother nature decided to give us a bit of cool air to set the October mood. We pulled out our winter clothes (well a few of them, because next week it will be hot again) put out Halloween decorations, carved a pumpkin, baked pumpkin cookies and enjoyed the cool weather. The boys had alot of fun getting ready for Halloween this year. They LOVED putting fake spider web all over the front porch and pulling the ooey gooey guts out of the carved pumpkin( They are ALL boy!).Pulling out our winter uniform for school. Shorts with a sweatshirt. LOL! This is how we do it in the south! :) Carter's cute winter pajamas! By the way for all of you who ridiculed me for Carter having a pink stroller, we now have a new blue one. SO THERE! :>
Getting the guts out of the pumpkin! This was their FAVORITE part!
Daddy concentrating so hard to carve the pumpkin. He defintly has a touch of OCD! :)
Finished pumpkin!
Lighted up at night! Carter kept saying"Ohh, Scary pumpkin outside!".
Making pumpkin cookies. I invited some of the church kids, who live in our neighborhood,over to make cookies.Carter just wanted to play in the flour. He just looks so innocent.

Rolling out the dough. They were having fun making a mess!

Ready to put in the oven.
Finished product. Let's eat! YUM!
*Thanks Sarah for the cute idea for the can pumpkins!
