One more Halloween post

The other night we went to visit Larry's grandma and Aunt Lynn. The boys wore their costumes and were excited to visit great mom mom as we call her. They also got to play with their cousin Kiara whom they just adore.

A funny story about calling her great mom mom. We also call my grandma great mom mom. When I referred to Larry's grandma I would say we are going to great mom mom's and they would get confused and say which one. I said your other great mom mom. They started calling her "their other great mom mom"! They thought that was her name! I decided we needed to change that so now we say great mom mom G or great mom mom K! lol.

Here are a couple of pictures from our visit.


Great Mom Mom G and the boys.

After Aunt Lynn joined in the picture taking it was just hopeless to get this group to pose nicely! We were laughing so hard at her!




We had a really fun night eating, laughing and visiting!

On Halloween we carved our annual pumpkins. This year the boys chose a Star Wars theme. Justin actually wanted me to carve the Death Star. After looking at the directions and reading it took between 4-10 hours to carve, I quickly vetoed that idea! (maybe next year)


Cutting the tops off their pumpkins. They both did well. I was a little leery to let Kaden have that cutting tool but he was so insistent and is so independent. I let him have a go of it. He did really well.


scooping out the guts......(yes it was really warm here, notice the missing shirt!)

Our completed pumpkins....after two hours of me carving!
