A Pioneer Halloween

Pumpkin carving is always a favorite activity at our house.  The girls love sticking their hands into the pumpkin to pull the gooey insides out.  They also love helping design the carving.

We tried to get creative with our carvings this year and used a pineapple corer to make polka dots and cat eyes.

Adair and I read our first American Girl, series, Kristen, this Fall and she decided she wanted to dress up as Kirsten, the pioneer girl this year, so, of course, her sisters followed suit.

The girls had funshowing off their costumes at their Halloween parade at school.

The parade was followed by a fun Halloween party in their classroom where they painted and decorated pumkins, dug for prizes in oily noodles and decorated cookies to eat.

After school our family headed to our community group's Halloween party for games, face painting and trick-or-treating.
