Day 2-Spiders
We made spider ice cubes to go with dinner.
We had some other spider activities and crafts planned, but decided to spend our evening carving pumpkins.
Adam's pumpkin was about the size of Gwen!
Even Gwennie got her own baby size pumpkin.
After dinner, the kids got right to work on designing their faces. Adam wanted a Goblin face on his pumpkin and Tessa wanted a Ghost face on her pumpkin.
She is trying to show Eric how she wanted her pumpkin face to look, and she wanted it exactly like the face she was making.
Adam did a good job of scooping out his pumpkin "brains". As you can see, Tess wanted nothing to do with her pumpkin or it's "brains".
Tessa was a good supervisor.
Gwen spent her evening doing what she does best-emptying the cupboards.
Even Mommy got to do some carving.
Tessa decided to be brave and put her candle in her pumpkin, but was less than thrilled when her hand touched the inside of the pumpkin.
They turned out super cute!
Day 1-Mummy's
For our final day of our Halloween countdown, we did one of their favorite Halloween activities-Toilet Paper Mummy's. Adam wrapped Tessa and Tessa wrapped Adam. They loved it!
Tessa the Mummy!
Adam wanted to be a real mummy and have his whole face covered. Tessa placed each piece of toilet paper over his face so carefully. It was cute to watch her be so meticulous.
Adam the Mummy!
And then came their favorite part-destroying all the toilet paper and pretending to make it snow inside.
We made a Mummy Pizza Braid for dinner.
To finish everything off, Daddy told the kids the story of the Spanish Fork Indian. (Eric makes up the best stories for the kids and they love hearing them over and over again.)
Tessa was a little spooked, but they were glad to finally hear the story Daddy has been saving for Halloween Eve.
They are crazy excited for Halloween and Trick or Treating! I hope they get some sleep tonight. You'd think it was Christmas Eve around here!
