Did this happen a month ago? Really?

This year for Halloween I had Ben 10 (a cartoon network character) and Wondergirl. Matthew just loves Halloween. We decorated the house at the beginning of October and counted down to the day. Talya wasn't happy unless she had her foot inside the plastic pumpkin and once we took pictures of her in her costume she started tugging at it, saying, "All done." It goes without saying that she wasn't nearly as enthusiastic.

My mom's computer is out of commission and she wasn't able to view the halloween pictures in slideshow format from her work computer. Let me know if you still can't see the pictures mom.

Pumpkin Tips

I heard great pumpkin tips on DIY Network and thought I'd share...

1. Spray the inside of your pumpkins with plain water daily to avoid mold growth. Since pumpkins are naturally moist inside, spraying them with water will prohibit mold spores.
2. Spray aerosol hair spray on the raw edges of any cuts you make. This will seal the edges and help to avoid shrinkage on pupils, teeth, etc.
3. Sprinkle cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice on the lid of your pumpkins and rub it in with your fingers. When you light the candles the lid will warm up and activate the scent. I tried this and it created the most wonderful smell. Matthew has been craving cinnamon toast ever since.

Halloween Carnival

Matthew had a blast at the Halloween Carnival held at his preschool. It was packed and there were a ton of stations with crafts, story telling, face painting, and games to win candy and prizes. Matthew went as Ghostface from the movie Scream and Talya was the cutest bumble bee known to man. She didn't like wearing the hood, but once I put it down she was all smiles. Oh, and the picture of Talya's butt was on purpose. My favorite part of her costume is the cute little stinger!
