Getting ready for Halloween

One of my favorite things about Halloween is all the fun the kids and I have making Halloween related dinners and treats. The picture above is Hunter's favorite thing to make... Boo Bugs. His favorite part is getting to decorate them by squeezing the ketchup and mustard through a syringe. He also loves making the "web" out of ketchup and ranch dressing. We have a tradition that every year we make "ghost pancakes" for the kids with different scary faces. They are so easy to make and the kids get such a kick out of them.
This year we made a really cute Frankstein pizza...

This is Hunter's monster pizza :)

It was soooo funny to watch the kids with their pumpkins this year. My favorite part is taking out the seeds and I thought that this year Avery would get a kick out of it. No way! She absolutely refused to put her hand in and touch the seeds. When we put her hand in the pumpkin to have her try this is what happened....

When we finally convinced her that she was fine, she would reach in and grab some seeds, then ask for a towel to wipe off her hands. This continued the whole time we cleaned out the pumpkin, oh boy what a girly girl.





We let Hunter design and carve his own pumpkin this year which he was more than ecstatic about. He did a great job for only being five I was so proud of him he is so cute :)



And here were the end results we all had so much fun. I'll have to put up pictures of them in their costumes later they were so cute.
