Some of Alex's family came last weekend to see Olivia in her primary program. While they were here we decided it would be fun to make Halloween treats. We started out carving pumpkins.
Of course we made the girls take out the pumpkin "guts". Alex also told them he cut off the pumpkins brains when he cut the top off.
Olivia picked a great pattern from the pumpkin pattern book and Alex got started.
The girls were very happy with the results!!
Then I made some sugar cookies and Alex wanted the girls to "paint" the cookies like he did when he was little. They had so much fun-but I think that Alex had the most fun.
Here is the finished product-I only let them have 2 colors but I think they turned out beautiful and they were very tasty!!
By the way-it was not a great idea to carve the pumpkins 2 weeks before Halloween. We went outside yesterday to find the jack o lantern had collapsed into itself and pumpkin juice was all over the front porch. The girls were very upset!!!

I like the little face that Olivia picked. Where did you get a jack-o-lantern pattern book?
I love this time of year! There are so many fun things to do with the kids! And like you said, sometimes the parents have more fun than the kids! Those cookies look yummy!
You have the cutest little family ever!! I'm so glad you found me on facebook and my blog!! It's so good to see you. How's your family doing? How's the pregnancy going?
that's a snazzy little pumpkin! I'm impressed.
