Pumpkin Carving

Jackolantern Pumpkin Carving Party- Every year I host a carving party this year for my Moms Group at Church they year was the 8th year. Prize Pumpkins .Pumpkin Carving PartyThis year I did the Boba Fett from Star Wars and I used a really Pumpkin.   Originally I was going to do R2D2 but they pumpkin I had has a rotten bottom.  So I have to choose another larger pumpkin.  This year was great year for pumpkin they were all large and thick with the flesh,  so I wanted to choose one that was not to hard to cut.   In the past I have done  Styrofoam pumpkins because the designs were fun to see year after year (cats , Dragons, traditional Halloween).   Starwars yea one year is good.

Happy Halloween.

So here are some pictures of our Hurricane Halloween. girl dressed up as a witch

My son went as Micheal Phelps complete with swim shorts and 21 medals.  This was the easiest costume we Printed out “USA” and cut them out of felt and put them on the back of a Track suit I found at the Thrift store.  Then I printed the medals out and used a hole punch the ribbon was from the craft store and I could reuse the ribbon to tie up bread at Christmas.   The cap I found at a swim store.  Goggles left from the summer.

So I got to take the kids to Sesame Place  Spooktacluar  Halloween celebration. I have to say I think this is a great time to go to Sesame Place not too hot not too cold.  The kids really loved it. I brought my daughter age 7 and my son 11 and his friend 12.  They all have a good time, There was plenty to do for the big kids.

Pumpkin Decorating which is super fun they punkins were very reasonably prices starting at $4.  The Sesame Place personnel provided paint, stickers, duck tape and more.. so much fun for the kids.sesame place halloween

The kids also loved the Un Haunted house.  The house had interactive station as you walked through it. Like fun house mirrors and count the bugs.  The Kids really loved the interactive pumpkin that responded to them and talked to back asking questions then responding tot he children.sesame place hay maze
