Halloween

Last night we decorated and carved pumpkins. The little man loves his Mr. Potato Head clown and pirate.

My husband got artistic and created this ghost from a pattern we found online. This was the first year we carved a pumpkin and the little man was not willing to stick his hands into the pumpkin. :) He did try the pumpkin seeds we roasted and wasn't too sure about those either! :)

We lit a candle (in a jar) first, so that the little man could see a candle-glowing pumpkin. But then I went and got a battery-powered set of LED lights from IKEA. We wrapped the lights around the candle jar. Safe and no worries about fire.

The photo of your little one put a big smile on my face. I can just hear him laughing with delight. I love Mr. Potato pumpkin too. Both are adorable. Thanks for sharing the photos.

Love the idea about the LED lights instead of a candle. My little guy and girl did not want to touch the pumpkin insides either! I work with ReadyMade and think you should check out some of their holiday crafts
as well.

Your husband did a great job but your son's expression with Mr Potato Head Pumpkin is priceless.

Thank you for the advice on the paper cutter. I mention it here: http://lazydayandsundays.blogspot.com/2009/10/helpful-bloggers.html and plan to use it this afternoon. A 40% off coupon at Michael's made it a great buy!

Kim, your little guy has gotten so big! We just came in from carving pumpkins . . . great idea with the LED lights, I wish there was an IKEA near me. :)

Ha! This is so cute! My daughter decided (out of the blue) that we need to roast pumpkin seeds, too. We'll see how that goes...lol. Great idea with the LED lights - might have to try that out.

Hi. Beautiful carving, really work of art, so as of your little man. The idea of using LED lights is great. I have to try it. I'm always afraid of fire when the candle is burning inside the pumpkin.

Take care,
Ella
