Last night we carved pumpkins. Jack had been asking us to do this virtually every day since we brought the pumpkins home. Anyway, the kids put on their new Halloween pjs from Aunt Kate and crowded around the kitchen table. Steve and Kate came over to help.
Here's a picture of the master at work. You'll notice our sad looking walls in the background. We're in the midst of removing wallpaper. Hasta La Vista 80's school picture backdrop.

What every good pumpkin party needs is a rendition of "Lady of Spain."
I was there too...and looking rather fetching I might add.
The carving scene was getting a little tired so Lily wanted her aunt to read to her.
Ok, change of heart. She crept up on to Steve's lap to assist with his pumpkin design.
It's hard to see but the little pumpkin saw, that came in one of those pumpkin carving kits, was ridiculous. Picture trying to mash potatoes with a teaspoon. Needless to say, the carving was a tedious event.
"Hey Steve, I have another one for you."
Fashion break.

Kate didn't realize when she moved to Rochester she would inherit her very own stylist. Jessica Simpson has Ken Paves. Kate has Lily Archer.

Another master. He had this little tool that perforates the pumpkin. He wanted to carve in the worst way.
Jack - O- Lantern!

Awesome pumpkins, guys! Wish we were there to trick or treat again! I also wish that I had halloween safety expert Jack Archer with me when I make the rounds. :)
Yes, always remember..."NEVER trick or treat during an electrical storm."
I was just looking at these photos with Attie (who kept asking why he wasn't in them), and when we got to the final shots of the pumpkins he started shrieking in excitement. See, I literally just bought a copy of The Nightmare Before Christmas last week, so Attie about wet his pants when he saw Dave's Jack Skelington pumpkin. So cool!
Lil is such a riot with the hair, by the way.
