Our Halloween jack o'lanterns.  James carved the one on the right all by himself.  Dad carved the other two.  yes, we cheat and use a pattern.

James went as Frankenstein, Jacob was Thomas the Tank Engine and Julia was a pink kitty.  Unfortunately, they wouldn't hold still long enough for me to get a good picture of everyone together in their costumes.  I made James' costume and we received a fair amount of compliments on it at his class party.  The hardest part was the green face paint (I ended up making some).

Jacob was so funny.  He didn't want to wait for people to offer candy.  As soon as the door opened and he saw the candy bowl, he lunged for it.  Julia loved having candy dropped into her bucket and was quite upset when it was time for her to go home. 

An amazing sight, isn't it, all that candy, but wait there's more . . .

Dad organized all the candy.
