"Cumpins"

Makett and Tanzen loved all things Halloween. We loved expanding (well, technically, creating) their Halloween vocab, and they loved finding pumpkins, witches, and ghosts around town. Pumpkins, aka "Cumpins", were their fav, and they were ecstatic when we bought some to bring home.

The squirrels kept nibbling on them, so we figured we better officially carve them before the squirrels finished them off.

They were shocked when Brandon started cutting into the pumpkin- I love the look on Ket's face.
Tanny was brave enough to get his hand gooey in the pumpkin...Ket watched with a look of trepidation. He doesn't like getting his hands (or feet) dirty. Really-- has the same issue with play dough and sand.
They wanted a happy pumpkin and were very pleased with Daddy's smiley Cumpin.
Lighting them became a nightly ritual, they loved putting the fire in and then trying to blow them out.
It's been 3 weeks since we had to throw the pumpkins away, and they're still asking for them. If Halloween decor was so much fun, I can't wait till Christmas!

Geddy was the same way with Halloween! I still hear him talk daily about "spooky" "haunted house" and "trick or treat!"
