Old McKapnick Had A Farm

Leland decided awhile back that he wanted to be a farmer for Halloween. He then decided that Sutton should be a cow. He also thought that Nathan should be a rooster and I should be a pig. Well, part of his wish came true, Sutton was a cow. We started the night off by going to family who live near by. We then ventured to our old stomping grounds for a small trunk or treat. We finished with some houses in our old neighborhood. The kids got way more candy then they need, but Nathan and I have been doing a good job of helping them to get it eaten!! Hey I bet you have never seen a cow that drives a lawn mower!!

Pumpkin Guts

Pumpkin carving, oh what fun!!! Leland did a good job with helping to scoop out all the guts. He was certain not to touch any with his hands though, he would only touch them with the spoon. He also directed Nathan as to what shapes he wanted everything to be. He then had fun stuffing his pocket full of pumpkin seeds!! Sutton, of course, lost interest fast and was off riding his bike before we barely had the top cut off the pumpkin. I guess I can't blame him. He wanted to help cut the top off and before I knew it he was grabbing the knife blade. Thankfully he only had a very minor cut on 1 finger.
