Pumpkins and Costumes

I thought I would be prepared ahead of time for our annual pumpkin carving by having the pumpkin, the tools, and the camera charged. Nope...didn't get the camera charged! So I have 1 picture of the actual night and just the memories in my head!
It actually was good because at most of our family events, I really want to document it with pictures so we will always have that memory. Because of that, I forget to look, listen, and enjoy what is actually happening. I miss the faces, the smiles of glee when the girls are doing something fun because I'm too busy behind the lens. So this year, I got to experience first hand the looks of disgust at the pumpkin goop and the looks of glee when we found all the seeds! It was a fun night!

Notice the pencil, nail polish bottle, and pack of pencils shoved into our poor pumpkins facial features! The girls thought this was a hoot!






Super baby! Yes, I had to dress my little boy in Superman this year!










This year the girls wanted to be fairies. That is fine with me because Eliza got her costume for her birthday and I found Adrianna's for $10!

Cute little pixies you've got there and that is one HANDSOME superdude!!! =)
I am with you on the camera thing. Lately I've been purposefully leaving the camera behind or at least taking a picture at the beginning or end of things and not fussing with it. Pictures never tell the whole story anyway. I'm glad you could enjoy making the memories - that's what lasts.
