What would you name YOUR pumpkin?

It's Halloween again! I love it for oh soooo many reasons! Here are three of them:

































What have we been up to this season? Well if you would be patient and just keep reading you would find out!

Here we have the adoring older sister "babysitting" Finn. In a few minutes she will tell me she is "all done with that (as she points at Finn)" because she is "worn out from all the moving."




























Next we have Henry and the Pirate Pumpkin he made. (In other words the Pirate Pumpkin he pointed at and shouted out demands while daddy burnt his fingers to a crisp with the hot glue gun.) Later Henry informed us that this Pumpkin is named "Pirate Bad Guy".






































Next we have Maggie posing with the Princess Pumpkin who she so elegantly named "Dayna" (and why not?) You will also see her gently caressing the chin of "Jamie" the Witch Pumpkin who is still awaiting her hat.



























Moving along to the Pumpkin Party! Maggie did the right side of her pumpkin's face all by herself! What did she name this pumpkin, you ask? Get ready for it.... "Amy"! Again, why not?



































Henry had help from daddy. After a lot of thought and consideration Henry decided to name his pumpkin "Henry". (It was a close call between "Henry" and "Bad Guy") Clever children here at the McDowell home.
















































Happy Halloween! From, Rob, Lilly, Jessie, Woody, and Bullseye! (You'll see what that means soon enough! Oh you'll see! And don't blame me if you die from the cuteness!)

I cease to be amazed at what creativity you guys come up with! Hot glue guns and punkins- who'd of thought?! (not me!)

Your three babes are JUST DARLING.

I guess I should clarify, the pumpkins with hot glue guns involved ("Pirate Bad Guy", "Dayna", and "Jamie" are not real pumpkins. They are the fake ones you buy at JoAnns so we will have those forever. What a ridiculous waste of money it would be if we had to throw them away!!

Fun Fun Fun till your daddy takes the T-bird away. Good times at the McDowell house for sure! We didn't even attempt the pumpkins this year so I congratulate you. Help me Rhonda.

I'm not sure what I would name my pumpkin- but I love the paint and accessories. We'll have to copy you next year :) Oh and I saw some of your kids costumes on Mckenzie's blog- way too cute!

Your kids are adorable. It looks like they are going to be just as creative as you too. That's awesome!

For real. That baby of yours looks like that baby of ours. I guess they must be related.
