Halloween anticipation is building over here. . . . we've had many practice runs at wearing the costumes and are only two days away from the big day! Wahoo! I love parenting for many reasons but one of my top five (or one) is the fact that I can totally love up the kids traditions again. It's Halloween man! Heck yeah!
We had a very Alaskan experience last week. We spent a good long time researching the perfect pumpkin design and settled on Iron Man. By "We" I think we all know who drove this decision.
I searched Pinterest for a design and saw this guy:
After all that work, we proudly put our pumpkin out. The next morning when James caught the bus, I noticed it was gone and the little chair it was sitting on was tipped over. I conferred with Matt- but no, he didn't take our pumpkin to work to show his co-workers.
Pretty sure a bear visited us and swiped our pumpkin. I am feeling pretty good about the fact that there was a bear on our front porch. Once again, our kids will never be allowed outside without an adult. Yikes.

| Clearly that didn't happen. Ours resembled more of a traditional jack-o-lantern face with a small mouth. However if you say "Wow, IRON MAN" emphatically enough, even a four year old can see your artistic interpretation. |

| Despite the vision, James was not willing to do any heavy lifting. Note his excellent delegation. |

That's a bit more extreme than the squirrels eating the faces of pumpkins around here :)
