How does YOUR pumpkin smile?

This was the first year we bought big pumpkins and then carved them. It was a lot of fun and while Little Moo seemed uncertain about removing the pumpkin guts (he isn't big on yucky hands) once he saw we were digging around in there too he didn't seem to mind as much. He really got a kick out of pumpkin "lids".  Since this was the first time, he didn't understand why we were doing it, but once he saw them lit up he was pretty excited. Our pumpkins smile like this!

A Barbalootous Little Moo

In case you didn't know, Little Moo was a Barbaloot for Halloween this year. A Barbaloot is a fictional character from his favorite Dr. Seuss book, The Lorax. He has insisted he wanted to be a Barbaloot for about 6 months now so we decided we could oblige, how hard could it be to find a teddy bear costume right? Well it proved more difficult than originally thought but thanks to the help of both of his grandmas he was the cutest little Barbaloot you ever did see. Zippercow was The Onceler  from the same story (at LM's insistence) and I was a bee (yeah it doesn't fit the theme the other two had going, but I wasn't about to be a furry little guy with a mustache!) You should know that Barbaloots sit under Truffula Trees eating Truffula Fruit (hence the bunch of grapes in his hands). We had a wonderful Halloween and Little Moo really enjoyed himself which is all we can ask for!  Thanks Grams and Grammy for the help with Little Moos costume, it was a success!  Oh, and apparently Barbaloots don't mind snakes!
