Due to the pending Hurricane and questionable forecast on Halloween day, we put on our costumes and headed to the mall for some early trick-or-treating.

Pumpkin Carving 2012

I know how to keep the twins occupied for a good hour and a half. Have them gut their own pumpkins! I couldn't believe how long they dug into the slime. After the scooping was done they were off into the make-believe world pretending to make pumpkin pie and many other seasonal treats. They were up to their elbows!

Later that night we hosted the 7th (gasp) annual NICU carving with our special NICU neighbor.  As you may remember, the parents carved the pumpkins during the first year while the three girls were still in the NICU.

We didn't get a lot of action shots because all parents were elbow deep in the carving process.  Savannah carved most of her own with a little help from me.  The twins didn't really want to carve their own.  What they did want was for mommy and daddy to carve whatever they could dream of.  This year was a train and a duck.  Not so hard, thank goodness.  

Year 7!!

This year, the kids took pictures of us!

Look Who Caught up to her Sister!

Adeline lost BOTH bottom teeth within one hour of each other. Actually, she had Daddy pull the second one because it was "uncomfortable." She was overjoyed and up at 6:00 a.m. the next morning to show us her tooth fairy dollars. If you know Adeline, you know she NEVER wakes up at 6:00 a.m.
