Carving Pumpkins

We carved pumpkins on Sunday. From left to right they are Aveire's girl pumpkin with eyelashes and ears, Brian's Jack the Pumpkin King pumpkin, and Laura's haunted house pumpkin. We all had a fun time scooping out the insides and then it took Laura a long time to carve her's because she wanted to try something hard. Then after Brian was playing video games for a while he didn't want to carve his so Laura did it for him but at least he picked out the design. We also had to roast the seeds and they tasted so good but there were too many to eat last night so we still have quite a few left to eat later.

Worms!

Our ward had a Halloween potluck and trunk-or-treat on Saturday so Brian and I decided to make Jello Worms to bring. They were so fun to make and not very many people ate them probably because they were just not sure what it was. It was fun for the kids though, Romney and Averie thought it was cool to eat worms. Ben helped us eat the Jello scraps from the mold.

For the recipe go here. It was basically make Jello and then pour it into a half gallon milk carton with a lot of straws inside. The bendy ones make them look more real. Then when it is hard you separate the straws and push out the Jello. In a bowl they looked pretty gross.
