Another year of pumpkin carving.
Last night the girls brought their pumpkins in from outside, and were anxious to begin carving them. They always look forward to this. Chelsea loves making messes with the pumpkins seeds, and letting all the pumpkin slime slide down her hand. Gross!!! I never carved a pumpkin when I was their age, and I'm happy that they don't mind the messy slimy stuff. I probably would have!
Sierra wanted to help carve Noah's pumpkin, but due to studying, and doing homework for HSPA testing, she fell asleep at her desk (sorry no photo included!) It was okay, because Noah wasn't too fond of all the pumpkin slime. He was just standing on the chair observing his two sisters hacking into these poor pumpkins...including his. I'm sure next year he'll have the desire to carve his own pumpkin since he'll be older.
All he wanted to do was color on the newspapers!
Lexie worked hard on carving, and pushing out all the carved parts of her, Chelsea, and Noah's pumpkins. Her hands and fingers were so sore by the end of the night!
When all was done with the pumpkin carving my better half, and I made 100 caramel popcorn balls for our church's trunk or treat. This is a tradition we love, and we make them every Halloween. The kids love them! These are not your normal popcorn balls. They are unique because it's my mother in laws recipe, and it is an excellent caramel one.
To make these soft & chewy popcorn balls here is the recipe. It's so easy!
1/2 cup butter
1 cup white corn syrup
Bring these three to a boil and add:
15 oz. condensed milk. Cook to soft balls stage & then add 1 tsp. vanilla.
ENJOY!
