Robocop the Pumpkin

This year we were able to enjoy Halloween 'old-school style' - we actually carved our first pumpkin and had tons of trick-or-treaters. I was a little more generous in my candy portions than Casey (I would give a small handful, about 3-4 pieces, and he would give just one tiny piece to each) but we had a fun time seeing all of the costumes the kids came up with! We rounded out the night with a good scary movie - Aliens. Above is a picture of us carving our pumpkin named Robocop. Isn't he handsome!

I also took the time to sort through all of the squishy muck to roast the seeds. It was my first time doing it. It was delicious.
