After missing out on Halloween last year due to the whole family being sick with COVID we got to make up for it this year.
We carved pumpkins on the 30th. The girls each really participated this time with not just coming up with designs, but helping scoop guts out and Heather did almost her entire pumpkin herself.
Corinne’s design used the eyes to make ears. Heather’s is a cat sitting in silhouette. I added a side view of a cat to make a whole feline crew.
Corinne and Heather were both cats from the Warriors series. Heather was Firestar and Corinne was Graystripe. Jess did face paint for them to complete the looks.
Corinne’s friend was supposed to Trick-or-Treat with us last year, so we made that happen this time.
I’ve been putting the smoke machine out on Halloween since I got it, but just a little wind will clear the smoke almost immediately. So this year I pointed the smoke machine at the ceramic jack-o-lantern we have. So smoke fills the pumpkin and then drifts outs of the eyes, nose, and mouth. It was a much more effective result.
