Pumpkins EVERYWHERE!

Hello heroes!
This is the Mickey Mouse inspired design I
carved this year. 
Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year. I enjoy the cooler weather (who doesn't love wearing a sweater) and I LOVE all things pumpkin! One of my family traditions for as long as I can remember is our annual family Pumpkin Party. The whole family comes over and we carve pumpkins into Jack O'lanterns. We move all the furniture out of the way and watch old Halloween cartoons and movies while we cut, clean, empty, and carve our pumpkins. I'm usually responsible for food at family parties. This year we kept it easy with one of my favorite foods- PIZZA for dinner. I made a ton of desserts including Pumpkin Blondies, Apple Tarts, Oatmeal Cookies, Pumpkin Cupcakes, and Frozen Smore Pops. Something you might not know about me is that I LOVE to bake and like making new things.  
Here is my brother (Dylan), little cousin (Julia),
and I getting our pumpkins started.
Just a few of our pumpkin designs. 
Lastly, we clean the seeds and roast them for a fall time snack! 

 Blogging about my Halloween traditions makes me wonder- what Halloween traditions does your family have? 

 Can't wait to hear from you!

    Every year my family and the Murphy family (cousins) pick pumpkins and apples and the girls make apple pie and pumpkin pie (it's delicious I do say so to myself) and the boys roast the seeds with cinnamon. Finally we carve the pumpkins! I usually carve my pumpkin with the theme of my hobbies. What do you usually carve out of your pumpkins?
