Annual Pumpkin Carving...

I think the saying is "better late than never..." and that is my moto this year!!! I have so many pictures, and so much to post, so I am going to try and get caught up! Here are some pictures of our pumpkin carving. The kids were really excited to carve them, in years past we have put much planning and long hours of choosing exactally what we were going to carve. This year, I found a website with "kid friendly" ideas. Each of the kids picked out what they wanted, and with little help (ok, besides Halle), (and besides that Clay was nervous that Cayden would "mess his up") they carved them by themselves. I think that they turned out really cute! We were, however, worried that they pumpkins were going to be wrotten, because our house faces the West, and so the sun beats on our porch, and it has been unseasonably warm this year. They did end up being a little squishy, but you can't tell!

The token picture...

Clay's job is ALWAYS to clean out the guts...it makes me want to hurl when I touch the innerds of a pumpkin!

Halle wanted to do a "scary" pumpkin this year...it was really cute, and totally out of character of her!

Cayden found this really cool pumpkin, it was shaped like a skull, so of course he had to carve a skull!

Kylee's turned out the cutest I think! I looked like a bat when it was lit up.

Until next year...in hopes that I will get the pictures posted BEFORE Halloween!
