We Finally Got Our Pumpkin (part 2)

I just love this picture!
-- I was kind of amazed at what a system we have developed with the whole pumpkin carving thing. Since it's only once a year, seems like it should have been more chaotic, but things went really well, only took us a half hour!! I was surprised :) It was actually REALLY fun!!


So, Kelly got the gettin' dirty award- she's the best at cleaning out the guts!
Bradley got the first time for everything award- he actually got in and helped out a lot this year- it was really cute to let him pull the lid off when we cut it open
Charity got the comment on every single little piece of slime you touch award :) Charity is good at vocalizing what she is doing- second by second. She's not too fond of the pumpkin guts, but she was a good sport about it this year and dug in.
Luke got the busy body award- he was totally uninterested most of the time, there was a few seconds where he stuck the spoon in and pulled out a seed or two, but other than that- not too thrilled :) He gets into the other kids' excitement though- kinda funny.


Luke even had to have some chips while we were working :)



Mommy is in charge of the actual carving and cleaning out- but thankfully- Daddy designs it- otherwise we would end up with the same triangle eyes, upsidedown triangle nose, smiley mouth with a few teeth face that I made every Halloween of my life :) (try not to notice my gray hairs in this picture- can you believe people think I dye my hair! That's some pretty crappy hair dye if it can't cover up the little bit of gray!)


I took this one in the dark believe it or not! Check out our cool pumpkin!! How fun!
Unfortunately we only braved the one- we should have done another one or two- we have this tradition down!
