carving pumpkins

We really waited until the last minute to carve our pumpkins this year. The beginning of the month was so hot, so I wanted to wait so our pumpkins wouldn't rot.




Then before I knew it, Halloween was here and we hadn't done our pumpkins yet! We bought them earlier this week and finally carved them last night.


I have to say that I really appreciate the fact that it is warm enough to carve pumpkins outside so that the mess is more easily cleaned up and I don't have to worry about pumpkin guts getting all over my kitchen!


All 3 kids did a great job of scooping out their own goop. Jack told me what he wanted for his face. You can see on the forehead of Grace's pumpkin that she drew the face she wanted. Garrett also drew his face on, but more to scale.

I have the perfect old bench in our front yard to display our little pumpkin family.
