Carving!

What is Fall and the Halloween season without carving a pumpkin?

This year we had a lot of fun with this pumpkin of ours.

 

First of all, it was a LOT bigger than any other pumpkin we have Shawn has carved. It was a good 4-5 inches thick. He had to use a saw to get through!

Once the top was off, the kids went wild, grabbing out the insides. Reagan wouldn’t touch anything, but she enjoyed watching. There were pumpkin guts everywhere, I should have laid down a floor mat.

Then we got a little crazy. The pumpkin was so big, I thought we should put the kids inside. Reagan DID NOT like the idea (oh, but wouldn’t that have made a cute picture?) Shawn picked the boys up and put their heads in the pumpkin. Of course, it would have been a whole lot easier to just lift the pumpkin up and place it over their heads…. but I guess the upside-down pumpkin head is funnier.

The pumpkin....all lit up, with an eye turn, or Esotropia. (of course, our pumpkin must have an eye problem).

Our family. I think this may be the most perfect picture of all of us we’ve ever ever taken.

Then the kids made some funny pumpkin faces. Look at these goofs….

 

Oh boy, was it a fun night. I think we all had a great time. Family fun at home really is more thrilling than any other attraction or outing.

We finished the night with some deliciously roasted pumpkin seeds. YUM! These are one of my favorite foods, no joke. We love ‘em!
