Pumpkin Carving!

We love Halloween. We love candy, and dressing up the kids, and the fall leaves, and carving pumpkins! 6 years ago this past weekend Noah proposed to me while we were carving pumpkins with his family, so pumpkin carving always brings back special memories.

Of course we want picking the pumpkins to a family event, however this year Ruby and Isaac looked like this as we took our trip into Walmart to pick our pumpkins.

We did manage to find 3 pretty good pumpkins for the kids to carve. They were so excited when we got home that they could barely eat their dinner!!

Getting ready to start....finally! He was a good sport. This was also the first year that Levi dared to touch the gooey squishy pumpkins guts! He did a great job cleaning out his pumpkin. Then he drew pictures of faces all over it and showed me which one we should cut out. It turned out really cute.Ruby being like her big brother, even though she didn't have a clue what we were going to do. She loves drawing, so he loved being allowed to draw with a marker on something beside paper!Isaac chillin' with the pumpkins. He was promptly removed as soon as the knifes appeared!Isaac had his first adventure in a high chair. I have been feeding him in his bouncy chair because it takes up to much less space, but thought he would enjoy being up where everyone could see him. He loved it, and even touched a few pumpkin guts!We turned out with three great pumpkins!!
