Pumpkin Carving Time

We have a family tradition of carving pumpkins the Monday night before Halloween!! We have a pretty good system down now...Matt gets grossed out by the pumpkin guts, so I help the kids clean them all out, then Matt goes to work carving the faces! Abbie & Annie were especially funny this year because they kept saying "slimey pumpkin smithereens" while they were working on cleaning their's out. If you've ever read "Too Many Pumpkins" (one of our favorite Halloween stories), then you'll know where that comes from. Anyway, without much more to say, here's some pictures of our evening!
Parker had a lot of fun watching as the girls were diggin' out the guts! I think the girls washed their hands 100 times too....

Here's Matt at work...carving out Parker's pumpkin!


The finished Jack-O-Lanterns!! Abbie's is on the left, then Park's, then Annie's....they all told Matt how they wanted them carved & Matt went to town! We're pretty proud of how they turned out!!

How cute! I love that Matt is the one that gets grossed out by the pumpkin guts. I think Parker's pumpkin is my favorite one of them all. Love you guys! Will you post a picture of them in their costumes for me?

Too much fun! Matt did a good job on the faces. I also like the picture of you, Meshelle. You look great!
