Pumpkin Carving

Last night we went to Macey's and let the boys pick out a pumpkin. We were hoping to make it to an actual pumpkin patch but it's not meant to be this year. (Halloween just kind of snuck up on us) Anyway, we decided it would be a fun family activity after church to carve these pumpkins.  Carving pumpkins has NEVER been my favorite thing to do.  I HATE pumpkin guts. Anyways, anything to make the kids happy. So, here they are cleaning out their HUGE pumpkins!

 hmmm...yummy pumpkin inards...NOT!

 Boys LOVE slimyness!

 Ben really got into it this year. It was so fun to watch.

So, after the gross part of cleaning was done, the boys picked out what they wanted to have carved into their pumpkins. Kent and I helped on this part since trusting our boys with knives might not be the safest idea.  Well, as Kent and I are carving.....the boys take off to watch a movie. FUN.

Here is a picture of the final pumpkins with their CUTE owners!

Austin's pumpkin is a cat, Cameron's pumpkin is a spider (hold on Cameron....don't drop it) , and Ben's is a cute smiley face.
