Let's Carve Pumpkins!

Or NOT!  Let's be real, pumpkin carving at this age basically means the kids want to "help" but the parents go to town on carving pumpkins, while making sure the kids don't kill each other with sharp objects, or start fighting while our hands are full of goop and we are trying to organize a fun family night...  Brody was not really getting into it at all, Crew was totally grossed out (big wimp) with the goop, just wanted the seeds and was being a whinny about having to touch anything he just wanted to carve...Good lesson point on having to do things we don't like to do first, before we can get to the part we do like... :)
But once the initial wake of energy made it through, we ended up with some great final products, thanks to my role of finding some good designs that Crew and Brody got to pick from off the Internet.  Just a fun little Sunday night, now the excitement is VERY high about dressing up tomorrow, should be fun!

Buzz and the "Angry Birds" pumpkin

Crew and his "mad man" pumpkin

Chris put the final touches on the carving, good job! Left handed and everything :)

Love a little fall front porch...and the smell of my pumpkin marsh mellow Scentsy burning in the house....


Have to show this picture of  Kendallita from the weekend...Probably the only time we will get her with a Lion, a little blackmail for her parents being teachers at Meridian ;)

Frosting some cupcakes, yummy!

I can't believe we are getting into November already...But that means we can start focusing on some very cold, windy, and stormy weather... :)
