Pumpkin Carving

We did some pumpkin carving the other night! The kids had a blast! We went and they all picked out their pumpkins at the store. Then we came home and started digging out the pumpkin guts! This was so funny! Ty and Kailee loved it! Kyler looked inside and said "Gross I am not touching that!"...so I came over to start digging out his "guts"...when he saw my first handful he totally gagged and had to run to the bathroom! :) He didn't throw up and was ok after that...just the initial sight of "guts" was too much for him! Austin didn't gag but he didn't want to touch the "guts" either. {goofy kids...that's the fun part}
The carving began...they had so much fun...there wasn't a whole lot of talking cuz they were all concentrating so hard on carving their pumpkins perfectly! They took this job very seriously! Look how hard Kyler is working...he has that tongue workin'! {reminds me of Adam when he was little....does he still do that I wonder?...I will have to watch him next time I see him!}
The finished pumpkins...they were so proud to pose with their works of art! Tyson made a face on his with tears...but they were tears of joy not sadness...I asked why...he said they were tears of joy because he (the pumpkin) was carved by Ty! Kailee did a bunch of different things on hers...the word"pickles", a face or two and a peace sign. Austin made a dragon/dinosaur thing he created. Kyler did a face with teeth and drew in a forehead. (that would be the black rectangle you see!) Our front porch has never looked better! :)

6 chatted at me:

I'm with Kyler. And that's the reason we have no jack-o-lanterns on our porch, cuz Mom can't handle the scooping (and the smell- bleh!) Looks like y'all had fun. Almost enough to get me to change my mind! See you tonight!

Cute! I had to throw ours out today. They were COMPLETELY full of mold. We carved them Saturday and the mold started appearing by Tues. By today it was too much for me and out they went! Hope yours last longer cuz they are really cute!

Great pumkins guys! I agree, the fun part is de-gutting. Have a great Halloween, wish we were there. Can't wait to see the pics of the costumes. Just be glad Grandpa isn't there, he would make all of you give him some of your cache, just ask your mom! Right T.
