Pumpkin Carving

Last week we took the kids to pick out pumpkins to carve. Sam had just woken up and was too tired but luckily his had already been picked out for him because it was from Grandma Williams' garden. Kate made her choice very selectively while Joe looked for the tallest one he could find. Alice found a little one and wouldn't put it down. She'd even fussed at us when we went to purchase them because she did not want to let go!

Then we had a lot of fun Monday night carving our pumpkins together. We hollowed them out and the kids we disgusted by the "punkin guts." Kate and Sam used markers and drew faces on theirs. Sammy got a little frustrated because he didn't know how to make a "silly punkin face for his guy." So I asked him, "Do you want it like this [making a funny face], like this [making a happy face], or like this [making a scary face]." The scary face won.

Now the kids love going out to the front porch to check out our pumpkin family.
