Halloween Pumpkins

We carved pumpkins last night for family night. It was a gooey slimey mess, but we had fun. Most of the kids are big enough to clean and carve their own. Boston pick this really ugly one out that look more like larry the cucumber then a pumpkin, and when it came time to carve it he insisted that he picked it out for his little sister and my pumpkin was the one he picked. That was drama in itself, so all I had to do was take a picture of my amazing jack o lantern with him and he was extatic. I will now give pictures so you can ooh and ahh at my amazing pumpkin carving abilities.
Chase and Alora did their own pumpkins and brooklyn was totally grossed out by the entire process, so she had help from anyone she could talk into it. Talli just had a good time running around and checking things out. We had a pumpkin gut throwing fight, but no pictures due to the icky messy. On a side note dried pumpkin insides have a glue like quality. :(










And of course a picture of me with my pumpkin!


The kids wanted me to add pictures of how cool their pumpkins look in the dark for Phil since he won't get to see them lit up. We miss you Daddy!




This last one is bostons green cucumber pumpkin that did an amazing humpty dumpty impersonation, alas we were no more skilled than the king's horsemen.
