Carving the Pumpkins!

Tonight was the BIG NIGHT at our house--Pumpkin Carving Night!! (much to the brother's disgust...) We carved pumpkins after Andrew's game (see below post for game details). This year, Jamie let all three kids just go to town with their knives and do their own pumpkin carving!
~~~
Here are the kids with their finished products...
(Andrew, Austin, and Abby) ~~~
Andrew killing--I mean carving--his pumpkin!

Austin is digging out the guts!

The Squirrel found lots of seeds in her ginormous pumpkin!

Trying to get all three kids to cooperate for a picture doesn't get any easier as the kids age! Here is the expression Austin gave me for most of the pictures...
What a DORK!!!
~~~
I was so lucky to be assigned the job of digging thru the guts and retrieving the pumpkin seeds. We have a lovely pan of seeds roasting in the oven tonight--yum, yum!!!!
~~~
Happy Halloween!!!

Wow, the pumpkin carving again...I miss having kids to do that. I don't miss finding the seeds, washing them and roasting them. They do taste good though.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN, we go to our dance as Miss Piggy and the Wild Boar. See another blog pic.
