I love it!! Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year! It is fun to carve pumpkins and dress up, decorate, corn mazes and kiddy haunted houses (I am not a big fan of things that are too scary!) and eat candy...and not feel as guilty! :o) Ok, so maybe that last part isn't true but Halloween is Spook-tacular!
Tradition continued this year and for Family Home Evening last night we carved our pumpkins...
or as PG says "PUMPIN"
This is really PG's first experience with this, he didn't really help last year, not really interested. So this year was fun, we got him started and let him do it.
He is so funny, his hand would be fully extended in order to get it out of the pumpkin and into the pile of goop!
Handfuls of goop! and he really didn't mind the feeling...he just pulled it out...
but what he really wanted....
was the KNIFE...fortunately someone brilliant came up with these fabulous knives that are GREAT for cutting the pumpkin and NOT cutting the child! So we just gave it to him and let him go.... We helped with the shapes but he did a lot of the cutting on his own...
Then when we would pull the shape out, he spent some time making him pumpkin a shape sorter...he was trying to put the eye back in.
Daddy wanted him to carry his own pumpkin to the porch...it was a bit big and awkward and heavy but he got it out of the kitchen
barely!
PD was cute, just sat there and smiled while we worked...We just drew a face for her's! (she didn't really care!)
Here are the finished products...KJ, Mine, PG and PD's you cant see because it wasn't cut...
But there it is with the fam.
SO FUN!!!!
"PUM-PIN"!!!

Love those pumpkins!!!So fun to see the pictures with them lit. Thanks for your fun blog. Adara is soooo cute in the picture. Good job being fun parents for your lovely children. I think parents love doing these things...at least I do...just because we are still children...and so fun to watch the joys in their faces as they discover life with us...Love Mother
