Pumpkin Carving

If you can't tell already, our family (me in particular) LOVES Halloween! Last night was pumpkin carving night. It is so much fun now that the older kids can do a little more designing, cutting, and "gutting" of their own. Mom and Dad came up as well which always makes it extra fun. They brought a very large and very "wrinkly" pumpkin which dad said was obviously a Grandpa pumpkin because it had so many wrinkles. This was Sadie's first pumpkin carving experience and she didn't quite know what to do, but she sure loved pulling out all of the insides of the pumpkin. The kids all did really fun and unique pumpkins. Cayden's was scary, McKell's was a princess complete with crown and jewels, and Ashlee's was a cat. Rob helped Sadie and did a cute little face on hers. Afterward we had yummy homemade pumpkin bars that McKell and Ashlee helped me make. The best part is when all of the pumpkins are lit up and we count to three and turn off all the lights.
