The kids really, really, really wanted to carve pumpkins this year so i finally gave in and we went hunting for the perfect pumpkins. The kids were gung-ho for carving and laughing and excited till after i cut the tops off the pumpkins and told them how to get the seeds out. Both kids stopped dead in their tracks and looked at me like i was CRAZY! Neither one wanted to do it anymore. Me being the mean and nasty mom i am made them do it anyway (I mean really- getting the slimy stuff between your fingers is supposed to be the best part...) Both kids got tool after tool out of the kitchen drawer to find one that would let them do it without having to actually touch the icky stuff. After that they decided that they wanted to make their own designs and not use the pattern book (that they begged me to buy). The both created vampire pumpkins (i swear i didn't influence them at all!) They are both really happy with their pumpkins and enjoyed lighting them up outside that night.
Happy Halloween!
I absolutely LOVE seeing these pictures... Everyone looks great. Thanks for the memories even though I'm not there.
