Pumpkin Carving

This year was an unusual one. With it being so warm we bought our pumpkins a bit too early. They turned to mush a few weeks back. So that meant another exciting trip out to the pumpkin patch to pick out pumpkins to carve. Oh what fun! So the kids were all geared up, had their faces planned out and set to work. Ethan completely did his on his own. I helped him just a bit with cutting the lid off. He did a great job! Miss Elena entertained us the whole time by imitating Linus from the peanuts Great Pumpkin by saying over and over. "You didn't tell me you were gonna kill it, aaawwwww" Pretty funny.
Natalie wasn't too sure and wouldn't touch anything at first, but once grandma started helping her she enjoyed checking for seeds. She kept peeking inside and saying "seed!" and Grandma would get it out. Funny. We washed up and baked the seeds and ended the night watching home videos. It was great! Love to go back over those. There are a few of Elena that I soo need to send into Funniest Videos. Prize winners for sure.

Trick or Treat night the kids got to help pass out candy so they posed with their pumpkin masterpieces. And here is the scary result...oooooohhhhhh spooky!
