Tonight we did our annual pumpkin carving. We were supposed to do it last night but life happened and so it got postponed til tonight. The bad part about doing it tonight was that Craig had a meeting at work so he didn't get to participate. I'm sure he missed watching the kids faces as they attempted to do their own pumpkins but I'm sure he didn't miss the clean up :) Grandma & Papa came over to help and we all had a good time. Sari & Ashlie were able to do most of theirs by themselves so that was fun to watch them figure it all out and draw their own faces on the pumpkins. Tyler of course still needed some assistance but he was so cute. He would get the knife in and then just saw straight up and down for several minutes "carving" his pumpkin. They each designed their own pumpkins. Tyler chose a heart for a nose. After we got them all carved we all went out and got them lit on the porch and stood back to admire.

Your pumpkins look so cool! The girls aren't quite up to the knife-wielding stage yet, so we do everything with paint pens or markers. Much safer. :)
HEY!! Isn't SOMEONE's BIRTHDAY tomorrow!?! Ahhh ... it seems like yesterday when Craig and I hung that banner in the cafeteria. *sigh* The good old days. :)
They all look wonderful. I'm glad I'm not the only crazy Mom carving pumpkins solo. Good job Melissa & kids they look great.
