Pumpkins - Round One

My oldest misses the days when we used to carve pumpkins. It used to be a yearly tradition, but we haven't done it for awhile. As my husband and I grew closer to God, carving evil faces on pumpkins seemed unnecessary. Kim, however, promised that nothing evil would be carved. She even bought stencils of cute designs to put on the pumpkins. She bought pumpkins for all her sisters. Unfortunately, it was one of those weekends where things were crazy. One sis was in Michigan at a church camping trip. The other was with her grandma so she could spend time with her cousin.

Tasha was here. This year she really didn't want to carve pumpkins. She started to, but was grossed out by the whole mess. She ended up letting her friend carve her pumpkin.

Megan loved it!! She was digging in with both hands in everyone's pumpkins.

Because this was not begun until after nine at night, the carving lasted until after I went to bed. Needless to say, I haven't gotten pictures yet of finished projects. Plus, there are still other pumpkins to be done.

The kids had a good time. A HUGE mess was made, but I luckily didn't have to clean it up this time.
