Pumpkin Carving 2010

Here are some pictures from our fun afternoon of carving pumpkins. Since the boys are older, I actually had to help more since they all wanted them done at the same time. So - not as many pictures because Dave and I were up to our elbows in pumpkin guts most of the time. But it was great!

This year Dave had the great idea to line our kitchen table with plastic - it was secured underneath and didn't move - much better than trying to keep paper from sliding on the floor. Other than a few stray seeds, clean up was a breeze! And the boys loved it because they got to stand on chairs at the table!!!

Here are some pictures of the fun...


And the finished pumpkins! We had some pattern faces left, and the boys enjoyed picking out their own eyes, noses and mouths. It was fun to see what they picked.


Gotta see them in the dark!!! Dave had them all lit when the boys came down from their bath that night - they loved seeing them in the dark! I love the boys in their pj's! As my dad always says "all clean, smell good, baby boys!" (I just wouldn't say baby to these boys...they are very clear that they are NOT babies!!!) :)


It was a great day! Dave and I both agreed that it was the easiest pumpkin carving session yet! They were all patient, they all tried to clean out their pumpkin, they took turns - no yelling, no crying - beautiful!!!
