Annual Pumpkin Carving

Yesterday after school, I took Christopher to pick out another pumpkin, since his other pumpkin was stolen. He thought it was pretty cool because his new pumpkin is much bigger than his old one.

Before Shaun got home, we started getting the pumpkins ready. We cut the top and emptied out the "seeds and ikky gook"--that's what Anneli called it!

Then we baked the pumpkin seeds. The kids LOVED them!

When Daddy came home he helped them cut out the faces they drew on their pumpkins.

Here are their pumpkins glowing. Be sure to check out Anneli's Pumpkin below...**

Carving pumpkins together is always such a fun time and a great family memory!

LOVE Anneli's pumpkin..such a girlie girl! What a great family tradition. I remember as a kid doing exactly the same thing. Maybe next year I will carve with my kiddos!
