Carving Pumpkins

This year, since the pumpkins didn't last from the pumpkin patch, we went to Smiths and got some huge pumpkins and carved them on Sunday. The boys had so much fun picking their pumpkins, and helping gut them out, picking out their jack-o-lantern design and playing with the lights that go in the pumpkins.

And I am most excited about the pumpkin seeds!

Carving Pumpkins

The Monday before Halloween we had FHE and carved Pumpkins.  I don't have any fun pictures, just these two of as starting to carve.  I didn't even take one of the after. BOO. But we did it this year! YAY!

Carving Pumpkins 2012

This year was kind of CRAPPY for pumpkin carving.  First, I was sick last weekend so we couldn't go to the pumpkin patch :(.  So Monday on my lunch break I went to Harmons and picked up 4 pumpkins.  Mike got home from work late so we didn't start until 7.  Gavin again didn't want to help {because he didn't want to get his hands dirty} and Greyson was all about getting in everyones business and helping in anyway he can. In the meantime, the boys start getting cranky.  So I bathe them and we put them to bed.  Mike and I cut, gut, stencil, and carve all four pumpkins {one is just a disco ball} right before Mike goes to throw up!  And two of the pumpkins were rotted out and disgusting!  At least we can say we did it and they are done.  The boys loved them the next day!

Here is what we carved this year! ANGRY BIRDS! Hope you like them, we sure do.

Pumpkin Patch

We went to the Pumpkin Patch this year for our Pumkins! Gavin had the best time walking aroung and looking at all the pumkins. He also like the fact that he wasn't couped up and could wander. The owners also gave the boys a Hayride on the tractor. Gavin wasn't so sure at first when I didn't get on, but half way through, after dad promised that mom would be right back, he loved it! We got ourselves some Pumpkin winners this year! Say tuned for Pumpkin Carving!

Pumpkin Carvin'

Last night my very computer savvy brother came out & fixed my SD Card reader, so I can now FINALLY blog & post pictures. Stay tuned for LOTS of posts. & don't forget to check out some posts below that now have pictures.

Now for some Pumpkin Carving time. The day before (Utah) Halloween we went & got us some pumpkins to carve. Gavin was NOT about the guts inside & really wanted nothing to do with the pumpkins after we started cutting them up. Mike still had his splint on his thumb so I scooped out the guts & he carved them for us, all while we watched "The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown." Our pumpkins turned out really well if I do say so myself. Check out the pictures. Maybe next year Gavin will be more into it?
