PUMPKIN CARVING TIME

Its that time again...Carving time! Last night we got together with our good friends Steve and Bri and carved some pumpkins. We got one for each girl, one for Justin and I to share and then one for Bri and Steve. For the last two years Chelsey has helped out cleaning the pumpkins. She absolutely loves to squish the guts between her fingers. I know crazy right! Because we all know how GIRLY Chelsey is. Doesn't seem to fit her normal behavior. But she loves it. Well this year we told Kylee and Issy they had to help out. Ky doesn't like it that much. She stuck it out for awhile and picked out the seeds for me, but gave up soon after. Issy was the funniest. She would put her hand in there and grab very fast and then shake it off her hand. The whole time saying "sticky, icky" then she would slowly put her hand in again and yank it out fast. She actually did most of the work. I was quite impressed. After all the pumpkins were gutted we turn them over to Justin to instruct him on how we want them carved. Each one of the girls tell him how he wants theirs done, and he tries very hard to accomadate them.

We had a mishap though on Issy's. She pulled out the eyes for her pumpkin. So now its one big cyclops..lol. Oh well. Maybe that is what she wanted to begin with. So while the Men (Justin and Steve) carved the pumpkins, I cooked dinner, and Bri cleaned the seeds so that I could bake them.

SO now we have some cute, festive pumpkins sitting out on our porch to celebrate Halloween. Here is a couple of pics from the event.


Kylee cleaning out her pumpkin. She is about to flick those seeds on Justin...lol. Some actually ended up inside his shirt pocket.

Chelsey and Issy starting to work on Chelsey's pumpkin. I believe Justin was just cutting out Issy's lid for her.

The boys hard at work.
