Pumpkin Carving

 Last night we finally found time to carve our pumpkins. Joel never got to carve his green one - it was mushy by the time we got around to carving them but he never once asked where his baby punkin went so our replacement worked well.  I bought a pumpkin carving kit and its really amazing for kids. They boys liked using their saw like tools and it really worked. 

 Joel had fun with the pumpkin seeds.

 When Joel was done with his pumpkin he went over to try to help Colin.
 Daddy told Joel that he had to work on his pumpkin and to let Colin do his own.  You can see what Joel thought about that.  ha! Colin worked hard at his pumpkin and it turned out great. 
 Still playing with the pumpkin seeds
  He was very proud of this.  He kept laughing at his pumpkin throwing up the seeds. And he's only 2.  haha but it made the rest of us laugh too. 
They turned out well.  Joel just likes to sing Happy Birthday and then blow out his candle.  Then ask to have it lit again.  Colin thought once you were done with your pumpkin you paraded it around the town.  Not sure where he got that but they are on our table right now.  We might eat our dinner by "pumpkin light" tonight since I just haven't gotten around to taking them outside.

I couldn't help but notice that Brent and I have the same wardrobe... well at least 3 of our tshirts: blue Cru. one, orange Cru one, and the maroon Snowridge one. I guess we both like living in our past lives. :) Boys look like they are having a blast. I especially love the Pirate and Super Hero pics. They are so creative. Oh and Baby is looking great :) Excited to meet him/her!

Wow! I was always nervous (or maybe it was Kerri) about letting the girls use sharp objects for carving pumpkins until they were much older. But those kits are great! Tape on the design, punch holes and start cutting.
