Pumpkins

Pumpkin carving was more entertaining this year since the twins actually got a little bit into it. They liked gutting them and helped me pick out what to carve in them. Zaden liked watching me carve his as well. This was the first year Caleb actually wanted to do a pattern too and learned how to transfer on the pattern and even cared out a few of the sections on his own before he handed the rest over to Mom. I ended up carving 5 pumpkins that night. But luckily they went fast and it was helped along by the pumpkin shaped pizza we got from Papa Murphy's to go along with the theme. Here's some carving/gutting fun pics.

And here are the results. From left to right. Owl (Zaden), "Hi" (Faith), spider (Caleb), Sugar Skull (Becca) and ghost (Zaric). Faith has been making some little noises lately that sound like she's telling us, "hi" and it makes us giggle so Caleb thought that would be fun to put in her pumpkin.

Of course Mike had to blow all of our skills out of the water and do something a little more elaborate with his........Show Off!
