Carving

Since Darren is gone until the the end of November we did our pumpkin carving slightly early as a family. The kids had fun as always, but these pumpkins were HARD!!! I was literally using a hammer to get my knife into it! Darren even got out his drill and dremel to complete the job. But we got it done for another year!

Jake rolled my pumpkin off the table. It's face completely broke. I tried to fix it with toothpicks, but that only held for a few minutes. owell! ;)

Such CUTE, CUTE, CUTE Halloween Pictures. I think your pumpkin looks like a flying witch with the face gone. All the pics. were sooo cute. I especially likes Jake with the little gourds. The little gourds are so fasinating, even to me. So good to see you all.

way fun! love the pictures. and the pumpkins. too funny about having to use a drill, the pumpkins aren't even that big!
since you did them so early, they will be perfect "smashing" pumpkins for halloween! {better not upset your neighbors!HA!}

Guns or sticks, what's the difference? Boys will be boys. Paul Tucker wasn't allowed guns so he just made his own from sticks or whatever. I think a good mom just teaches respect, and YOU are a GOOD MOM!
