Pumpkins!

Well there is nothing like waiting 2 days before Halloween to carve pumpkins! Travis left for band, I put Brynley to bed. Definitely easier without little hands to "help" maybe next year we will let her join in the fun.
Our neighbor grew a bunch of pumpkins and let the kids some over and pick one so we didn't have to buy them!


This year they were more willing to gut their own pumpkins! I scrapped down the walls and they had to dig them out.


This kid is not a fan of dirty hands. I think he was making the "Are you serious" face! 


Madison avoided using her hands and opted for a spoon! She did dig in once with her hands, yelled and proclaimed how gross it was, and ran to wash her hands!


She was pretty proud of doing it by herself this year!


There was some debate on what to carve. I wasn't in the mood for elaborate designs, I wanted to be done and they needed to go to bed.



Since Brynley is a cat this year for Halloween, I turned her pumpkin into a cat! The kids kept asking me if the ears were the eyebrows! 


All lit up and ready for the porch! Zachary's little pumpkin was really thin, so the whole thing glows!! Madison said it looked like a lantern!

Tomorrow is the big day! I will post pictures probably on Thursday! The girls costumes are AWESOME! And Zach's is pretty cool too.

Bailey was pretty excited to see those on the porch this morning when we walked up. Very cute!
