Carving Pumpkins

Aaahh, Halloween is here! I love this holiday. It is so fun to carve pumpkins and dress up like something different - and lets not forget the best part - a reason to have an abnormal amount of Chocolate in the house. Today the kids carved their pumpkins. Ryleigh chose a ghost that says "BOO", Spencer chose the headless horseman and Ethan chose a spooky tree.






Obviously - Spencer was really not very excited about pulling the gooie insides out of the pumpkin! I had to document this. We were laughing so hard because he was already freaking out before I even cut off the top. After he had put his hands down in the goo a few times he was fine - and actually enjoyed it. Ethan on the other hand, was actually gagging as he was pulling the stuff out but he had a smile on his face! I was totally impressed with Ryleigh this year because she did the whole thing by herself - this is a first for her. She did such a great job too! I love kids!



The finished product!

Love Spencer's reaction. As we were carving pumpkins this year I was remembering how we were cutting them with your fam last year (minus Jen) good times.

OK, so this reminds me so much of past Halloweens--many years ago. Ethan is so his dad if he was gagging just at the thought of it. (His dad threw up at an airshow when he thought about the way it affects pilots.) And Spencer, your Aunt Mikaela feels the same way you do about squishy things. Ryleigh you take after at least Aunt Nicole. She was always much more thrilled and capable at carving pumpkins than me.
