Our First Pumpkin Carving Experience

We went to carve our three pumpkins tonight and two of them were rotten. I picked one up and the stem came off and underneath was mold - gross! Thankfully, we had one pumpkin that was "carvable" because we had been telling the boys all through dinner we were going to carve a pumpkin.

Steve did all of the hard work using a pumpkin carving templates. He was literally sweating within 10 minutes of it.  It's a good thing he chose an "easy" pattern.

This kid will eat anything.

The boys quickly got bored watching daddy so I let them decorate their little pumpkins. 

Trevor was pretty proud of his pumpkin.

They had a lot of fun doing this...until Ethan poked himself in the eye.

Trevor became pretty interested in the pumpkin carving.

However, that was nothing compared to how interested him and Ethan were when daddy was finished and lit the candle.

This is definitely a tradition we'll have to start!
