Carving Pumpkins

Last year we didn't get to carve pumpkins. Derek was living in Illinois, while I was trying to sell our house. The day before Halloween the kids & I were on our way home to carve pumpkins & the realtor called & asked if we could show our home. So instead of carving pumpkins we ended up driving around waiting FOREVER for this family to leave. It all worked out in the end though because they ended up buying our home. This year I was not going to let pumpkin carving escape us again. (Mainly because the kids were so sad about not being able to do it last year.) We all had a great time, except for the part where you have to reach your hand into the slimy pumpkin & get all the guts out. This was so disgusting to Abby & Lindsey. We were so proud of Abby & Gray, because they were able to carve their own pumpkins this year. Good Job Peeps!! Derek was especially proud of his pumpkin this year. He drew on a spider & a spider web. This was pretty intricate & took A LOT of time to carve.
