Pumpkin Carving

 This year each boy picked had a pumpkin to carve!

Charlie wanted a "happy-faced" pumpkin.  He helped draw the face and even scraped quite a bit of the seeds.

Joey wanted a "happy, scary" and toothy faced jack-o-lantern.  He enjoyed the night for about 5 minutes and then spent the rest of the time mad he couldn't play with the sharp knives.  Oh Joey...

Tony is the pumpkin carving master.  The insides of his pumpkins are incredibly clean.  Mine are the opposite so he usually finishes mine for me! I'm going to be totally honest here and say that I really don't like carving pumpkins.  I never have.  It's messy and I'm not creative when it comes to the carving.  One of these years I'm going to paint my pumpkin.  However, carving pumpkins is just one of those things you HAVE to do with kids!  Thank goodness the boys have Tony, right? :)

All lit up!  Joey's pumpkin has the long smile and he drew that himself!  So cute!
