Pumpkin Carving...

Last Sunday we decided it was a perfect day to carve the pumpkins! Elsie was excited all day...and James had no clue what was going on, but he acted excited because his sister was excited!

 It was Daddy's job to cut the tops off the pumpkins...

 Elsie is a typical girl and felt that the goo on the inside was really pretty gross...but she did a good job of cleaning her pumpkin out!

 James is a typical boy and just dove right into the pumpkin...he had pumpkin goo all over!  

 I love these next few pictures...the kids love to do everything together...James had his own pumpkin but he preferred to help Elsie with hers...

 Favorite picture of the evening...I asked everyone to smile...Jon and Elsie remained engrossed in carving those pumpkins...but James stood up, front and center and gave me a nice {and super fake} smile! Love that boy and his personality...

 Mommy's turn to carve...Elsie talked me into carving Hearts for her pumpkin's eyes!

 I am busy carving, James is sliding around on the little table and Elsie is sitting in a tote...interesting!

 Slime lover...

 Elsie approved of heart eyes...which is a good thing because carving hearts in a pumpkin with a dull little knife is not an easy task!

 We now have lovely carved pumpkins waiting by the front door to welcome any little trick-or-treaters who might stop by...and my little tick-or-treaters have their costumes and candy buckets all ready...Love the anticipation leading up to a special event!
