We did our pumpkin carving this past Thursday evening. It was a long day at work and we didn't get home until 5:30 after picking up both Emma & Mikayla so I made a quick dinner of stew that we had in the freezer from the last time Karen made a batch. Then it was time to carve, get baths, and be completely done by 8pm so we could watch "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown." It was a busy evening but we got it all done and the kids had fun. TJ was a bit hesitant at first telling me, "I'm not doing it if it gets my hands dirty" whereas Emma was gung-ho to reach in and pull out gobs while yelling "pumpkin guts!!!" Lol. Different strokes, huh? Everyone got into it after a minute though and there was a competition to see who could get the biggest pile of guts out of their gourd. And all 3 of them had very distinct ideas as to how they wanted their pumpkins to look. Mikayla made a vampire, TJ drew a square face, and Emma wanted eyeballs and teeth on hers. I think they all turned out great!
