Pumpkins


My kids LOVE pumpkins.  Not just because it's fun and they get to carve them.  Their love goes deeper than that.  They name them and play with them and sleep with them.   They develop quite the relationship with their pumpkins.


Sierra went artistic this year and made a witch flying over a full moon.  It was amazing!




 This is Skyla's vampire pumpkin.  It was the thickest, hardest pumpkin I have ever tried to cut. 



 Yes, I am allowing my 5 year old to yield a knife.  He designed, carved, named, and decorated his pumpkin by himself.  He had the time of his life.  And still has 10 fingers.  Thank goodness!

My little pumpkins!
Now we're just waiting for the moose to come and enjoy them!

I am SO ASHAMED at my mothering when I read this post! You don't sound exasperated about carving pumpkins at all! How is that? Do your kids know how lucky they are to have you? If they don't, they can ask my kids about pumpkin carving at our house and all of its accompanying expletives... There may have been some crying too. Shame on me! I know!

I love Skyla's!

Now I know why Karsten was so upset with Halloween. He got a haircut. LOL He looks so handsome.
