Halloween faces on Pumpkins


Can we carve pumpkins now?


OMG I think that is a picture of me with Audrey....unbelievable!

Last night we sat down to carve pumpkins with Audrey and we tried to tell her they were call JackOLanterns once they had faces on them......she really did not like that idea and said they were pumpkins with faces that we will light up with candles. I had her tell me what she wanted on her pumpkin and then I cut it out for her. She got to gut it and loved doing so. She said the guts were soft and smelled good. She even liked eating the raw pumpkin. Bizarre child. Anyhow she had a great time carving the pumpkin. She wanted silly eyes like her silly pet stickers (her favorite stickers right now) and a funny nose, with a big mouth. Here is what I was able to do for her.
After I got hers carved, I carved another one representative of her. I was very pleased with the end results. I did however later scrap the bow down so you could actually see it when it is lit up. I will post newer pictures after I get the big pumpkin carved. I hope you all have enjoyed our great pumpkin carving, as much as we did.

So sorry I haven't been keeping up with your blog. Heck, I barely get mine updated these days! I'm glad to see you (and Brent) are doing better! Don't hesitate to call me if you need anything at all - even if it's been a bit since we've last talked. That's what friends are for ;)

I love the pumpkins! They are adorable! Audrey is getting so big. I can't believe she is 3 (another apology for missing her b-day)! Man how they grow literally right before our eyes!

Have a great week and a wonderful Halloween!

LOL. Very bizarre child. I don't know anyone that likes the smell of raw pumpkin-or the taste of it! She sure has a great grin! Must be fun squishing around in pumpkin guts.
Those are awesome pumpkins!
