Carving Pumpkins

We have been so busy lately we haven't gotten around to doing the pumpkin carving thing. Well, we pretty much ran out of time. Today was the last day to get it done. It is Nevada day so the boys have no school but John still had to work so it was me driving around from store to store searching for pumpkins. We finally found some and we went home and carved them. I'm not gonna lie, helping 4 kids carve pumpkins by myself is not a super fun thing to do. By the time I was finished I was sweating, the baby was covered in 2 colors of permanent marker, and there were seeds everywhere. Here are pics of each kid with their pumpkin. I especially love mine. By the time I finished theirs, the thought of starting the process all over again made me want to hurl so I decided it was awesome just the way it was........

You are my hero, I don't think I would have or could have done 4 pumpkins by myslef!!! Here's how our halloween pumpkin carving went down- family night, then mom's going for a walk and dad is going to get the pumpkin cut open and scooped out for mom. I get home, the pumpkin is still sitting untouched on the table. Awesome. So I cut it open and clean it and tell Shawn he is to "help" carve it...so mom carves the whole thing with Peyton throwing seeds and guts everywhere while dad "helps" by laying on the couch watching football...whoever said carving pumpkins was fun???

I love the scribbles! You're boys are sa-dang cute!

And in answer to your question, my mom made that apron. We saw some way cute one's at "The Cupcakery" (by red robin) and they were SO expensive so she surprised us and made aprons for all the girls (even grandkids) for Christmas. She makes them for people who ask her to, but I'm not sure what she charges. If you're intersted, I could get more info. I don't think they're way cheap because the cuter fabrics are more expensive. Anyway, let me know.

P.S. I'm totally obsessed with pink too!!!

It's never too late to carve a pumpkin (that's what my grandma-ma always said). In fact, this year I'm tempted to buy a half dozen and keep them frozen so the pumpkin carving can still take place in April! There's nothing like an April Jack-o-lantern.
