Monday night was reserved for pumpkin carving at our house. We had a great time. I mean honestly what is better than digging out slime and sticky seeds all night long. It's a great tradition and we just had a blast. In fact I've been thinking about FHE and how we can make it more enjoyable. So I totally branched out and turned on some festive Halloween music (thanks to Pandora). Well once the night was over Alayna expressed how much fun this FHE was. Once again, I'm realizing to loosen up and Enjoy the Journey!
I love this picture because this was BEFORE Caleb learned what was required of carving pumpkins....
Jake enjoyed every minute of it.
Seriously, what a dramatic kid! He was MISERABLE. He kept saying, "I won't put my hand in there! I won't!!!"
And then he helped himself to his favorite utensil lately...Butter Knifes...Yes, this child has something for them. I can't tell you how many times in a day I have to say, "Caleb, take the (butter) knives out of your pants, pockets...go put them back in the drawer!" AHHH Seriously this kid is unbelievable. Anyways, once he was using those knives he was back to having an enjoyable time.
Happy Halloween Pumpkin Carver
The knives...or "My Swords!" As he calls them.
The slime...
More slime...
Jared doing some awesome faces for the kids.
Caleb is rocking out to some Family Halloween Pandora...
Finished products...Calebs pumpkin. He insisted his pumpkin had a smile on it...He said that way he won't have bad dreams anymore.
It was pretty fun taking some ghost looking pictures with the kids.
Caleb 2012 - funny thing is that Caleb kept whacking at his pumpkin with the butter knives on the outside. I kept telling him to stop because it would ruin his pumpkin...well, note to self it made for the greatest overall glowing pumpkin ever. It really was super cool. I mean look at the difference of his pumpkin and the other kids. It was awesome! (The above picture shows it the very best)
