Carving Pumpkins

The older kids always love carving pumpkins, but this time Hudson got into it...for a little while. He loved the idea but he was pretty annoyed at the fact that he wasn't going to get to use the knife. We gave him this little tool that came in the pumpkin carving kit and it was slightly sharp. He kept poking the back side of Jaxon pumpkin with it which annoyed Jaxon. Kenna was about in tears because when she got the top off of her pumpkin it was rotten inside...I agree, huge bummer, But so was daddies, so that made her feel better. =) No one really wanted to scrape out the rotten insides of a pumpkin so Jay and I did it. Of course Jay doesn't like to do it even when its not rotten, so you can imagine how much fun he was having with the nasty slime this time! I helped Hudson draw his face, but Jaxon & Kenna drew their own. Kenna chose to make teeth on her pumpkin to resemble her own teeth and gave hers a square nose just because everyone else was doing triangle noses (so creative). Jaxon's looks pretty much the same as last year. =) But the products turned out well. And they even have names. Kenna's is Fred & Jaxon's is Bob. (I don't know why).

When it was time to light the pumpkins (the best part) Hudson decided he didn't like his anymore cause it was on fire.From left to right: Bob & Fred
