Pumpkin Carving Day

We were going to go to the Pumpkin Patch today but we just couldn't do it without daddy. They have awesome pumpkin patches here with corn mazes to go through. We've never done anything like that before so we decided that we will wait until next weekend when daddy will be off and can go with us. So, today we went to King Soopers and bought some pumpkins there to bring home and decorate. And decorate we did! We busied ourselves with the pumpkin buying and snack making until daddy woke up and could join us.

These are our witches brooms. The kids and I have never made these before but we had so much fun making them...and licking our fingers....and eating them! Yum!

In fact, Jagger loved them so much that he decided to forgo what he thought was disgusting pumpkin guts to sit and eat them while we did the dirty work for him.

He did help with the drawing of the face.
We decided to paint our pumpkins after we cut them. We just couldn't let the fun end just yet!
My little tomboy was the only one that was not totally disgusted by the guts! You go girl!
Here are my three cuties with their awesome pumpkins. James was a little upset (see next picture).

My poor James was playing with his friend and his brother, chasing each other, and stubbed his toe. He ripped the end right off and it really hurt! He was very brave...he just couldn't muster a smile for the family pumpkin picture. My poor James!
