Carving {2011}

This year carving had to work out a little differently. We had planned on doing it Sunday afternoon, because after all, Halloween was Monday. Buuuut, my home town had to go and change trick-or-treating due to football play offs, so we had to move it. Unfortunately, Melia was busy on Friday and couldn't come to the party. It was just not the same. :(

Well, we made do, and did the best we could. :)

Actually, it was E's first time carving. Last year, poor baby, had double ear infection, and was CRABBY, with a capital C! This year he was enjoying it a little more.

In fact, he loved sticking his hands and arms up to the shoulder into the pumpkin guts. It was so fun! He did, however, try to eat an uncooked pumpkin seed. Sick, E!




Eli, my mom, and I had to really talk Leo into getting his hands dirty and touching the guts. It took a lot of talking and bribing and talking and threatening.



But, he did it! And, he loved it! (Who says threatening doesn't work?!?)



Another change this year, Justin didn't touch one single pumpkin. Not one! He said he's lost his will to carve. How sad. :(

Here is a look at our finished products!



I think they turned out fun. :)

And some crazy monster found her way into the picture...hmmm... ;)
