Carving pumpkins

We have four kids.  That means we “had” to buy four pumpkins.  Based on previous years’ experiences, I had a feeling there would be much excitement prior to carving pumpkins, but not as much when it came to actually cleaning out the pumpkin guts.  I was correct…times four.  *Sigh*

But like any committed mom, I took the silver serving spoon and scraped the pumpkin insides bare and dumped out the orange seedy contents onto the baking sheet on the table…times four.

Then I attempted to follow the drawn on lines of the pumpkin faces…times four.

After just over an hour, we had jack-o-lanterns for the Littles…times four.

And they couldn’t be happier…times four.

P.S. you’ll see Little #4’s pumpkin has two bottom teeth just like her 🙂

Just the girls

It’s a cool, misty morning and we had an unsuccessful trip to Menards, but none of that matters.  These two brighten my day 🙂

On my way home…very late. Or maybe it’s early? Glad to have some company at the office. He’s riding home in Little #1’s booster seat. Safety first.
