Carving Pumpkins

Cute Bailey!

EEWWWW! Gross!!

Bailey wanted her pumpkin to look like a pumpkin, so she and I worked our magical knife skills and created the best looking pumpkin puppy ever! She said that next year she wants it to look like a cat, tiger, or penguin. Maybe we'll let her parents be the force behind that creation. :)

We got done with Bailey's pumpkin before anyone else was done (she was smart and chose a small pumpkin) and she didn't want to be done, so she dug in to help Mason.

My Dad always carves the coolest pumpkins. He had already carved his own pumpkin to take to school for his students, so Thursday night he was working on my mom's pumpkin.

Emma was quite proud of her creation.

Where's my mom during all this excitement??? Working on her Sudoku!

Mason and Taylor concentrating (I've never heard the house so quiet with them there).

This was a first for Taylor, she had never carved a pumpkin before. That would explain the..... uniqueness of her pumpkin.

Thursday October 30th I got to spend the evening with my cousin Bailey. We took Bailey's pumpkin with us out to my parents so we could join them as they carved pumpkins. I left my pumpkin at home because I hate carving pumpkins. It's so slimy and smelly and it turns your fingers orange and the yuckyness gets under your fingernails. YUCK! I would help Bailey by scraping the side of the pumpkin, but then I would tell her to stick her hand in there and get it out. She finally asked, "Sarah, why am I the only one who has to put my hand in there?" "Because it's your pumpkin. :)" We had a lot of fun.
