Carving Pumpkis

I have to admit that in the beginning, carving pumpkins was a lot more work than it was fun. The kids thought the pumpkin guts were disgusting & their attention span lasted about 5 minutes. But now that they're older, they can carve them by themselves and they love to help the little ones with their's (Ok., obviously, some still find pumpkin guts disgusting). It was a beautiful fall afternoon, which made it even better, because we could carve in the back yard.

Ashlynn has outgrown the disgust over the pumpkin guts . . . .

but Kennedi has a few years to go, I guess.

Dallin and Peyton were pumpkin carving buddies. One of the great things about having six, is someone always has a buddy.

If this doesn't scare you, I don't know what would=),
