Family Home Evening Fun

Tonight we decided to carve pumpkins as a family. We went to the Internet to find some help and we found carving for dummies.....

The kids love this time of the year. Regan found his pumpkin on his field trip and Braydin and Paige got their's from the pumpkin patch of Wal-Mart...


Kevin got the tops of them taken off and then its was off to work for the kids, a little digging and scrapping is all it took..



even Paige got her hand dirty..




They each got to choose a design and then we went a carving!



Braydin made a Frankenstein face, he thought it was way cool

sorry for this is such a bad picture but Regan made a scary face that he loved.
Paige got a spider for her pumpkin, all eight legs made it through the great carve!
Here are all the Pumpkins lit and ready to go for Halloween!!!

Linds,
Cute blog! I am an official "blog hacker!" We just started one a couple of weeks ago, so I have to steal everyone's addresses off of the other ones! Cute pumpkins - I love that your little Paige looks like so much mischief! We miss you guys!

You have some talented children! So I guess the trick is to carve pumpkins outside! Maybe that is how you keep the mess from being strolled all over the house! I should try that next time. Assuming that we don't start at 8:30pm!
