Carving Pumpkins!

It's always an adventure with these kids when it comes to doing things together! This time it was carving pumpkins!!! Caders was so excited!!!!!!


Ski helped everyone cut the tops of them off so they could scoop out all the cuts!! Lets not talk about his skin head haircut. I'm not a big fan but if anyone knows my husband, looking ridiculous is better (to him) then spending $44 a month so get a high and tight each week.


Matt and Jacqui did a really good job cleaning out their pumpkins. There were a few "disgusted" faces here and there though.




As Cadence started to dig in, she really wasn't sure this was the job for her!

But she dug right in and gave it a try!!!

Once her hand got all slimy she was sure this wasn't the job for her!!!!


Next thing you know she had disappeared, leaving a pumpkin full of guts!!!!


She knew her daddy would come to her rescue and help her out!!!

She couldn't wait to wash those little hands!!! I think she washes her hands like 5 times a day!


"Uh Dad, I know I left this entire project up to you, but you better do a good job!!!" She decided she'd supervise him!


The messy kitchen!


The finished products after they carved them. Matt and Jacqui both carved Cadence's pumpkin - plus their own. They did really good.


You knew Scooby Doo would find his way into Halloween somehow! Cadence is obsessed with him!

Carving pumpkins!

To my surprise, the kids didn't have school today...so we decided to carve pumpkins while Ski was at work. This way when there was a mess all over the entire kitchen, he wouldn't want to crawl out of his skin before it was cleaned up. After being married to someone for a while, you learn little tricks about keeping them from going crazy. This is one of them.

My daughter never over exaggerates situations.

Cadence thinks we have all gone completely crazy - and needed paper towel for her hands every few minutes!

Matt - well he's just Matt. He loves to make a mess.

It's pretty cool how I look like such a professional pumpkin carver in this picture!

The finished products
Only my kids find it necessary to pose with their pumpkins!!!!
