Pumpkin Time!

For family night we decided to carve pumpkins. We haven't made it to the pumpkin patch yet because our schedule is so crazy so we picked up a couple from Walmart this morning. Devan has an early day on Wednesday so we'll head to the patch then. But who wants to wait until the day before Halloween to carve their pumpkin?!
We had so much fun and I was surprised at how many times I heard, "Gross," "Ewe," "I don't want to touch the gooey stuff." Honestly? This coming from three little boys who have no problem sabotaging my kitchen with broken eggs, milk, mustard, anything gross or gooey they can find! In the end, they did help a lot and told me exactly what shapes to cut out. Devan was disappointed his didn't look angry enough. Sorry bud. Their favorite part was lighting a tealight inside. They were in such awe you'd think they had never seen a lit candle before. It was too funny. Greyson had fun playing in all the seeds and moosch. He decorated my dining room with all of it as well.

Cute! We'll probably carve our pumpkins tonight. Zerrin has already named them Thomas and Gordon because one is small and the other is big. :) Hope you're doing well. Have fun at the pumpkin patch on Wed.

Cute. That is to funny the boys were grossed out with the gooey part and didn't want to touch it. I just can't see the boys like that especially like you said with the way they mix all sorts of stuff in your kitchen. Too funny.
