The finished products

My mom and I carved pumpkins on Wednesday night for Halloween. Chris did the dirty work of getting us started by cutting the lids off and being on diaper duty with the little guy. We managed to get three pumpkins done and we were pretty impressed with our work! Ben wasn't too sure about pumpkin "guts" but seemed to enjoy playing with the pumpkin scooper tool after it was cleaned off. Bella had a little snack of pumpkin when we weren't watching her and Gaby did a good job of supervising our work.

I will be out of town at Penn State and Indiana for Halloween. Ben is having a Halloween party at daycare tomorrow and then he'll do a little Trick-or-Treating with Dad in the nieghborhood. Grandma Sharon is in town for 2 weeks and will be on candy duty at our house. We'll put his costume pictures up this weekend! BOO!!
