One of our favorite traditions for the Halloween season is carving pumpkins. The new carving kits these days make it so much more fun for us and the kids. It is way better than just stabbing a poor pumpkin with a steak knife. This year all the kids, with the exception of Jacob, of course, carved their very own pumpkin! It worked out perfectly because Greg's mom, Cherrie, and her husband Jim were still here for Family Home Evening (to learn more about Family Home Evening, click here http://www.lds.org/hf/fhe/welcome/0,16785,4210-1,00.html) when we carved them. Greg worked with Anna, Jim worked with Lizzy, Cherrie was ever patient with Ben, and I helped Adam, after I got Jacob down for the night. The kids were so proud of themselves. They scooped, they carved, they triumphed. It was tons of fun. Personally, I think this is way more fun than letting them paint their own pumpkin, like we have done in years past. Here are some scooping pictures.
I think Adam likes getting crazy with the pumpkin goup almost more than any other part.
Ben gingerly scooping out the pumpkin. Doesn't he have a great cheesy smile?!
Anna, not enjoying the pumpkin guts. Greg's just messing around.
Lizzy and Jim working together.
Once again, I must reveal my true identity. It is I, the wife and mother. Give no heed to what blogger says about the matter.

Tammy, I am so happy your life is setting into the new "normal" and you are able to blog again. Great pictures...so those little knives they sell really work hu? Maybe we'll have to try them out next year!
By the way, I had so much fun today! Thanks again for hosting all of us, you're great!
