Carving Pumpkins

I love how every year when we carve pumpkins getting all the seeds out is quite an experience. There is a constant Ewwww and Yuuuuck coming from the girls. Aliza was especially grossed out by the glop inside. She finally politely asked if we could just do it for her.

It is a yucky mess, but Micah makes us toasted pumpkin seeds which makes all the digging and yucky hands worth while.

Abbie was insistent that we take a pumpkin head picture. Very nice!

This is Aliza trying to smile like her pumpkin. She told Micah she wanted a happy pumpkin with triangle eyes. Unfortunately with the triangle shape eyes he doesn't look so happy. We just won't tell her that.

The final product is always fun to test out with all the lights off in the house. They did a great job carving their pumpkins! Yeah for the yummy toasted pumpkin seeds!

Cute pumpkins, I won't say anything to Lizzie about her not-happy pumpkin although I agree the triangle eyes did it in! Hilarious about all the costume changes, especially since Avery's came out of nowhere at the end it seems.

I love Aliza's smile.
