Guess what we almost forgot?

Well tonight at 815 I realize we have forgotten on of the main traditional Halloween activities...

Yep...we forgot to carve pumpkins. We did buy pumpkins two Saturdays ago and since then the boys have asked daily when we will carve them, but stopped asking on Monday. So we forgot too.

After a quick discussion about how I didn't want to carve pumpkins but how I would feel guilty for the rest of the time the pumpkins lived on our porch we started carving at 830 tonight. Luckily since we live in Vegas, tomorrow is Nevada Day so we don't have school. After 45 minutes we have finished the pumpkins....it has to be a world record.

Chad cut them open, I got all the guts out and the boys started hammering....

Yes Hammering....you see when Kaden was little like 18 months or so he was so disappointed that he couldn't carve the pumpkin and it was just not fun for a baby. The next year we discovered these things that are like light brights (remember those?). You hammer in the lights and than put a small flashlight on the inside and it is easy, cute and they get to do it themselves.

Last year they each got two pumpkins, this year they each got one and one for Chad. So they decided Chad would carve Mickey Mouse into his and the boys would hammer theirs.

So here is the process....

Here is E's

Did you guess it is Wall-E?

K's will be a disco ball

He always gives up and does what he calls a "Carzy design"

But he is still hammering away so his picture will come tomorrow.

And Chad's in the dark and light....
