Punkin's and Pumpkins

Another one of our family traditions is pumpkin carving with my little punkins. We all go together to pick them out (if we don't grow enough that year in our pitiful little garden). Picking out is super fun and later, closer to Halloween, comes the carving mess!

Some kids love the pumpkin gick... This girls does! Even when she was a baby, Madi would laugh and dive into the guts of her pumpkin. She really got into it this year as usual.

Brooke loved being creative, but NOT the pumpkin guts!

My boys knew exactly what they wanted for faces! They sketched them out first on paper. I loved their creativity!

Madi's pumpkin had braces, piercings, and crazy hair!

Q did NOT want anything to do with the pumpkin guts! He freaked out when Madi tried to put his hand inside... and if any seed got on him, he would get upset. This kid makes me laugh!

Ben's was a pirate and Connor's was just happy to be there.

Brooke went for a bat.

And of course, the Picasso of Pumpkins carved a globe for his. Brett acts like pumpkin carving isn't his thing... but then he really gets into it and shows us all up. Nice work huh?
