We can't let Halloween go by without carving some pumpkins. Parker kept bugging me every time we went to that store about getting a pumpkin to carve. Both Parker and Paige were really excited about it this year. We decided to carve them on a Saturday after Matt and Parker went golfing. Paige and I (and Paxten) went and got the pumpkins, picking out a special sized one for each member of the family. When the time came to carve, the kids had picked out designs that they wanted their pumpkin carved into and neither of them could physically carve their own pumpkin. Parker at least helped by gutting his pumpkin as well as mine. Paige just mostly watched while I carved hers and my own. Matt ended up doing Parker's and his. So after almost 2 hours of carving my hand was sore and I was tired of carving pumpkins. Poor Paxten didn't even end up getting a little face out of his pumpkin. Maybe next year. He didn't care, he was asleep most of the time! So here are our creations this year. Paige wanted the monster, Parker wanted the skeleton face, I did the haunted house, and Matt carved out Big Dad. It was going to say Big Daddy, but his letters got too big! It is a fun tradition to spend the evening together and to get into the spirit of Halloween.
