Pumpkins round one and two!

When Justin was a kid, his Grandparents had a tradition, before Halloween, they would pick up the grandkids and take them all to pick out pumpkins, then back to their house for dinner and pumpkin carving, followed by some homemade hot chocolate! Well years have passed and now the grandkids have kids of their own! So thia week, Justin's Mom, (who is the Grandma now) took the kids to pick out pumpkins. Then we all gathered for lasagna and a carving session at (Great) Grandma & Grandpa's house. Unfortunately Justin had to work, but Wyatt and I had a great time. Wyatt discovered that once I had scooped the guts out of his pumpkin, his cup fit nicely inside, so in and out went that 50 times. The end result was a nice classic pumpkin face, my specialty! Wyatt was pretty certain though when I put his on the kitchen floor, that it was a ball and seemed quite surprised by the weight of it!

Saturday night we had Josh & Misty, Audrey and Chris over to carve some again at our house so Justin could be there. We had some good results and as you can see we aren't the most creative bunch with the exception of Josh & Justin's pumpkins. Wyatt had the bright idea to tase the guts, and apparently didn't find the taste too bad because more then a few times I looked at him to find a string of pumpkins guts hanging out of his mouth! All in all it was a fun night and they are now proudly displayed on our front porch!
