As tradition each year we carved some pumpkins just in time for Halloween. This year we actually did it more then a day before Halloween which is impressive for our family.
Neal picked out a fairly large pumpkin this year and was really excited to carve it with daddy. His excitement changed a bit once he realized that it was "gooey" and "sticky" inside the pumpkin. Neal didn't want to get his hands "sticky" so he let Tyler do all the scooping out and would just every once in awhile stick his hand inside the pumpkin to pull out a seed that was easy to reach without getting to "sticky".
We had a fun time carving "spooky faces" into the pumpkins and loved that Aunt Kate could join us for our fun pumpkin carving evening. The best part is always lighting the candles inside and seeing the faces glow.
The next day Neal and I continued our pumpkin crafts by painting some small pumpkins. Neal loved using every color possible and had so many stories to tell me about what he was painting. By the end of this craft there was almost as much paint on Neal's hands and arms as on his pumpkin.
We are now all ready for fall and ready to welcome the Trick-or-Treaters to our house with our glowing "spooky faced" pumpkins.
