Pumpkin Carving

Saturday I carved pumpkins with my boys.  We enjoyed a lot of time together over the weekend.  Sometimes it is nice to focus on one child and give them the special attention they need.  I felt the urge to do that with the boys.  We carved pumpkins, and got all hyped up and ready to go the The Haunted Farm at Forest park petting zoo.  The ad said ages 8 and up- but we got all of the way there and it was clearly way too scary for the boys.   Instead, we went candy shopping and purchased a lifetime supply and some hot chocolate to go. :)  It was nice to spend time with the boys.
Aiden was happy to wear his costume at the store.

Ethan carved his by himself last year for the first time.  He is really good at taking an idea, drawing it on and actually making it work as a carving.  He even scooped his own goop.

Here is his masterpiece- a fiery skull!

Aiden wanted a creepy smile on his.  He drew a picture of what he wanted me to carve.

I carved mine to be scared of the other jack-o-lanterns.  Aiden got a kick out of that!

We have been enjoying dry weather here in Washington- the kids have enjoyed playing in the leaves!  Adam and I managed to get some yard work done yesterday and the leaves were mowed up, so we might take a walk down the street to see the giant tree in it's Autumn glory.  I am excited to show the kids the GIANT treasure trove of leaves it drops every year.  They are perfect for playing in.
