Pumpkin Carvin

Tonight we carved pumpkins. Tony left for work about 6:30 and the kids and I got down to business. The kids had 2 pumpkins each this year. Which means more goop for me!

Gracie actually enjoys the goop now. Here she is digging in...

TJ on the other hand can't stand the stuff. He has an intense gag reflex and was gagging the whole time I was trying to take pictures. Just check out the look on his face.

He finally decided that maybe covering his eyes would help.

So Gracie dug in clear to her elbows,

and TJ decided the scoop made it semi manageable.
Soon he'd had enough and I ended up cleaning out his 2 pumpkins and "helping" him carve them. Like on the help...on his part. lol It took us 1 1/2 hours, but we finished 4 pumpkins. Here is Gracie and her two that she did all by herself. The one on the left is a cat and the other is a face.
And here are TJ's two. A cross bones pirate and howling wolves.


Here they are on our porch.
And here are just a bunch of shots, trying to get a good one. Some were so cute, I couldn't delete them. Interesting how the light goes cooky in pictures.
