Pumpkin Carving Creations

Last night we went over to the Wolsey's for dinner and pumpkin carving.  Last year Camilla slept through pumpkin carving, so it was fun for her this year. She is such a girl though and would not get her fingers gooey at first. No matter how much fun we told her it was, she hesitated and would just make sound effects as she popped her hand in and out of the pumpkin without touching anything.

Finally, Daddy scooped some pumpkin guts onto her hand. The strings and seeds were cool at first, but soon followed by a request to wash her hands. Maybe next year she'll get into it.

Hyrum was all boy. He sat in the middle of the table ripping newspaper and trying to get his fingers on some pumpkin guts. At one point I'm pretty sure his hands made it to his mouth. Pumpkin is healthy right?

Taylor spoiled Camilla with a treat, and then she went hunting in the pantry for another one. We all chuckled as Taylor guided her to the Halloween treats on the second shelf. Mr. Stannix spent the evening perfecting his pumpkin. It looked pretty cool! Camilla called it cute, I thought it looked perfectly scary!

Jessica roasted up the pumpkin seeds with oil and salt. They were delish. This was my first time ever doing that. 

Jessica and Taylor made an awesome Owl pumpkin. We had a blast with them. We are so blessed to have such wonderful friends.

Then it was time for the moment of truth. The pumpkins were lit and brought out to the front step. They looked SO GOOD all lit up on the step. I love Halloween! Sadly, I'm still trying to come up with costume ideas for the kiddos on Monday. Hopefully something great pops into my mind soon! We're running out of time.
