Pumpkin Carving

As is our usual tradition we carved pumpkins the night before Halloween.  We were a little rushed with Lily having dance that afternoon and having to squeeze in dinner before getting ready for bed.  But we carved one and had fun decorating 3 others.  (We did a Kitty pumpkin, but the paint had to try and we didn't finish it until the next day)  Chip isn't the biggest fan of pumpkin carving, so I am SO happy and excited that Lily has embraced it as she gets older and loves it.  Now I finally have someone to share in my holiday traditions with!

Decorating her Princess Pumpkin

Ta Da!

Dani wanted in on the action.

Starting to carve.  Lily insisted on carving it all by herself and she did about 97% of the whole thing.  She came up with the design and everything.  I was so proud of her!!

She wasn't too fond of cleaning it out -- It smelled too bad for her.  So I did all of that.

Letting Dani check out the pumpkin guts.  I tried to get her to eat some, but she wasn't interested.

Her tongue is out in concentration.

Danielle got her own Elmo pumpkin!

I LOVE my weird, crazy perfect little family!
