It's That Time of Year Again!

Here we are once again carving our pumpkins on Halloween Eve. I enjoy carving pumpkins so much more now that my kids are big enough to do it themselves! I might help draw the faces/ pictures on but other than that they're on their own. This year Amanda's friend, Isabella, came over to carve with us and we all had a lot of fun.
Such a beautiful little pumpkin carver. This year Amanda decided to put a peace sign on her pumpkin and it turned out so cool!

The pumpkins we had this year were filled to the brim with icky, slimy strings that took forever to scrap out.

Austin was such a nice guy, he finished cleaning his own pumpkin, then helped all the girls scrap out theirs. He doesn't look the least bit put out, does he? Just kidding, he was just being a goof ball!
This was Isabella's first time carving her own pumpkin (her brother usually helps her) and the Pumpkin Squad gave her lots of pointers.

Every year we wash the seeds, sprinkle them with seasoning salt and bake them in the oven. They seemed to turn out especially good this year.

The Pumpkins weren't bad either!
