Last night we finally carved our Halloween Pumpkins. I've seen a lot of crushed pumpkins in the street lately so we decided to carve them just before Halloween and bring them in at night. That's too bad that a few people can ruin it for so many. I didn't want to have to deal with crying little boys over smashed pumpkins.
When Alex and I picked out pumpkins yesterday, he said that the other pumpkins were too big so we asked to take these small pumpkins from the store's display. Alex was thrilled because he could lift them all by himself. The boys decorated them with markers because the pumpkins were too small to carve. They had a lot of fun and their hands were covered with color from the markers.
James is fantastic at carving pumpkins and he always chooses designs that take a lot of patience. He carved a haunted castle. As you can tell from the next picture, I went the more simple route. I think they turned out great.
Happy Halloween, from the Petersons!
