Pumpkins

This year was our first year to carve pumpkins.  In the past few years it just seem too much to even think about carving pumpkins with 3 young children.  The kids were really excited and weren't really sure what to expect.  At first they didn't like the smell of the pumpkins and the slimy stringy stuff inside.  Eventually they got use to it and were really great about cleaning them out.  I then had them tell me what kind of face they wanted on their pumpkins and did my best to give them what they wanted.  They were just very simple faces but the kids were happy with them and thats all that counts.
