Halloween Punkins

It was that time of year again!

And every year I think we move

further along the spectrum of

'punkin-carving-parent-required-participation'.

You know,

in the beginning

it's more us doing it for the kids

and eventually

it turns into something they can start doing

on their own

with our supervision.

Yea,

we're not quite there yet.

Logi scoop'n guts!

Bubba with a bowl of 'guts'!

(and the remnants of a blue ring pop on his lips)

Ryan and her punkin!

(She doesn't quite understand the whole

"boys are allowed to take their shirts off....girls, not so much")

Eventually she ends up like this.

This year, too,

the kids were having too much fun with the

punkin guts!!
Didn't care at all about carving their punkins.

Just play'n with the guts.

Making "Pumpkin Pie"...they said.

Bubba's so proud of

Mom's work.

Finished project.

Good think I love carving punkins!!




She insisted we take a picture
of her with her punkin!

What a ham!



Bubba too.

What you didn't see was the floor.....

and the slippery, slimy, mess it became.

We had to mop.

The kids got a bath.

and

Mom and Dad have

another year

of carving behind us.

Next year

Fox will spice up the festivities

and

I can hardly wait!
