Carving Pumpkins



I always think it's funny to see my kids different personalities when they pick and carve their pumpkins. Of course, Tyler has to have the biggest, because he is the oldest. Then Ryan has the second biggest, but taller and thinner. Mckay wanted a smaller one, but as round and perfect as possible. The boys picked Brayden's to be the smallest, and it actually has a flat side so it lays down, just like him.



The big boys couldn't wait for us to cut off the top so they could start digging out the seeds and "guts." Ryan especially likes this part!



Mckay kept saying "I CAN'T touch the YUCK!" After some encouragement, a couple handfuls, and a spoon, he just wanted a paper towel and to wash his hands. Brayden sat in his swing most of the time, and after 3 others, we decided not to carve his pumpkin.



Tyler wanted a cool scary pumpkin with sharp teeth and spiderman eyes. Mckay liked circle eyes, nose, and mouth, very simple. Ryan wanted a happy pumpkin with a square top and eyes, 'cause it's different than the usual, and one tooth missing on top, and two teeth missing on bottom, like him.

Oliver didn't want to touch the "Yuck" either. He would gag every time he tried. Cute pumpkins though.

Yeah, Cassie was anti-pumpkin gutting, too. I think it is the most therapeutic part of the whole ordeal.
