Carving Time

We saved our annual pumpkin carving party until the week before Halloween this year so the little jack-o-lanterns would make it to the big day. Eli still didn't get to participate as the only time we had to work was his naptime, but it was fun watching Myka help out a little more this year and react to the gooey goodness that comes with the process. Two years ago she was all about it and last year she would barely touch the seeds let alone the guts. This time she was somewhere in the middle, as she was our main seed sorter and did get herself a little bit gooey when the job called for it. Grandma and Grandpa Bates made the trip for the second year in a row so we had quite a gang of jack-o-lanterns by the end of the day.

And they seemed to have quite a range of personalities as well...
