Pumpkins Carving w/ the Missionaries!

Okay, Pumpkin carving was something I really, really wanted to do this year, but Doug wasn't as enthustiastic about it as me. So when the missionaries called and asked if they could come to our house with Brittney to carve pumpkins, I was all about that!

Sariah totally got in on the carving. Here she's helping Daddy "draw" the face on his pumpkin.She got really into it, maybe because its the first time we've let her color on something that wasn't paper. ;)
Mmm.. scooping the goopy innards out!
On the upside, we saved all the pumpkin seeds and toasted them in the oven today. They were super yummy!

And now, the final products! Here's the Sister's pumpkin...
Here's Doug & Sariah's...
Mine is pirate themed to match our Halloween Costumes!

And Brittney did a bat on her Jack-o-lantern!
We had a really fun time! We also sipped cidar & munched on cupcakes (thanks Brittney!) and pumpkin chocolate chip cookies (thanks Sisters!) After the Sisters left, Brittney and I played some guitar hero 3, which was totally fun, except I need a second guitar...
Anyways, I'm super excited about this week, because I'm loving Halloween this year & we're going to wear our costumes at least 5 times, so I'll post pictures as the week progresses!

Wow, 5 times for costumes? You guys must be popular to get invited to so many parties! :)

Nice pumpkins. I opted out of pumpkin carving this year. I've got too much other stuff going on. Maybe next year.

We're getting our pumpkin(s?) on Wednesday after the kids go to the dentist (1st time!).

Both of your family's pumpkins are super cute. I like!
