Jack O Lantern's

We carved a few pumpkins last night. J.D. was the only one of my kids who was really into it. Tyson just wanted to watch Speed Racer and Piper just wanted to pester us!! J.D. and I had a really good time though and the first thing he asked me this morning was if he could carve the rest of them. We'll see I said, because man is it messy!

It took me forever to convince J.D. to stick his hand inside the pumpkin. Piper wouldn't let me do it to her. She flipped out.

However, she played with the guts once they were in the bowl. At one poing she even picked up a chunk of pumpkin and put it in her mouth. I wish I had my camera handy for that one. Her face was priceless. J.D. was taking a lot of pictures because my hands were so yucky.

Look at all those yummy pumpkin seeds!

I'm roasting them as I type!

J.D. was insistent that he have a chance to carve his own pumpkin. HE SCARES ME!! He is not at all careful with a knife. Sherry your crazy for giving Brannigan a knife for Christmas. I was poked several times and almost lost a finger once or twice. EEK!!

Cute little guys!

Piper wanted nothing to do with them!

She kept screaming and throwing herself down on the ground.

Funny stuff, so we did it again.

I called my mom after we had cleaned up and said thank you for doing all the fun things that we did as kids, because as an adult they kinda stink. And she laughed. She said that it really isn't as much fun for the parents but the memories are priceless and they are. I hope my kids remember all this crazy stuff that we do.
