Carving our Pumpkins!

It took us about a week of talking about it before we actually got down to business! We finally got around to it last week. We striped the girls down to their diapers and put them in their high chairs. They were a little creeped out at first to touch the "punkin goo" but eventually they dug right in. We carved the 4 little ones with the letters W, C, M and S. The 2 big pumpkins were going to be elaborate Cincinnati Reds and Dora designs but a certain male member of our family gets easily frustrated when carving pumpkins! LOL We ended up with a super basic jack-o-lantern face and just the Reds C. We don't have any candles so the pumpkins haven't been lit up yet and I don't have any pictures of them but they turned out pretty good, if I do say so myself. I was feeling especially Betty Crockerish so I looked up a recipe for pumpkin seeds. The sugar, salt and pumpkin pie spice coated seeds are amazing! The best part, Wes won't even try them so they are all mine! :)
