Jack-O-Lanterns

FINALLY!

We got a chance to carve our our pumpkins and make them into the much-awaited Jack-o-lanterns!

Don't you just love the bumpy look! Imagine, she's fortunate one, remaining intact, while her friends were altered beyond recognition... (kind of like the token saved turkey at Thanksgiving)


Ahhh, here they are! As I brought them in the house from the front steps, where they have been decorating the neighborhood, he took over. He rolled the biggest one down the hall all the way to the dining room. And yes, he rolled them between all the boxes that remain to be opened (just try to ignore all the house decor for the time being).

As I went to pull the pizza out of the oven for dinner, which took a whole couple of minutes, Chris had already gone to work. He got our his markers and had drawn his favorite pumpkin faces on the soon to be jacks.

So we did what we had to do...used his artwork!

I kept hearing, "ewww, this is gross, it's slimy, ewww". But he forged on. Job to do!


Very proud!

Well, no candles in the house (residual from the "moving experience")...but, birthday candles work in a pinch. As you can see, our little guy did beautiful work! He should be proud!
