Pumpkin Carving

This past Sunday we decided it was time to carve this years pumpkin!  As far as I can remember Karalee and I have carved a pumpkin every year since we have been married.  This year we called Sandy and Audrey to come over and participate in the activities.  Kennick and Audrey were big buddies when they stayed at Charlotte's (our babysitter) house and still have so much fun when they are together.  After a little supper it was time to carve!!

Silly or spooky?

All finished

We all had a fun time carving and getting pumpkin guts all over the place.  I remember being a kid and enjoying our annual pumpkin carving and the smell of fresh cut pumpkin.  I also remember making popcorn balls which will hopefully be introduced next year especially after we got a new popcorn popper.  

This year Kennick is also starting to understand more and laying in bed he will quite often talk about Halloween and that he wants to fill his pumpkin up to the tippy-top with candy.  It is much fun to watch the innocence and simple excitement of a child.
