Pumpkins, Pumpkins Everywhere!

We carved pumpkins last night for family night.  I thought the kids would love it. 

The kids were so excited they were running up the walls!  Spencer started cutting the lids for everyone's pumpkin.  Then they asked what they were supposed to do.  When I told them they had to stick their hands in the pumpkin and pull out the "innards", they looked at me like I had just grown a 3rd eye!  "Really, are you joking, mom?"  Ben tried but then his gag reflex kicked in and he started to dry heave.  I couldn't help it I started to laugh.  (I am a mean mom)  Caitlyn just stared at the pumpkin and kept telling us how dirty it was!  Matthew was the only one that still wanted to do anything.  I ended up cleaning out 3 pumpkins and helping to carve 2 of them before finally getting to my own at 10:30 last night!  Before bedtime we had most of them done and lit up on the porch.  The kids were pretty impressed.  (Thank you, Thank you very much!)

So, you have the coolest pumpkins ever! We are carving pumpkins today and I know that I can't do what you did. Sounds like you didn't have enough pumpkins to clean out either...come on over and get the innards out of ours too! Bring Ben and we can dry heave together!
