Carving Pumpkins

Sorry this is so late....attempted to post this earlier last week but blogger wasn't being nice!

JR's friend Mark came down from Boulder last Saturday to carve pumpkins with us. He has done this just about every year with us so he is keeping up tradition! It was messy but fun! Emma even joined in after a bit....and ate some pumpkin too! She got a hold of a hunk that came out of someones pumpkin and gnawed on that for a little while. Here are the pictures from that.

Emma conquering the pumpkins! That baby will sit on anything that will hold her!

The kids with their pumpkins...look at how cute Emma's is!

JR carving and Eli getting the guts out

Emma contemplating digging in

Kayla with guts in her hand....ewww....and the ever mysterious Marks leg......

Emma diggin in...she found that spoon was great for digging seeds to eat! I caught her each time before she could actually do it...I think you need more teeth to be able to chew a seed....

Here are our pumpkins lit up...mind is the dim one on top...it just says MOM...then JR's, Eli's, Mark's, and Kayla's. You can't see Emma's because I didn't carve it, I just wrote her name on it.
