Pumpkin Day!

We picked out our perfect pumpkins with the boys the day before Halloween and had planned on carving them during trick-or-treating time the next day. I'm not sure why we thought we would have time to do that with everything else going on? Luckily we realized that before we started and saved them until Saturday. The boys woke up so excited to start. They loved every second of it - and it took a long time!

Pumpkin Hunting!

I'm not actually sure why their hands are up. And they both did it!

Starting to dig out those seeds!

We were a little surprised at how much this little neat freak liked putting his whole arm in the messy pumpkin.

The look on Carsten's face shows that this was going against all of his own neat freak tendencies.

Getting ready to paint!

Cheesy smile!

And the painting moved on from pumpkins to hands.

The finished masterpieces!

Carl is a pumpkin carving genius. :-)
