More Pumpkins

Even though we had 4 carved pumpkins after the pumpkin party last weekend, we decided to keep with tradition and carve a family pumpkin for FHE this past week. We had a bit more drama this year with the kids, but we all survived and even managed a family picture at the end.
After scooping out the pumpkin, we kept with our tradition of the last couple of years in having the kids each draw what they think the face should look like.

Then we choose one aspect from each drawing and put it all together -- Courtney's eyes, Hayley's nose, Hannah's mouth, and McKay added the ears.

After the successful pumpkin party, we also let the kids each carve "their" feature on the pumpkin, with some help from Dad when needed for tight corners. Love the concentration!

And finally, a family picture with the 2010 family pumpkin:

BOO!
