Carving Pumpkins

Last night we finally carved our pumpkins. Peyton had been so excited waiting for the day and had her design picked out for a week.

But first I have to tell you about a little incident we had with the pumpkins before the carving began. While waiting for Bradyn to get home from work, I had brought the pumpkins in the house to warm up a bit and had them sitting by the front door. All the sudden I heard a thump, thump, thump and I knew. I went running over to the stairs to find Peyton's pumpkin at the bottom of the stairs broke in half. Houston had rolled it down the stairs. Luckily, Bradyn was at the store picking me up some other stuff so I had him grab another pumpkin for Peyton.

Peyton loved the digging out all the seeds and did all of her own carving. Houston wasn't really sure what to think. I put his hands in a little bit and then was off to play.



Houston didn't know what to think





This was the joke for the night. Peyton started carving Houston's pumpkin for him and this is what it looked like before Bradyn fixed it.
