So...none of you may remember but last year I was accused of being a Halloween Nazi. This accusation came on account that I didn't try to secure some pumpkins until Halloween day and unfortunately, they were all sold out. This resulted in a year without the carving of pumpkins...which apparently is a tradition at our house. A few weeks ago I bought three large pumpkins so that when Ariel came home for the weekend, the kids could carve their pumpkins together since they wouldn't be together on Halloween. They did a fine job. If I had to give out pumpkin carving awards, based on their efforts that night, they would be as follows: Megan would receive the "best cleaning out the guts" award. Aaron would receive the "most likely to stab himself or one of his sisters" award. Ariel would receive the "most likely to get bored and quit" award. (As can be seen in the photo when I had to "help" her with part of her carving.) I guess we ought to throw an award in there for Todd too, he wins the creepiest knife picture. It is now five days before Halloween...the pumpkins have long since molded and slimed. They will be taken away in tomorrow's trash and dumped in a landfill somewhere...but the memories of those jack-o-lantern faces will live in our hearts forever.

Your blog is really interesting.I'm waiting for your new post.
Have a nice day.
awesome pumpkins! I love the designs!
You are a good Mom, Angela. It was pretty rare for me to get pumpkins for the kids to carve and we usually ended up drawing on them with markers instead.
