No Guts, No Glory!

I have to say that this is one of my favorite things about Halloween. I love getting all the pumpkin carving stuff out and helping the boys carve their pumpkins into something spooky and Halloweeny. Of course this year, my boys have so grown up that other than helping them get all the pumpkin guts out, which Cole was nice enough to point out was "really, really disgusting and it's a Mom job", they pretty much did everything else themselves. Kaden carved himself a spider pumpkin and Cole carved a skull pumpkin with spiderwebs. Emma and Braxton carved their pumpkins with Tommy a few nights ago while I was at the store so I didn't get any pictures. But they did an awesome job too. Emma did the best Vampire Cat that I've ever seen. She kept asking me, "Shay do you like my Cat? Isn't it scary?". It made me laugh. Braxton did a coffin pumpkin with bats. He ended up improvising a little but you'd never know. It looked totally professional. So our patio has a family of pumpkins on it, I'll have to take a picture of them when Tommy and I finish ours.
