We had a great time carving our pumpkins last week. Ella actually wanted to help, at least with the messy part :) But then when it was time to carve, she moved on to better things and let Tom and I do the hard work. I tried to carve a really cool cat design from those pumpkin carving kits. The result was NOT good! So then I had to just cut a big hole in the front and try to salvage it into looking like a big scary mouth. Tom's pumpkin on the other hand turned out great. To boost my confidence, I carved one more and it turned out ok. Ok, here are the pics!!
PUMPKIN CARVING '08!
Helping Mommy carry in the pumpkins! Doesn't she look so proud here? :)
This looks messy and fun! 
Ok, nevermind.....I don't like that mushy stuff!
Ok, ok....I guess I'll help out!
Cleaning out the pumpkin with my Mommy :)
I think I'll play with my shopping cart. This pumpkin business is starting to get boring.
Tom, hard at work scraping out his pumpkin!
This is the monstrosity that was one of the pumpkins I carved. I tried to make a kitty, but it was held to the pumpkin by really thin strips, and they broke. The kitty itself actually turned out, but there was no way to hold it to the top and bottom of the pumpkin :( So this is what we ended up with. Yikes. It's scary, alright :(

What a little ham :)
Ooooh! Look at how big I am!
This is Tom's pumpkin. It's kinda blurry, but you get the idea. It turned out great!
Ok, I'm done with the pictures and it's past my bedtime!All in all, it was a fun night :) Stay tuned for the Halloween pictures!

That last picture is priceless, she is bawling!! Guess it was a little overwhelming to stay up so late :) Don't we all feel like that by the end of the day!!
Fun pictures!!
I just saw the pumpkin patch pictures, how did I miss that post?! I commented on it, p.s. Not sure if you check previous posts. Love Ella's baby pic from last year's patch - so tiny!!
Great pictures! Ella is getting so grown up! Great job with the pumpkins. We used one of those kits too and it was almost a nightmare!
hey April, thanks for the feedback! Sometimes I wonder if anybody is even reading! After tomorrow my posts will be much more fun, hopefully.
I love all of the Halloween pictures. Ella looks so grown up in these pictures. Glad you and your family are having so much fun!
