Pumpkin Carving!

Tonight we did our pumpkin carving!  Not a minute too soon (as usual!).  John was home all weekend with the boys (Thurs-Sun) but they waited for me to be home to do pumpkins, so I was glad of that!

John is the master pumpkin carver and Logan is pretty into it, too.  Bennett could take-it-or-leave-it.  Benny is really great at finding his own activity and keeping busy if he isn't interested in what's going on.  He found plenty of other things to keep him busy.

We also took some time to put our spider webs up around the house!  Creeeepy!  It was Bennett's request to put the spider webs up...I almost forgot!

John does all the dirty work...digging out the seeds and guts.  Ewww.  Logan helped a little.

I kept Eden busy with smooches.

Benny gave us a great show!  What a rockstar!  He seriously loves to put on a show like this for us!  Maybe not for many other folks - he sometimes gets a little shy, but around us, we see his GREAT personality.

And Logan, hard at work!  I got a carving kit this year with the little saws for easier carving.  Much to John's dismay, they came with patterns for some tricky carving.  The boys, of course, had to have all the pumpkins carved with a pattern - not just a jack-o-lantern face like we usually do.

The Master and his Apprentice.  Logan is so much like John!  He really wanted to have his pumpkin perfectly carved and was willing to work hard at it!

 Bennett worked hard on some projects.  He is my master marker man.

My sweet boy loves to color and write.

Logan joined in on the projects when he was tired of carving.

Mini-John.

Eden was so busy crawling around and getting stuck.  What a stinker!  She is the best!

It was a super late night!  I have a feeling its going to be a long, tired week with lots of Halloween fun!
