Saturday night came and we participated in the annual Parker Pumpkin Carving at Rick and Stacie’s house. We had lots of fun and there were plenty of interesting pumpkins to look at when it was all over. This traditional Pumpkin Carving has evolved as we have had more kids and many were old enough to carve their own. This was Lily’s first year of carving her own from start to finish. Thanks to the Puzey’s for sharing the pumpkins from their garden. Next year we plan to plant our own patch – we are really excited about that!
Mason’s pumpkin was voted "pumpkin with the smallest smile".
Lily’s pumpkin was voted "worst breath pumpkin".
Olivia’s pumpkin was voted "smallest face pumpkin".
Alexis’ pumpkin was voted "most likely to start a fire".
JT thought Uncle Ricks tools were very interesting and had fun hanging out with birthday boy, Cooper, in a metal basket and also the in saw dust. A little boy’s dream!
One more fun fall memory to bottle up in our souls and perserve until next year.
