3rd Annual Pumpkin Party

Woo Hoo! We had our annual pumpkin carving contest and it was great :)

I wish more people had showed up so we'd have had more pumpkin entries, but it was a gorgeous and perfect Fall day so it was just nice being outside and watching the kids play. We need our family closer so they can come to these things too :(

Lots of pictures from the party so go to the bathroom now, and get your drink and snack. All settled? Good, here we go:

Pumpkin Paaaarty!


Jerome up to his elbows in pumpkin guts


Jason's pumpkin (for some reason I don't have one of Makenna's with her alone - I have some great ones of all the kids and their pumpkins, but I'm trying not to post pictures of other people's kids on here ;) )


I found a way around it - cut all their heads off! This is about half of the kids' entries

The kids made a huge pile of leaves and were playing them - and they had so much fun! I'm trying to find some with only my kids in them, and it's hard to get any that show the looks of pure glee on their faces, so just take my word for it





Jason doing his tribal yell in excitement. I was totally expecting him to start pounding his chest


Makenna doing her answering tribal yell

and my other goofy dude... oops, I mean, my other pumpkin

We had a great time and hope our guests did as well :) We look forward to seeing everyone next year.
