We created jack-o-lanterns!
This is the first time Griffin has done this and he loved it! He loved drawing the picture on the pumpkin and getting the gooey goo and seeds from inside the pumpkin.
C'mon ... I'll show ya!

The cutest little pumpkin in the patch with his two jack-o-lanterns
I think they look very nice on our porch with the other two pumpkins and scarecrow. I love the multi-colored pumpkin and the white pumpkin too!
And this is what our jack-o-lanterns look like all lit up at night.
This was really fun ... it's definately going to become an annual tradition!
That was fun....I don't think I'm gonna carve my pumpkin that I got last weekend. Of course if Wade comes over, I'm sure he'll carve it. They look fantastic on your porch. You are so creative with everything. And you can tell everyone had such a good time doing it. What a great tradition to start.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute. I can't wait until Matthew is old enough to decorate. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteCute!!!
ReplyDeleteI saw someone using power tools to carve pumpkins, made it look so much easier LOL. Wondering if a turkey carver would work
I don't get to carve pumpkins any more. My adult kids did there's last night and I wasn't invited. I guess I will have to wait for Grandkids.
ReplyDeleteThis is a PHEEnomenal posting, by the time I finished it, I was almost ready to make a run for the local pumpkin patch and get me one of them punkin's----but then I had to remember I was an adult---a senior adult no less----and we got our dignity and all-----and I didn't have a kid handy to cover for me---oh well (sigh)
ReplyDeleteIsn't it just the best to have those type of family traditions???
