Pumpkin Carving

We took our pumpkins to Summer and Jake's house so that the boys could carve their pumpkins with their cousins. Now the cousins had carved pumpkins before and knew just what to do. A few years ago we tried to have Ethan carve a pumpkin and as soon as the top was off he ran away. This year was not much different. He was really excited about it but once the top was off it was a whole different story. He barely reached is hand inside the pumpkin and said no way I am not touching that. He said it was gross. We tried to have him use a spoon, still didn't want any part of it. Finally he gave into peer pressure and took out some of the pumpkin guts. Hudson loved the idea of using the spoon. Hudson also kept taking the tops and trying to match them to the right pumpkin, even if someone was still pulling out the insides.


Ethan was not happy about this


Look at that face


Hudson is ready to dig in


taking time to pose for the camera


Daddy helped carve the ghosts on the pumpkin


So curious about what is inside

Haha! What fun! I'm anxious to see Nate's reaction when we carve our pumpkin. I'm sure he won't want to touch the pumpkin guts either! LOVE the photos of Ashland! Gorgeous!! I didn't realize Oregon was so beautiful in the fall.
