mistake

Normally we carve the pumpkin in the kitchen floor and everyone participates. This year we waited until the last minute. Saturday morning rolled around and the thing was sitting there still uncarved so we headed to the front yard. The girls and I were still in our pajamas, but that's how we do it around our house.

Huge mistake.

Morgan wanted nothing to do with the pumpkin because there were balls and push lawnmowers calling her name. Addison just wanted to ride her bike. After some pleading Michael finally convinced her to help cut. I think it was the knife part that drew her in.

A big thank you to my dad for getting me the pumpkin carving kit last year. It makes such a huge difference when you're not using a butcher knife from your kitchen. I think the finished product turned out pretty good.
