Pumpkin carving

Above is Ella's pumpkin/Below is Claire's

Above and below are my pumpkins that I copied from a magazine because I am not creative

Tonight we carved our pumkins. I have to say that this might be the best year yet. (and looking at the pictures, that is kind of saying a lot because we SUCK at carving pumpkins). Every year they are ugly. We just can't get creative, and when we do try that route, they turn out looking like downs syndrome pumpkins (yes, this is a true story. I carved a pumpkin that we named Corky...it was not on purpose).

Big year for Ella because she carved her own pumpkin with the little kid tools. In the previous years, she would just draw the picture and we could carve it. Claire had a great creation as well. Rosalie hung out and watched us stab pumpkins all night.

On another fun note, my Octo-Mom costume has been completed as well as Steve's Operation Man (from the game Operation). Halloween ROCKS!
