We carved our pumpkins this weekend and transformed them into spectacular Jack O Lanterns. Part of my Halloween season is to visit a pumpkin patch and delight in the scene of orange. However, this year due to some very kind friends and neighbors, we were given pumpkins from their gardens and therefore my sweet husband felt it wasteful to make the extra trip. While I appreciate the generosity of the pumpkins given, it did put a bit of a damper on my holiday festivities. Oh well, this year has been different all around. Because of my current position, it was necessary to cut back on some of the extras and keep it a bit more simple.....thus no Halloween Party...gasp!!
We still had our fun with carving and were quite pleased with the results. Bailee and Karsyn are pretty much pros now with all their years of carving experience and Emmrey is getting a little better about all the gooey guts. They all came up with their own design ....Emmrey wanted to add a "bucked out tooth" to hers because she currently has her first loose tooth. Wait....seriously? Could she really be at the age for losing baby teeth already? Impossible!
This years Jack O Lanterns
We also made these cute little lanterns earlier in the month with canning jars and tissue paper....so easy and fun!!
Let the Trick or Treating begin=)
