pumpkin carving

Today Matt carved our pumpkin. Andrew didn't have much to do with it. He didn't like all the "dirtiness" that it had inside it!Blake, sick Blake, was all about checking it out.

Daddy did all the work!
The final product...
Andrew is SO excited about trick-or-treating! I'm SO excited about having candy in my house..NOT! Andrew has a couple of friends coming over to go with him. We were going to do dinner and then go but Blake woke up with and ear infection and croup this morning. Hopefully he'll be feeling okay to at least hit one house!!

Dude, buy some carving utensils. Matt would have had that done in no time. Creative work, by the way, the diamond nose really shows the time spent on that face.:O
Nicole's comment: weak, elementary.

Shandra said...

ME??? you mean ANDREW! he doesn't like SCARY STUFF. get your facts straight, MATTO!

jill, sorry i'm just now seeing your comment. usually i get emails letting me know i have comments on here but i never did for any of these. anyway, blake was a lion and he hated his hat. :) of course matt thought he looked like an indian. i'll post pics later.

hope blake feels better! i totally read that like blake was "sick" for wanting to look at the guts of the pumpkin. :)

i roasted some pumpkin seeds for emily's class...i used butter, sugar and a little bit of cinnamon. it tasted like popcorn! i'll be doing more roasting. :)

i should have roasted our seeds but i was too lazy! i wanted to do this math lesson w/ them too...but i was too lazy! oh well. there is always next year!

Michelle said...

i did not know until recently that people rosted seeds. just to think of the yummy seeds we could have eaten all these years makes me sick. :)

Shandra said...

well, next year i'll have to get that info from you...if i remember!
