Pumpkin Fun

I can hardly believe that I am only just posting my pumpkin pics and tomorrow it will be December, time is really flying by!

Since we didn't go trick or treating on Halloween night, we decided it would be fun to enjoy a family activity and carve our pumpkins.

Amelia didn't waste a minute and was very excited to help with her own pumpkin, although after experiencing the feeling of the slimy guts of the pumpkin, she decided that mummy could take care of the inside.

Daddy had the biggest pumpkin, and had to work hard to carve his.

If you look closely at Amelia's pumpkin below, you will see tiny holes on the side (double click on the photo to enlarge). This was her design idea, her pumpkin has freckles.

After all the hard work was done, it was time to show off each of our fun designs.

Great job daddy, your pumpkin is almost as big as Amelia.

I carved an owl sitting on a branch, I love owls.

Next, it was time to put them on the porch and wait until it got dark.

Here's Amelia, candy in hand, ready for our spooky visitors.

Once the sun went down, we lit the pumpkins, we thought they looked really great.

When she wasn't answering the door and handing out candy, Amelia helped me to make an apple pie, yum!

The three of us enjoyed a very fun day, I love the traditions we take part in each year. I especially love the memories we make together!
