Pumpkin Party at Grandma and Grandpa's

The past couple of years, Tyler's mom and dad have had the grandkids over for pumpkin carving a few days before Halloween.  The kis get to dress up in their costumes and then we carve pumpkins.  The grandkids are all still to little to be running around wilding knives so they tell us what they want and then the adults carve the pumpkins and all the kids run around.

Thing 1, Thing 2 and The Cat in the Hat

Emily was excited to dig in and clean out her pumpkin.

As she really got into cleaning her pumpkin, Emily would make grossed out faces and then she would say over and over "It's so squishy and gross" then continue to clean her pumpkin out. She didn't mind cleaning it out and even helped clean Allie's and Josh's.

Allie stuck her hand in the pumpkin, touched the "guts" and was done. She did not like the feel of the pumpkin squishing between her fingers and wanted nothing to do with it.

I'm a bad mom and didn't take pictures of the finished products. I was too busy eating the donuts and drinking the apple cider that we had after. Yum Yum!
