Pumpkin Carving

So, looking back, I realize I only posted most of October and not the last week. Hang in here with me while I catch it up completely. I wouldn't worry about it except I keep this as a digital record of our lives and I don't want large chunks of our life missing.

We had both girls help us clean our pumpkins out:Then after they went to bed, Michael and I got out the sharp tools and carved them. This year we didn't go off of any pattern, we just free handed. We looked online to see what we liked from a few different patterns and tried to recreate what we wanted. Here is Michael's pumpkin:And here is my pumpkin:Both lit up on the porch with the battery operated candles:
