Carve!

Look out! Charlie's in on the pumpkin carving action this year. Of course, the children chose a pumpkin at the pumpkin patch that was far too heavy for mama to lift without rupturing something, so we had to wait for the weekend and the much appreciated assistance of Daddo.

He's just going to charm a face onto the pumpkin.

She looks a little loopy from the marker fumes.

"Hmmm, crayons are kind of lame. How will I overtake my unsuspecting sister and gain access to a marker?"

I hope we don't lose one in there.

Fiona looks like she's taking one for the team.

"Hellooo?"

Fi was incredibly adept at making her way through the goop to scoop out the seeds. She worked with precision and did not seem to mind the grossness.

Frothing pumpkin, anyone?

The aftermath of the butchery

Happy Halloween!
