Our neighbors, Leighann and Perry invited our family down for a night of pumpkin carving, cookie decorating and pizza eating!!! Leighann was very prepared for us.... she bought each kid a large pumpkin and a small pumpkin to carve. She also put down a big black tablecloth on the floor, everyone had a towel to wipe their hands on and a scooper etc....She did a great job!! It was a lot of fun. The kids were not all too thrilled with getting their hands dirty, so the parents ended up doing a lot of the work. I would say Camden and Emma stuck with it the longest!!! One of the big events for the night was getting all the seeds ready to be baked so that we could eat them. The kids loved playing in the water!!! It just does not seems like fall when the kids are wearing t-shirts and shorts for their pumpkin carving!!!
Cookie decorating.... Sophia licked the icing off the spatula, Myah ate tons of sprinkles, Owen used about 500 candy corn for each cookie and Camden thought the little kids were hilarious!

Owen, digging into his small pumpkin first!
Emma was not afraid, she thought the "guts" were cool!
Camden took everything out of his pumpkin, drew his picture and craved it out all by himself!

Everyone hard at work on the pumpkins!!
Emma actually drew all these little pictures on her pumpkin. She would have to tell you what they all are. But then Neal cut them all out for her!! Pretty cool I thought!

What a cute but messy idea...those are the things that are great when at someone elses house:)
Looks like fun! We are running a little behind this year. We haven't bought our pumpkins yet. Yikes! Tell Emma she did a great job on the design. :-)
