Pumpkins and Partying

After soccer and after our naps, I decided we needed to get a big pumpkin to carve. So, off we went to a pumpkin stand that is set up by the mall. I've taken some very cute pictures of Camden and Claire there in the past, so decided to try to get some today. Well, the girls were not very cooperative for me. I got a couple, but they could have cared less about smiling, sitting or even pumpkins. We did pick out a large pumpkin that we were going to carve with Daddy. We dropped off the pumpkin at home and headed to a birthday party. Jeremy just hates to carve pumpkins because of all the mess. But, he was a good sport and decided it would be easier to go ahead and clean out the seeds and yuck stuff before we got back home. In the meantime, we had SO much fun at Gage's birthday party. We got to bounce in the bounce houses, play on the swingset and with tons of balls. When we got home, Daddy and the girls decided on a face for our pumpkin, drew it on with a marker and got to cutting. Camden and Claire weren't real involved in the carving aspect, but sure enjoyed seeing our lit up jack-o-lantern. What a fun and busy day!!
