After all the excitement of the ward party, we were happy to have a little down time and spend a family evening carving pumpkins at Grandma and Grandpa's house.
Evie and Lizzie remembered gutting the pumpkins and did really well, scraping away cheerfully with the help of their cousins.
They each mapped out what they wanted carved and this year, both girls were able to do most of their own carving as well!
Carson was all ready to get his hands in the muck - until he got his hands in. the. muck. He took one handful and refused to put his hand back in that gooey cavity. He was happy to watch Daddy finish gutting and carving the pumpkin.
Aunt Katie and Jessica came and made a cute pumpkin, too!
Grandma was very excited about her 'Jack the Pumpkin King' inspired pumpkin.
Evie loved that her pumpkin's warty appearance added to the fun!
Most of the finished products, lined up over the dryer (the fun ghostly light under them).
After carving pumpkins, eating and dancing around in the dark with the remainder of the glow-sticks, Grandma helped all the kids decorate caramel apples to take home.
I have video of the dancing. It was all through the house, upstairs and downstairs, marching and twirling, following the leader and dancing like crazy. It really was a hoot to watch!
