I have mentioned before that we are not a Halloween family, but we love the pumpkin part of Fall. Tonight was the big night - we carved our pumpkins! The little ones drew the faces on, and then I tried to carve exactly what they drew. Madelyn drew the tiniest face on hers, and the candle wouldn't stay lit. Other than that little problem, it was a precious family night together.
We ate a delicious home-cooked meal , monitored the dish washing (Mason and the girls are learning how to wash plates and load the dishwasher), ate ice cream, carved pumpkins, played games and read books. What a perfect evening!
We also had a first - when we opened Madelyn's pumpkin, there were several seeds sprouting inside. Apparently her pumpkin was a little "old" - lol!
As the days get cooler and the nights get longer, we will enjoy this season of family togetherness - what a blessing.

I miss you all so much! I'm counting down the days until I'm home for Thanksgiving! Give everyone a hug for me! Love you, Mom! Have a joyful week!
I love the picture of the three of them lined up with carving their pumpkins.... sweet. We still haven't gone to get pumpkins and now it has gone and snowed! sigh... I am still determined to find the time to do this!

Those are beautiful photos! All those little faces just intent on creating their own pumpkin. Sweet as can be.
I bought Colton a little pumpkin for the front porch and he is as happy as can be. Orange is his favorite color.
Smiles,
