Pumpkins 2009

We grew our pumpkins in our garden this year...here we are going out to pick them...Maren goes first since she is youngest...

Here she is

Here is Joran with his big pumpkin.


Annicha wanted a big one as well.

Boston

Sierra

Cheyenne


Connor with the last two...we tried to keep the number down so we weren't over run with pumpkins



The weather was pretty nice on Halloween, so we cleaned and carved out in the back yard this year. Here's Maren before she realized pumpkin guts were slimy...


Here she is after asking for us to wash her off...


Joran had a great time and did his all by himself. (His shirt says,"Handsome is and understatement". We all agree...he is so stinkin' cute!)


Annicha dug right in...then she would flip the goo all over everything when she pulled out her hands...


Boston cleaning his pumpkin


Sierra doing hers...


Cheyenne making faces...it's her theme lately.


Here are some pictures of the finished jack 0' lanterns...you might notice that each lid is cut in a different shape so the lids don't get mixed up for the different pumpkins...that was Jeff's idea. He also cuts the designs with a jig saw...much faster and neat...the kids get tired of trying to cut theirs so are happy to draw the design and have dad cut it with the saw.
In case you are wondering, Connor decided not to carve his so that is why he isn't in any of these pictures...

From top to bottom: Maren's, Joran's, Annicha's and Boston's


These are Cheyenne and Sierra's
