The Pumpkin

It was pumpkin carving night at our home. There was excitement in the air!



Rylie "won" a free pumpkin for a coloring contest in the local paper. (Everyone is a winner!) So we decided just to get one great pumpkin this year.

Usually the hardest part is cleaning out all the seeds...but to our amazement, there were litterally only 30 seeds inside! Our lucky day! But on the flip side that only meant we got 30 cooked seeds, too!



Here are a few pics from the carving party. Chad was the master artist.











Ta-da! The finished masterpiece! Isn't this incredible!? I am sooooooooooooooo impressed with his creation!



We got Rylie out of bed to see the finished product. The minute we lit the candle in the pumpkin and turned off the light...she began to sing "Happy Birthday." Quite funny.
