Jack-O-Lanterns

For Family Home Evening on October 26th, we decided to have a contest to carve pumpkins against the girls and boys. Ryan and Christian carving their pumpkin. They won getting the top off first.
Christian helped pull the insides out only this one time. He didn't like the slime on his hand. I don't blame him. I hate doing it to and it stinks!!! P U!!!!
Thank goodness I had helpers to pull out our insides since I don't like doing it. Sammie and Cheyenne had a fun time doing it.
Ryan always has to eat the insides or pretend to sneeze or throw up the seeds. The kids love when he does this and just laugh hysterically when he does.
Christian kept wanting to carve the pumpkin and playing with the knife. This finally got him to quit playing with the knife. He got to help daddy by holding on to daddy's hand. Thank goodness this eased the tantrum.
Peyton was a big helper on the boy team. He slept the whole time. Hey at least there was no tantrum throwing from him.
I love Christian's face in this picture. It kind of looks like his pumpkin.
Ryan and Christian by their finished Jack-O-Lantern. They did a great job.
Cheyenne, Amy, and Sammie by their finished Jack-O-Lantern. Sammie and Cheyenne came up with the face all by themselves.
Our cute little Jack-O-Lanterns all lit up inside. (To bad you can't tell with the flash turned on)
