Pumpkin Carving

The kids love to carve pumpkins. I remember several years ago when they hated cleaning them out and Scott and I would have to do it for them. That's all changed. Mady loves pumpkin guts. We usually have to get her moving along because she'll just sit and squish the pumpkin goo between her fingers.

This year the kids went for simple designs. Sometimes they choose very difficult ones which do not always end up working for them. Brandon opted for a text message emoticon while Mady chose to do a text message saying; LOL (laughing out loud). I guess that's a sign of the times we are living in! It was most entertaining though and we all had some good laughs.

I often wonder where the goofiness of Mady came from!
