Pumpkin fun!

This is George. Ewan's pumpkin. We tried to wait till as close to Halloween as possible to carve him since it has been so HOT down here, but Ewan was not having it. He wanted to carve his pumpkin the night (at 9 pm ) we got his pumpkin, and logical explanations about how we can't carve it in his carseat on the way home and how if we carved it too early it wouldn't last just weren't working.... So Pete made up a story about a pumpkin named George and somehow it calmed him down and we carved him the next day. Anyway, designed by Ewan, here is George with all his friends... Baby Girl, Big Daddy, and Curious
Well since it was 3 weeks ago, George didn't make it to Halloween, but the boys really liked watching him turn all black and moldy and poking him with sticks as he was "getting rotten", but here we are carving the rest. Ewan really liked taking out the seeds and all the "glop" and designing the faces. He designed the big pumpkin with the smiling face and teeth because "pumpkins always have teeth" and he was pretty upset that Lucas wanted a "growly-faced" pumpkin with no teeth........which describes Lucas the past 2 weeks as he is getting all 4 molars at once......he was really excited about that growly face!!! Here is Ewan carving and Lucas running. He didn't want anything to do with touching the pumpkin seeds because they were too "slimy".

And then since we had such a big windstorm the night before, the boys raked up all the leaves into a big pile to play with...
