It amazes me every year the sheer amount of time that goes into carving pumpkins with 4 kids. But what a ball!! After school, I had the kids take the seeds out of the pumpkins. The boys decided that it was such a messy job that they needed to take their shirts off. Caroline, not to be outdone, decided she needed to do the same! They designed the face they wanted on their pumpkin and we carved away. We fit in a hamburger dinner, watched a little Charlie Brown, and it was back to carving. When we were finished, they were so pleased with the results! We sat in the dark with the pumpkins lit up, admiring our handiwork, with Mom snapping oodles of pictures. Evan was fascinated, and kept taking the lid off his pumpkin to check that the candle was still there. He was a little chatterbox, and firmly has added the words "pumpkin", "candle" and "funny" to his vocabulary. By the time we were done, it was time for the kids to go to bed!

Were you listing to KISS when carving pumpkins? Or is Caroline just that big of a Gene Simmons fan?
"Oh yeah, you know your niece. She just can't get enough of Gene Simmons," said Sarah sarcastically. (I know, you needed that clarification, I say sarcastically again.)
Oh, and Bill, we do have a rather large collection of KISS, right next in amongst our RAFFI, VEGGIE TALES, and Seseme Street. (Can you believe the length of my daughter's tongue?!)
