eli dug right in cleaning out the pumpkins……i just LOVE this picture!
this was dylan’s exact reaction! he dissapeared for awhile after this! (he’s got a thing with textures!)
eli working SO hard! he’s a man with a mission!
look at that concentration!
i just LOVE these lips……..
team work!
dylan showed back up when it was time to use the little tools……
such a boy!
our hard work paid off!
eric and eli did the bat, eric and i teamed up on the spider, and i went all martha stewart on the holy one! (i acheived the look with a power drill! :))
so, another fun tradition has taken place, on to another one tomorrow…………
Hannah: I did the holy one 2 years ago, except I used cookie cutters... I had to be resourceful. Love the pictures!!!!
The Christian's: I love your pumpkins...they look so pretty lit up! Those pictures of them cleaning out the pumpkins and carving are great!! :)
Tamar Schrater: Your "holy" pumpkin is so great! The other ones are, too, but if I was a pumpkin-carver-type-person, I'd do the "holy" one. My kids' pumpkins are still sitting on my front porch....very un-carved :)
Awesome pics, as usual, Beth!
the yaney's: Your pumpkins are great. I did a holy version last year too! (wish I had thought of using the power drill that would have been easier)
Fantastic pictures as always!
emma & naomi's mommy: My boys I just want to snuggle them right now, come home for thanksgiving!
Amy: awesome jack-o-lanterns!!!
Mary: Great pics Beth! Your pumpkins are gorgeous! So much fun :)
Viv: Beth,
You are Eric are such awesome parents! It never even occurred to me to start a pumpkin carving tradition. Eli & Dylan will have the best memories of special times with mom & dad when they grow up!
