the long-awaited day finally arrived on monday: the kids were able to carve their pumpkins! (seriously - there's been a countdown for at least a week.) they had a ton of fun and were thoroughly and deliciously grossed out by the pumpkin innards. don't let their faces fool you - they took utter delight in the slimyness. the kids drew the best faces - they were a lot of fun to carve. (a bit of a challenge for james, who carved kalei's cat face. how he followed her exact drawing with just kitchen knives, i'll never know. silly man let me choose which face i wanted to carve first. ummmm... i'll take the less detailed but equally charming one, thank you!) now we have two beautiful pumpkins that totally match the personality of their creators. happy halloween!Wednesday, October 29, 2008

Wow! great pumpkins! Did you see the Martha Stewart tip to put the hole on the bottom of the pumpkin instead of the top so you can just slip the pumpkin over the candle instead of trying to lite it from the top down? too bad we haven't see any pumpkins in the PI's.
i love it.
i always love your commentaries bess! so lively and entertaining :) looks like everyone had a lot of fun!
