Some fun ~ October Style

Here-we-go-a-pumpkin-huntin

Everybody found their perfect pumpkin and Jayla is ready to go home!

Line 'em up folks!

Let the carving begin!

And that was about the last picture I got of JJ and Jayla. They enjoyed picking out their carving stencils and digging out the guts, but after that they weren’t so interested in the tedious work of the actual carving! Jake and I got to finish their pumpkins out. :)

Jake decided that carving pumpkins was pretty theraputic because you get to shut your brain off full speed and slow down a bit! That combined with all the fun conversations we had around the table made us start to wonder if perhaps our family should sit down and carve pumpkins every month! ;)

Victoria started off with a scary hand stencil, but part way through her carving she accidently chopped off one of the fingers and had to start over.

About half-way through our carving we decided we would have a little friendly competition on Facebook to see who's finished pumpkin could win the most 'likes'.....here are the finished masterpieces....

And the winner of the 1st Annual Sullivan Family Pumpkin Carving Contest was.....

Miss Kiana, winning the most 'likes' on Facebook with her intricate spider carving! She now holds the title until next year!

Our family has never carved pumpkins before, but we sure had a lot of fun!!!! This will definitely go onto our list of yearly Sullivan family traditions! :)
