Pumpkins

This afternoon Shawn came up to me with a crayon stripped of its paper. "It's The Wrapper Free 3000!" This kid cracks me up... to no end!

Tonight was our annual Family Pumpkin Carve/Color. It was rather strange to think its been a whole year since Landon was sitting in the bumbo watching us go to town sloshing goo around. Shawn's face was nearly drenched in black marker... along with his hands and cloths. (Thank you to the makers of WASHABLE markers!) Tonight's carve consisted of Landon being an amazing helper of "goo digging" and floor sweeping... Shawn spelling words as decoration on his pumpkin... and I carved my 1st pumpkin all by myself. It hadn't dawned on me until tonight that I either am taking the pictures, or letting Jon do the carving because he does it better.
