Our October Fest

Well it must be October........ last Saturday we had our Pumpkin Walk meeting and after, it was suggested that next Saturday every one meet at the K.K. and carve pumpkins. Half the fun is just talking with everyone and catching up on each others lives. Oh by the way this party went from 9 in the morning until 9 at night. I went down at 9:30pm to check things out and it was all clean and put ready for Monday, I just had to turn down the heat. Pumpkins.....Pumpkins every where!!!!!

This was the scene when I walked into the school.....( I have the pictures back wards but Oh well.)
It had been raining and the pumpkins were wet so they were using a hair dryer to dry them before carving.

there were pumpkins every where.....Look out the window behind Mike. A little rain but every thing is nice and green now everything is covered with snow. You can also see all the pumpkins all over the lawn.
Everyone got into the act even the older kids were carving.....while the younger kids played with the toys in the other room. What an ideal place to carve pumpkins.
Even though there is talking, joking, and laughing to these carvers..... this is VERY serious business. All the "Jack-o-lanterns" are stored in the sheds which makes it interesting trying to get to things you need in there. But WE all love it.....well most of us love it. :)

Great Pics, Mom! I felt bad, because by the time I got there with all my kids to carve, my family had gone home. So we did too. =(

Love to see all those pumpkins carved though!!!

we wish we were there to help. My kids have never seen that and when I was talking about the pumpkin walk Tyler said "What is that?" Isn't that sad?

Yep, it's sad, Joanna. We hear you! But what fun for you all there in Utah...I've got to post pictures of the two pumpkins Brady did for our elementary school. You'd be proud (he even bought a new tool this year at Michaels!)
