Every year we try to carve pumpkins for Halloween. Well the week before Halloween was just crazy busy this year. Lyndell, Cordell, and Blake all got a stomach virus that lasted a couple of days. Then there was football, soccer, flag football, and the weather got much cooler this week. We just did not have time to get it done. The first opportunity that we actually had to carve the pumpkins was on Sunday - Halloween day. We had trick or treated and attended our church fall festival the night before. Sunday morning, we went to church, ate lunch, and headed home. I had planned to carve the pumpkins then. Well, the boys had a different idea. I was not too crazy about breaking tradition. We have always tried to carve a pumpkin, but the boys are getting older. Carving a pumpkin has lost some of the excitement. Blake has not carved a pumpkin for the last several years. Of course, the biggest thing is I need to remember that I am the mother of BOYS!
So, I let it go and they had a great time....
shooting the pumpkins with their bb guns!
