Tonight is garbage night and I thought that it would be a good night to carve the pumpkins, so I wouldn't have to smell the guts all week in the garage. So we carved out the innards together...rather the kids watched me do it. Jimmy kept saying "Yuck" and Julia kept saying it smelled. Kurt's mom was nervous as I was wielding the knife. I also made the comment that in most families, the dad does the carving (because a knife is involved and it's manly), but Kurt responded "I don't like pumpkins and I don't like Christmas Lights" Neither of which he is involved in. He also made the comment that most men don't vacuum either. Nuf said on the bending gender roles in the house.
After the kids went to bed, I carved the pumpkins. Julia wanted a Cinderella and a witch, so hopefully this will suffice. I think they turned out pretty good. Although, I have to say, that online templates are pretty easy to follow. The witch was freehand from a picture. I think I missed my art calling. Let's hope they last the week in the cold and gasp - snow?

Great job Kate! They look great! So you didn't attempt some type of truck for Jimmy? Maybe next year...
They look so good lit up! You tell Kurt that there is nothing wrong with a man holding a vacuum. Although, it never happens at my house either - unless there is a mess that he made.
