We carved pumpkins last night for FHE. It was fun and not nearly as messy as I was anticipating. It helped that Karter was not interested in pulling the insides out. He thought it was gross. This coming from a boy who has smashed worms in his bare hands. Go figure...

I thought this picture was funny of Hudson. I was trying to get a picture of him looking at the insides and this is what I got. Dang those are some cheeks!

Karter waited patiently while Karl cleaned and carved his pumpkin and then he decorated it with stickers and colored/stabbed it with his crayons. My camera died (like usual) so I'll have to post a pic of his finished product later.

The night I was supposed to go the hospital to be induced with Karter Karl had a lot of anxiety. Rightfully so...and a little more because the hospital called and said they didn't have any room for us. So we had waited all day to go have a baby just to find out we had to wait another. For some reason we had a pumpkin at our house so Karl went and bought a pumpkin carving kit and made an elaborate carving. It was really cool. If I remember right it was a witch riding a broom flying through the sky. I recorded him while he was doing it and he was in such a bad mood. It was funny. He wanted to go have a baby!

Any-who...since that year Karl has carved a fancy pumpkin every Halloween. He always keeps it a suprise and we aren't allowed to look. This is what he did last night....

Lovely! A barfing pumpkin. Who wouldn't want one of these.
