Pumpking Carving

Tonight was a busy night. From daycare, Gerrit and I went for a run (well, I ran and Gerrit rode), Subway to get dinner for mom, and then to Dahlen's to carve pumpkins and eat. Gerrit sat in the high chair eating and watching us carve pumpkins (staying out of trouble, really). I had given the boys a few pumpkins from our 'harvest' so we had plenty to carve. Here are Luke (left) and Paul hard at work:


Nikki and the girls stopped by too to check out the festivities and hang out for a bit. Nikki assisted Paul in making a ZM pumpkin while Anne is cleaning seeds to bake:

Adam joined us when he got home too. He played Playstation with Paul while I finished up carving my pumpkin. And Gerrit didn't run into the coffee table tonight either! (I look pregnant but I'm NOT - my shirt is caught between my arm and Gerrit!) And tomorrow night I'm off to the Wild game with them!

So Anne had the fun job of cleaning the seeds & baking them! How did they taste? The pumpkins look good too.

she hadn't baked them yet when we left. a few pumpkins had seeds that were fairly clean so we tried to use them. i did save some seeds to plant for next year!
