Pumpkin Day
We have had Eileen's pumpkin for a while now (she went with her school) so today Bryan took the kids to get another pumpkin. They went to two places since Bryan was not impressed with the selection at the first stop and came home with "the biggest pumpkin ever!", to quote Eileen.

Joseph loved all the pumpkins and wanted to hold all of them (and I'm guessing to throw them)

Olivia and Joseph cleaning out their pumpkin, Joseph hated the innards and wouldn't touch them. Olivia had no problem with it and in fact got her pumpkin really clean.

Eileen drew a picture of the face she wanted for her pumpkin so Bryan would get it right (you can see it in red ink behind the pumpkin). Once Bryan saw the circles he ran to the basement for his drill!

Bryan got Olivia to agree to give her pumpkin big eyes (he got to use his hole bit for that) but had to use the knife for the nose and mouth. I don't think he is handling the knife properly here (and he certainly should be at least looking at what he is doing rather than the game!), maybe he should take a knife technique class like Nana and I did a few weeks ago!

After bath, treat, and teeth we took the kids outside to see their now Jack-O-Lanterns lit up at night.

I just love the look on Joseph's face!! He LOVES the pumpkins, and to now see the faces on them was just putting him over the top!
