PUMPKIN CARVING

Pin It

If this squinting smiling puppy doesn't make you happy, nothing probably will! 
 Saturday we finally found some time to carve our pumpkins.  Husband promised our nephew he would carve Mickey Mouse and I was sort of stumped this year so I just carved a weird face.  Not our finest work, but whatever. It was SO BRIGHT outside that day we had a hard time seeing what we were doing.  I took a few pictures of Bella...she couldn't keep her eyes open either.  It was also 43 degrees so it was weird because going outside it was freezing but then sitting in the bright sun for a while it started to get too hot.  Basically, our pumpkin carving time was just uncomfortable. We also found some time to watch Hocus Pocus,  drink hot cups of cider and attend our church's Fall Festival where we got to taste test for a chili cook-off, watch the kids do pony rides and hay rides.  It was freezing, but very much what late fall in Michigan is like!  Here are a few mor of our pumpkin carving photos!
"mom, I really can't see, okay?" 




that would be me wrapped in a blanket and bella running back inside because it was too cold to  admire our pumpkins!
