The Kids Carving Halloween Pumpkins

On Tuesday the kids got their pumpkins carved, and as always they are spooktacular! One of their favorite jobs is cleaning out the pumpkin guts...and Riley being the jokester that he is made lots of funny faces.





Madison was a bit more serious about the task at hand.





The finished pumpkins...ready to be set outside.



Nice pumpkins...if I do say so myself! :)
