Good evening!

My sweetie and I just got back from taking our neice and nephew, Megan and Morgan home this evening! They came over this evening to have dinner and then to carve some pumpkins with us! This was one of my life list memories I wanted to make, and I am so glad I did!!

Megan and Morgan were so excited, but in all honesty so was Jason and I!!! The first thing we did was to go pick out our pumpkins. Morgan picked the very first pumpkin he saw, and Megan picked up the biggest pumpkin she could find!!

After dinner we covered the dining room table with newspaper and started cleaning out our pumpkins, we were literally up to our elbows in pumpkin guts!! EEEW!!! Morgan was COMPLETELY creeped out by the pumpkin innards, and Uncle Jay-Jay finally convinced him to just touch it! This look on his face is just so funny, but the sound that was coming out of his mouth was simply PRICELESS!! He doesn’t gross out easily, you know!! 😉

Now Megan on the other hand, I could keep her hand out of the guts bowl!! She just kept squishing it through her fingers, and was ABSOLUTELY LOVING IT!! She is just so funny!! Whenever she would finally take her hand out of the bowl, she would make a point to discreetly sweep her gooey hands across brothers’ bare skin just so she could see him squirm! She got such a giggle out of that!! Silly girl!! 😉

The boys worked on one pumpkin, and us girls worked on the other. I caught this fantastic picture of the boys heavily concentrating on the carving of their face. Jason did the carving, and Morgan basically did all of the directing and supervising! They were just soooo adorable!! Mirror images of each other!!! 😉

Here is a picture of the kids anxiously awaiting the “lighting ceremony”. Morgan was just adamant that the jack-o-lanterns WERE NOT DONE until they had a candle inside of them!! So, you know us, we aim to please!!! 😉

Don’t they look GREAT??? Megan’s is the one on the left, and Morgan’s is the one on the right!! As if I REALLY had to tell you, I am sure if you had to figure it out on your own, I am sure you would have been right!!! 😉

One last picture: I promised Morgan that I would post this picture. This is a side shot of the boys’ jack-o-lantern. I said, “Morgan, that is such a cool lightning bolt!” He quickly corrected me by saying, “That’s not a lightning bolt, that’s our SCAR Auntie Chrissy!!!” Oh, sorry, I am not sure what I was thinking!!! Boys will be boys, whether they are 5 or 35!! 😉

Thank you, Nette, for letting us borrow your kiddos!! We had such a fun night tonight!Until next year, when we carve pumpkins for Halloween again…

Have a FABULOUS evening!
