Carving Pumpkins

Every year the kids get to paint little pumpkins a couple of weeks before Halloween. It works out good because it holds them off a little bit longer from carving the big pumpkins. This year they talked us into carving the pumpkins 1 week before Halloween so every night I had to put them in our sink to keep them from rotting. I told them next year we will only do it a couple of days before Halloween. Ellie wanted just a plain jack-o-lantern face and Cole picked out a pirate ship.
Of course Carson and I did all the work but the kids loved them in the end.
