Oh what a night! It's been awhile since we've had plans on a Saturday night. We decided it was a good day to carve pumpkins, so we invited Ben and Amzie over for dinner and some good old fashioned pumpkin carving. I must say, with the limited supplies we had available (crayons and steak knives) we created some beautiful - and very expressive - pumpkin faces! We spread out the newspaper and drew our outlines...
Then cut open the tops and scooped out the insides. Max loved this part! He was not a bit afraid to get messy.
In fact, I think he was a little afraid that he wouldn't get messy enough! We carved the faces out and Max attempted to put his entire head inside my pumpkin...
And finally, the finished product!
After all of that hard work, we needed some refreshment so we sent the kids to bed, lit our Jack o' Lanterns and made ourselves some Flaming Pumpkins!
Next up, pumpkin pie!

Nope, flaming pumpkin shots- the ones Kelley made for us in Rapid City. Paul tried his hand at them and succeeded!
