Pumpkin Carvin'

Once again, Madigan and Ted took charge of the pumpkin carving at our house. But first, Madigan had to pose with her pumpkin...
Then the carving could finally start! Just like last year, Madigan was VERY into it at first...But after awhile, the focus started to break down. So, she played around with the flashlight...
Ate a little snack...
Colored a picture...
And found fun ways to play with the parts of the pumpkin that Daddy wasn't using!
Here's a video that we think is hysterical. Pay close attention to the last few seconds of it - a little pumpkin goo gets loose and lands on Madigan's face. It was hilarious! Ted and I have gotten way too much enjoyment out of watching this over and over and over...


Last year, Ted made Madigan a Dora pumpkin. This year, she requested Boots. Ted, however, couldn't seem to stop himself with just one design. So, he carved Boots...
Dora (again)...The Grumpy Old Troll...and Swiper!Pretty impressive, huh? And what was I doing during all of this? I made my own pumpkin...using a pre-packaged decoration set that all you have to do is stick the plastic down in the pumpkin! Yes, that IS my level of creativity. I didn't even draw the face on - Ted did that too! Oh well, at least one Bowsman parent is artistic!
Happy Halloween!!!
