Our first Jack-o-Lanterns!

See these happy faces? We carved our first pumpkins today! The boys got these pumpkins on their Pumpkin Patch field trip at school yesterday. 

We have gotten pumpkins every year of the boys' life but we've never carved them. I just didn't want to deal with the mess, or something. But it was really fun! The boys picked which shapes they wanted for the eyes, ears, and mouth and I cut them out.

True to their personalities, Micah asked for a smily face and Benji asked for a scary face. :D

(I must say, as the boys get older, this whole parenting thing is getting a lot more fun. ;)
