pumpkins and jack o lanterns

photos just like i promised. the first ones taken with  the kids digging and cleaning. the last few all of us with our jack o lanterns. i had the kiddos draw a face on their pumpkin and then jim cut it out. i drew my cat (free hand) and then cut mine out (manually, jim used a battery operated carver). it was the first time i've ever carved a pumpkin as jim normally does them all.


Digging for.....orange!
Kainan scooping, Camden showing it all off!

Ewwww! Look! It's big!
i love this picture! Kainan with a handfull of yuck and Camden cutely peeking!!

  1. I am Kathie's sister from Just a Happy Housewife and although I do not have a blog I enjoy blog hopping. Love the Jack o'lanterns and have a quick tip you might enjoy or not-- sprinkle cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice on the lid so when the candle burns it heats the spice and makes it smell nice! You may already know that but I did'nt the first time we carved jack 'o lanterns! Happy Autumn!

  2. Karyl, that is a FABULOUS idea!!! We talked about possibly getting a few more pumpkins to carve before Halloween actually gets here {I didn't use vaseline on the inside of the jack o lanters to keep it from drying out}...but I don't think we are going to do anymore this year. Next year I will definitely be sprinkling the lids of the jack o lanterns with smelly yummies!!!! Great idea! And thanks for visiting!
