Pumpkin Carving for FHE

Yesterday we let the boys carve their pumpkins. Hopefully they don't rot to much before Halloween.
This year they finally would clean out the pumpkin guts. Every other year they would cry and not touch the stuff. I never got it because they will pick up Disgusting frogs, snakes, and even nasty slimy slugs that we had all over in Washington but touching pumpkin guts was to much.







This is how our adventure started. I 1st took them to get Hair cuts. They hate Hair cuts, and I got the brilliant idea to do all 3 at once. Seeing how Gavin flipped out and the other two were left running around the salon I realized it wasn't such a great idea. Then I headed over to the store to get the pumpkins. And with 700 kids all trying to get the very best pumpkins that are lined up right along the street. I made them just pick the once closest to the stores door, they were not to pleased with this decision. Then as we were coming home they started chanting MCDONALD'S MCDONALD'S. I refused to take them there seeing how it's clear on the other side of the freeway. And I already had dinner cooking at home. So during this fighting process and MCDONALD'S being screamed into my ear I was pulling in to the garage and OOPS hit the house with the car. Oh did I mention that I've been super sick all week?? It was a wonderful experience. But with all that we did manage to have a GREAT FAMILY night and the pumpkins turned out really cute. The boys felt so bad for me that I was so upset by hitting the house they were being extra helpful. And my amazing husband instead of getting upset just gave me the biggest hug and said "Tough day?" Isn't he the best!!!
