Pumpkin Carving 2021

 This year's pumpkin carving, sadly happened over the course of a few days. The kids took the earliest opportunity to carve theirs (Tuesday) while Matthew was in a work meeting. He couldn't do his and I knew mine was going to take too much work than I had time just then so I elected to work on mine later with Matthew. The kids were disappointed that we didn't get them all done together, but I loved watching them work on theirs; especially since now they can do it all from start to finish.

Dude was especially proud of himself since he needed zero help. Luca just needed help cutting out the hole.



Luca had way too much fun playing with the guts and giving her little pumpkin puppy a tongue.

So glad Matthew and I waited to do ours since Dude happily volunteered to wash and gut ours for us. I love that boy of mine!


Since Halloween fell on a Sunday this year, the four wards in West Salem did a Trunk or Treat at the Stake Center so here are our pumpkins in an attempt to add more decoration to our car. The goal was to light them but the candles were surprisingly difficult to keep lit even in mild condition. We had to wait until we could get the pumpkins into the security of our house to get the full effect.

But there you have our masterpieces. (From Left to Right, Luca, Matthew, mine, Zachary)
