Saturday, we had a pumpkin party at our house, with all sorts of fun pumpkin activities. Here was the official announcement:
Pumpkin Pizzas: First, we each decorated our own pumpkin-shaped pizza.
Finished pizzas: Top left: James, me; Bottom left: Davis, Landon, Shane.
Carving Pumpkins: After eating pizza, we started the pumpkin carving. The boys did a pretty good cleaning out their pumpkins, and then they drew a shape on it with a dry erase marker for Shane or me to carve out. Davis had been saying all week that he wanted to do a “ghost” pumpkin, meaning a ghost mouth, so he got right to work. James wanted a ghost pumpkin too, so Landon’s was the only one a little different. Shane and I always forget how much work it is to get the boys’ pumpkins carved, and then we’re pretty worn out by the time we finally start ours. (I had some camera issues, so I didn’t get to many pictures of the actual pumpkin carving.)
One time, I looked over to see James licking off his spoon after pulling some stuff out of the pumpkins. He seemed to like it!
The finished pumpkins:
Left to Right: Shane’s, Davis’s, Landon’s, James’s, and mine – bottom is Kelly’s sick pumpkin.
Pumpkin Rice Krispies and a Pumpkin Show: After carving pumpkins, we made and decorated some pumpkin rice krispies from Grandma Morris, then watched “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.” It was a fun night!

Cute pics! What a fun idea to have a "party". Great pumpkins.
Looks like a fun time. Good job on all the planning. I am sure it is a great memory for the boys. Please tell them I like their pumpkins.
