Pumpkin Carving

Here are some pictures from our fun-filled pumpkin carving party with my friend Karen, her two kids Joey and Jennifer, and Nana (Joey and Jennifer's grandma from Arizona). We had a fun time. You'll probably notice that here in Hawaii we carve pumpkins inside the house where it is nice and air-conditioned and we put the pulp (or "yolk" as Mason kept calling it) in sand buckets. :)
We had a really fun time. Mason was the only kid not completely grossed out by the insides. He did a great job cleaning out and carving his pumpkin.
After we were done carving, Karen made a delicious dinner! It was a fun night! The kids were still talking about it on the way to school this morning.
On Wednesday we have swimming lessons and then we'll go back to school for the annual "Hallelujah Night". Our church does a big (HUGE actually) halloween alternative with games, free food and WAY TOO MUCH candy! I think last year over 3,000 people came. I am running a tic-tac-toe game booth. That night combined with parent-teacher conferences will make for a very busy and very tiring week. How soon until Friday?!?
