Pumpkin Carving

The past few weeks we have been crazy bust. Between Cody working and me preparing Christmas gifts, blogging and our weekend adventures, we just haven't had time to get prepared for the upcoming holiday. So with Halloween just around the corner, we decided to carve pumpkins this evening.

So we went to the store, picked out the perfect pumpkins, came home, turned on some mood music (Halloween Classics of course) and set to work.

Of course it got a little messy, but that's the fun part.

Even our dog Edmond got in the spirit of Halloween!

                                  

Well, I hope everyone is doing well. Either tomorrow or sometime this week, I'll be posting about our adventures Geocaching that led us to three forts. So keep an eye out!
