Jack-O-Lantern!

For Family Home Evening on Monday we had our own little pumpkin carving party. Hoyt had been asking for about three weeks when we would be able to carve a jack-o-lantern. He was so excited and couldn't wait to help carve....scoop out the goop....and put a candle in it. Ryon did most of the help with the carving, while I was in charge of scooping out the insides. (Why do I always get the dirty job??)

At the end of the night we had a great looking jack-o-lantern and one very happy little boy. After placing it on the front porch with the rest of our pumpkins we had apple pie and ice cream for dessert. Sounds like a perfect October FHE to me!

The boy and his jack-o-lantern!

We had to get a picture of dad carving - I love the look on Hoyt's face. I think he is definitely enjoying himself!

This is what I get when I ask Hoyt to "smile" these days. What a funny boy!

Hoyt helps me turn on all the decorations and light the pumpkin every night. I think he'll be sad when Halloween is over!

Just a shot of baby brudder too - 30 weeks and counting!
