Pumpkin carving

Monday night was our second annual pumpkin carving family night with the Madsen's, which Marci and I declared to now be a tradition.  Last year was at our house and this year we went to theirs and carved away.  We had a good time with them, as always.

 

This is where the babies hung out the whole time.  They had their own party. :)  Baby Ally is exactly three months older than baby Claire.  They will be bff someday, I'm sure.

 Ha- the picture below is our attempt to show that Lucy helped with the process.  Clearly we have an artist since she drew a great outline while not looking at the pumpkin at all. ;)

I promised Adam that I wouldn't facebook this picture (I rarely use FB anyway) but I didn't make any promises about the blog.

I had to include this one even though it was blurry because I didn't realize when we were taking the picture that Lucy was actually kissing the pumpkin. ha!

Don't my girls look thrilled?  I promise they did have a good time.  Lucy always loves that she gets lots of treats there and this night was no exception.  She knows right where their fruit snacks are. :)

 This was the best group kid shot we got because....

 ....the rest involved Lucy bawling her eyes out because she was scared of being outside in the dark.
