Carving Pumpkins!

We carved Pumpkins last night for family night. It was interesting this year. I guess I was expecting the Lilos to enjoy it a little more then they did. They hated the guts and the only part that Landon liked was being able to hold the little knives. He cried when he got the guts on him and Leah just wouldn't touch any of it. Jer had a brilliant idea to let them color their pumpkins. So, while Jer and I carved ours they went to town coloring themselves and the pumpkins. Maybe next year they will enjoy it more, but I will have the paint and markers ready just in case:)

After carving pumpkins we let the kids decorate their own sugar cookies. They could have cared less for the cookie or the frosting. They sat and ate all the toppings. I love these two crazy monkeys!
