A carving we will go...

Sunday afternoon Radley and Ryan headed over to the Bailey's to help Will fix his fence from the monsoon of October 2013. Meanwhile, I played pick up every toy imaginable enjoyed the afternoon with the girls. When the boys returned I had our pumpkin carving station all set up to go!


He really wanted a picture of his eyeball hand.


Emmy drew a lovely design on her pumpkins that consisted of lots of Es, Ms, Ys, and Rs. 


Landry's task was to paint the smallest pumpkin I have ever seen. 



Sadly we had to set up shop in the garage since our backyard is still under attack from about 1000 mosquitoes. Ugh.


But it was still tons of fun and all of us were entertained and enjoying the cool breeze that accompanied our afternoon.


Little hands hard at work creating their very own masterpieces. 


Landry wasn't so sure about the paint on her fingers, but if she takes after her momma, she will learn that no matter the size of the paint project, it will always end up on something besides the project itself.


The gold actually turned out pretty nice on the orange!


After the boys got their pumpkin all cleaned out, Radley created an original design inspired by Angry Birds. 


"Hands up Landry, don't touch anything."


He really surprised me with this carving skills!


He did get a little help from Daddy, though.


He was just so pumped with the final masterpiece! 

"This. looks. AWESOME!!!!"


Emmy and Landry lots interest at some point and stuck to blowing bubbles and looking cute. 


Once everything dried, we placed the painted pumpkins inside for all to see. Emmy wanted me to make sure and let Gigi and Pops know that she painted a purple and gold one for their Tigers. 
SMH.


And once the sun went down, we all felt safe with this ghostly ghoul on our porch!
