We're All Going Bananas (ehhh...Pumpkins) Around Here!

We had a pumpkin crazed afternoon at the Davis Homestead today! But first we needed to get our work done!


Aiden the 'worker' raking leaves



Tyson the 'runner' as soon as Daddy fired up the sucker/blower machine


Then, we got down to some very important pumpkin business! Aiden wanted so badly to carve a pumpkin this year so, Jeff and I tried to make that happen for him! We got the kitchen table all prepped and ready to go! We had two bouncy and excited boys' and then we cut those pumpkins open...
                                                      EWWWWWW...GROSS!!!!!!

So, before Jeff or I could say 'Happy Halloween' both boys' were sitting at the kitchen table with their noses and eyes all contored watching us elbow deep in those babies! Well, the carving did not go as planned and Jeff and I hurridly carved two pumpkins that looked like they were carved by a 4 and 2 year old! Come by our house and take a gander for a good chuckle!

BUT, Mom (pat on the back for myself, thank-you very much) came to the rescue with paint! So, off went the clothes, out came the pint-size punkies for the little lads', and away they went!

I had to redeem myself with the carved pumpkin on the front porch and painted my own pumpkin! Here are our finished masterpieces!

I think they turned out great! Aiden's is the one on the left and looks so awesome in person! Ty's is on the left and has more color/paint on the stem of the pumpkin then the actual pumpkin, but he had a heck of a good time!

We ended our pumpkin frenzy with pizza for dinner and pumpkin shaped cookies for dessert!

A pumpkin frenzy would not be complete without taking a few pictures on the front porch with our finished projects.

I know you are laughing at the carved pumpkins right now! It's OK....we did too!

And then I have to end this post with this snap shot that I got of Ty while I was supposed to be raking!

Gosh I love this little punky of mine!!!
