pumpkins, carved to order

It's pumpkin, it's pumpkin time. Da-dum, da-dum, da-da, da-da da-dum. (Flight of the Conchords, anyone?)

Anyway, obscure media references aside, after a long week away from the kiddos, it was SO good to be back together. Tonight was a perfect opportunity to spend some much-needed family time together. We carved pumpkins! Well, I made dinner and dessert and took pictures while Daddy & the kids carved pumpkins.

Maddie is a seed-remover extraordinaire! Ben is a hard-working carver who happened to take special, hand-drawn orders this year. :) Two pirate pumpkins ordered by our two pumpkins.

Sooooo cute! I think Ben did an awesome job and the kids are thrilled with their eye patches and other special requests (Sam's has ears). 

Looking forward to trick-or-treating with friends and around our wonderful neighborhood!
