Time to Carve!

It was pumpkin carving time!

 The girls went with hearts and love, flowers and bows!

 The boys, still on a high from winning state....went with this....

Pumpkin Time!

 It was Halloween eve and the Hardy littles were ready to pick and carve their pumpkins....so we headed to the pumpkin stand on the corner!

 Everyone picked their perfect pumpkin!

Lila Ray really enjoyed picking her pumpkin! God love her...we picked one for her!

 Later at home we gutted and the kids drew their pumpkin designs on paper....

 Then we carved! Lila wanted a "gull" pumpkin (girl)...with this pom pom she had to have from Garden Ridge on top!

 Sarah Kate wanted a princess...with big eye lashes!

 Riggs was ever so creative...his pumpkin was a runner...who was out of breath and his eyes were x and c for cross country!

 Rolls wanted a vampire and his design turned out great!

 we lit them and put them in the bathroom and went in to preview them for tomorrow night! They look great! We can't wait to light them up on the porch for Halloween!

Let the Carving Begin!

 Gran Gran got the girls rhinestone Halloween pumpkin kits..a kitty for Lila and a Princess for SK but the boys went the traditional route. They got a pencil and paper and drew what they wanted their faces to look like and put daddy to work! Riggs decided he was going to be brave this year and scoop his own pumpkin guts out...as he put his hand in to the wet, bumpy mess of his pumpkin.... his face was priceless!

 I had the honor of doing Lila's pumpkin and the payoff was a big one...she LOVED her bling Kitty pumpkin...she hugged him and kissed him...and then hugged me and kissed me for making him for her..too die for!

Sarah Kate's princess...Sk really liked her tiara and ear rings!

 Riggs' finished pumpkin......

Rollins waited while daddy patiently put in all the scars across his pumpkins' forehead

And then we went outside and lit them up and they were fabulous! The kids were so happy and so proud of them! And now that we have Jack-a-mans on the front porch we are officially ready for Halloween!
