Last night we had our second annual pumpkin carving with my in-laws.

 We had four pumpkins to carve and the grandparents brought three more.

The party was only slightly marred by Elizabeth throwing up on me twice. Yes, twice. But we didn’t let that stop the fun (because otherwise she was perfectly normal and bouncing around. We chalked it up to her having eaten something that didn’t agree with her- she said her tummy hurt her). Anyway, what is a Halloween celebration without something gross? At least my house is now more disinfected now than it was before.

I also forgot that Elizabeth will not intentionally get her hands icky. She refused to touch the inside of the pumpkin. She was at least willing to fish out a few seeds with a spoon and seemed to have a lot of fun doing that.

Duncan kindly let me use his power drill on one of the pumpkins (I love using the power drill and thought it would be really cute). Instead of just drilling holes, I tried to drill a face. I think it might have been better just drilling holes all around, but it was still fun and turned out ok (the nose did become a triangle cut out since I really messed that part up-see behind the baby below).

I think the baby pumpkin Duncan carved was my favorite. Elizabeth was very concerned that the pumpkin had her pacifier.

Here is the final shot of our masterpieces:
