"You are not here to live a mediocre to average life; you are here to live an amazing life, a miraculous life. If it weren't for your challenges, there would be no miracles. You must do that which seems impossible, for it is only in the impossible that miracles are had." - author unknown, but very respected

Carving Pumpkins!

Carved our pumpkins!  Finally.  Usually we do it too soon though, so this was probably just right.  

Everyone had fun and did their own pumpkins!!  (for the most part)

Jack loved it!!  I was so surprised at how into it he got.  He didn't stop doing it with us, he was right there, the whole time.


Even Misty helped.


Bradley had the perfect idea and delivered!  He was so fun, talking and getting all into it.





Erika too!  Cleaned out her own pumpkin!




Showing us what his pumpkin looks like



Kelly had some elaborate plan for her Frankenstein pumpkin, took her all evening to pull it off, but she did it!!  It was really really cool!  I was impressed.  


I love the love Noah has for Kelly.




Nate is the designated draw-er


Charity had a good time this year, didn't get too discouraged at all!  I was happy for her!


Carving his own pumpkin!  (he required a little help after, but did so good!)


Making her mustache


This was so cute- Jack was playing with my pumpkin like it was a puzzle.  It was so cute!!  The pieces went in and out all night :).  I loved it.




This was the cool design we found on pinterest for Noah's dragon.  Nate drew it perfectly!  I carved it perfectly!  It's just awesome!






Jack's finished product



Bradley's finished product.  Nate and I cringed when Bradley told us he'd picked this little green one from the garden, but look how cool it turned out!


This was mine.  Nate's never really got carved because he wanted to do it, but was drawing faces on everyone else's all night.  It would have been really cool though- it was a clown face.

Erika's witch!
